Project brief
A thoughtfully planned dual-building residential development designed for 357 Great Western Highway, Springwood NSW, comprising a contemporary Secondary Dwelling (Granny Flat) and a Detached Studio. The proposal delivers two independent, well-organised structures that maximize site functionality while maintaining clear separation between residential and flexible-use spaces. Both buildings adopt a clean modern architectural language with simple roof forms, generous glazing, covered outdoor areas, and practical internal layouts, creating an efficient, low-maintenance development that responds to the site's planning controls and the requirements of the SEPP (Housing) 2021 framework. SECONDARY DWELLING (GRANNY) • 2 Bedrooms: Well-proportioned two-bedroom arrangement featuring integrated built-in wardrobes, large windows for natural daylight, and convenient access to the central bathroom. • 1 Bathroom: Centrally positioned family bathroom incorporating a shower, vanity, WC, and compliant lift-off hinged door arrangement, with the adjoining laundry strategically located to optimise plumbing efficiency. • Open Living, Kitchen & Dining: A bright open-plan family space combining the living room, dining area, and functional kitchen into a seamless communal environment with direct visual and physical connection to the outdoor alfresco. • Laundry: Compact dedicated laundry positioned adjacent to the bathroom to create an efficient wet-area core while maintaining easy household functionality. • Alfresco: Covered outdoor entertaining area extending directly from the main living zone, providing a sheltered transition between indoor and outdoor living. • Front Entry Porch: Welcoming covered porch providing a protected entrance and clear arrival sequence into the dwelling. • Garage & Storage: Attached single garage complemented by a dedicated storage room, providing secure vehicle accommodation together with practical storage capacity for household equipment and belongings. DETACHED STUDIO • Entertainment Area: Flexible open-plan entertainment/living space designed as the primary activity zone, offering a comfortable multipurpose environment with direct access to the outdoor alfresco. • Office: Dedicated private office providing a functional workspace suitable for study, administration, or home-based business activities. • 1 Bathroom: Conveniently positioned bathroom equipped with a shower, vanity, WC, and compliant fittings to support independent day-to-day use. • Rumpus Room: Separate rumpus area providing additional flexible accommodation suitable for recreation, hobbies, meetings, or multipurpose activities. • Alfresco: Covered outdoor living space enhancing the studio's usability while creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection. • Front Entry Porch: Compact covered porch forming a welcoming entrance and sheltered transition into the studio building. .
