(prHWY.com) June 15, 2011 - Brisbane, Australia -- When it comes to houses, bigger isn't always better. As lots of land become smaller and smaller, particularly in the inner-city, builders and home owners alike have had to trade in their dreams of building castle-like homes and instead opt for smaller houses that fit on today's compact lots.
The rise of the small lot might be good for sustainability and affordability, but not all builders have embraced it with a product range that's designed to suit. Many other builders have floorplans that are just a little too wide, or worse, take up the whole lot with the house.
Award-winning
Queensland Builders Indigo Homes have recently designed the Malibu 245, which at just 8.3m wide fits perfectly on the smallest inner-city blocks.
"It has all the features of a larger home, and feels a lot bigger than it actually is," says Indigo Homes' Garry Harrison.
With all the features of a larger home - a master suite with ensuite and walk-in-robe, three large bedrooms, separate living spaces on both floors, dining and al fresco areas for entertaining and a study - the Malibu 245 is sure to be a new compact winner for 2011.
