About this Entry
Future Proofing
>
The open-plan layout and minimalist framing allow for easy configuration-whether the owners' needs evolve or future buyer wants to personalise the layout.
By avoiding excessive permanent fixtures, every zone in the 30m2 can flexibly shift between functions-living, dining, sleeping, working-using modular furniture, built-in storage- all supporting lifelong adaptability.
Little Luxuries uses solid timber framing, Double-glazed safety glass, and robust fittings that withstand wear with minimising future repairs(e.g., rot, leaks, drafts).
High-performance insulation and quality glazing reduce demand on heating/cooling systems, directly lowering both maintenance burden and operating costs.
The compact 30m2 footprint naturally curtails energy consumption-smaller spaces means less to heat, cool, and power.
With superior insulation, sealed design, LED lighting and energy-smart appliances, ongoing utility expenses are kept lean.
It's primed for solar or grey-water upgrades later-Little Luxuries is geared to fit renewable-tech add-ons with minimal retrofitting.
Concealed conduits and service pathways(electrical, plumbing, data) enable smooth future upgrades-such as adding Solar PV, smart thermostats, or EV Charging-without invasive rebuilds.
Panel workshop-built construction materials ensures consistent standards, tight build tolerance, and low waste-leading to a sturdy build that performs reliably over time.
Precision factory-building keeps construction waste minimal. Timber Panel walls can be disassembled or recycled later-ensuring resilience and circularity.
Preference for durable timber and double glazing means fewer replacements over the buildings lifespan.
Liveability
>
Generous double-glazed sliding, stacker doors and windows are strategically placed to fill the home with natural light throughout the day, boosting mental well-being and reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
The layout promotes cross-ventilation, supporting passive cooling and fresh air flow without needing constant mechanical intervention.
Pre-installed Hitachi Heat pumps allows consistent warming and air-conditioning so comfort can be obtained all year round.
The open-plan layout maximizes usable space, with seamless transitions between kitchen, living, and sleeping zones.
The full-size kitchen includes ample bench space, smart drawer storage, and premium appliances-giving you a feel of a traditional home in a compact footprint.
Generous bathroom with a proper shower, eco efficient toilet, hand basin and linen cupboard.
High-quality insulation (floor, wall, and ceiling) and double glazing ensure year round comfort.
Natural wood tones, soft palettes, and handcrafted detailing create a calming, cosy atmosphere that feels like home.
Every material is chosen not just for looks, but for tactile comfort, longevity, and low maintenance.
Sound-dampening materials help maintain a sense of peace and quiet inside.
Full sensor and smart security system installed for sense for privacy and peace of mind.

Aesthetic Appeal & Special Features
>
The build is small at only 30m2 in size, this one bedroom little luxury contains all ammenities of a modern conventional house. Sensor lighting on the exterior with a full light up soffit. Night sensor in bathroom for easy navigation at night. Dim lighting to be able to set the scene and mood. Full security system to sense of security.
The floor plan separates the living area to one end of the home and the bedroom is set to the opposite end. We have built the bathroom in the centre of the home, this allows for little disturbance to either space while requiring use of bathroom facilities. The washer/dryer is a combination appliance to only require 1x space. The house is fitted with 2X large opening doors for indoor outdoor flow.
