This Bayside home built by Capital Building Contractors is a low-maintenance haven. The clients requested a cost-effective home with superior energy efficiency, and received a contemporary beach shack that is a sustainable and stylish hub. The façade features a vibrant colour palette with impressive street appeal, as well as a large garage and modern landscaping.

The spacious open-plan layout is filled with natural light from the north facing double-glazed windows, and provides plenty of room for the homeowners to relax and entertain guests. Showcasing 2.7-metre-high ceilings, the home exudes a sense of modern luxury, while retaining its relaxed costal vibe with the use of recycled timber flooring, benchtops and cupboards.

A north-facing garden courtyard joins the two main living areas together for a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Renowned for its environmentally friendly designs, Capital Building Contractors ensured the home was fitted with plenty of economical and energy-saving features. These include a 5kW roof solar panel system, two 4kW reverse-cycle air conditioning units for heating and cooling, four water tanks with drinking-water filters, and a heat pump-powered hot water system.
