THE CONTEMPO

THE CONTEMPO
Traditional Suburban Home

The Contempo is a homely design that incorporates the elements of a traditional suburban home with a very functional layout.

One of our larger 2-bedroom suburban designs, the Contempo is a stylish 2-bedroom solution that boasts a full-size kitchen plus separate living and dining areas (a rarity with granny flats) with the option for a large open plan area. Other features include separate decks at either end of the living area (or the option of a wraparound deck), 2700mm high ceilings throughout, and ample storage. The Contempo feels very spacious.

Like many of our 2-bedroom designs (including The Metro) this granny flat has separate “living” and “bedroom” zones which help to create privacy. The built-in-robes in each bedroom have been positioned on either side of the central Bathroom to maximise privacy between the bedrooms. Only The Urban, which has 2 bedrooms on either side of the granny flat, offers greater privacy between bedrooms.

This was one of the first granny flat designs prepared by Metamorphouse Architects and it has been customised into many different forms to suit individual clients.

Large bedrooms with built in robes

Design

The Contempo is one of our larger “small home solutions” at 76m2 (plus Decks). Designed for those who want a comfortable, independent lifestyle, it features separate living and bedroom zones that ensure privacy. The open-plan living and dining area includes a full-size kitchen plus separate decks at either end of the living area (with the option of a wraparound deck) which will give the home a more open and spacious feel.
2 large bedrooms (to fit king or queen beds) with built-in-robes (customised to suit your needs).
Great privacy between the bedrooms. This is achieved by positioning the built-in-robes on either side of a central bathroom. We also add acoustic insulation to select internal walls.
Due to its size the Contempo is suited to Brisbane and other regions that permit larger granny flats or dual occupancy developments.
Custom-designed Kitchen (made right for you) with island bench, quality oven, cooktop & rangehood.
Modern bathroom design with separate toilet, quality tapware and accessories, full-height wall tiling plus a semi-frameless pivot door shower screen.
Colorbond or concrete tiled roof (fully sarked for weather protection).
Roof and wall insulation (we insulate the entire roof area plus external walls and fit acoustic insulation to select internal walls).
Termite-treated roof trusses and wall frames.
Various cladding options are available including brick veneer, weatherboard / chamferboard and architectural panels.
Quality powder-coated windows. Careful placement of windows and doors throughout ensures good natural light and cross-ventilation which is vital for a healthy home.
Gas or electric hot water unit. Option to upgrade to solar or heat pump.

Ideal for

Comfortable, independent living.
Rental opportunity.
A couple, executives, a small family or retirees looking to downsize gently.
