Director Paul Jones says that indoor-outdoor living is at the heart of the compact home. “The Papai’s open-plan kitchen, dining and living volume and two spacious bedrooms all have large sliders opening to expansive decks – making it a great beach house or holiday home.” Despite its relatively modest footprint, the modern and bright Papai achieves a roomy feel. Both bedrooms have generous wardrobe space, for example, and the bathroom is surprisingly spacious. There is also a utility room that could be used as a small third bedroom. And the Papai has all the character features that have made Lockwood a national icon for efficient, sustainable, lifestyle homes – with its raking ceilings, feature laminated beams and the overall warmth and natural feel of wood. The Papai is one of Lockwood’s most popular plans and there are four versions available.
