Suburban
About these designs.Suburban developments need to respond to the twin challenges of higher land costs and the decreasing availability of land in the areas people want to live. The market also demands a high level of design quality, offering generous spaces and superior building performance.
In a modern suburban community people need to know that their home will still look good in 10 years as will their neighbours’, protecting the value of their principal asset. As illustrated in this design, brick can provide a quiet haven that is low maintenance and offers good weathering qualities.
Aesthetically, brick provides interest and warmth to this street. Thermally it is also excellent when used in conjunction with well-designed solar access and overhangs.
