“This is due to the design. There are no
passageways, for example, so extra space
could be allotted to living areas. Yet there
is good separation between the master
suite at one end of the house, and the two
bedrooms at the opposite end.”
The blonded wood walls and ceilings
have a whitewashed, Scandinavian look
that helps to keep the interior light. Two
skylights, one in the kitchen and another
in the master bathroom, bring in plenty of
additional natural light.
“The front door and entry area in this

home are on the opposite side to the large
sliders. This creates a real sense of arrival,
and maintains privacy.”

Above left: A raised roof in the central volume
of this new Lockwood show home ensures the
living area is especially spacious. The home, which
highlights the Skagen concept plan, also features
a contemporary pergola with timber screens that
add a little privacy to the deck.
Top and above: Blonded timber lines the walls
and ceilings, helping to keep the interior light and
airy. As with all Lockwood homes, the Skagen
is well insulated and earthquake resistant.
Because the wood helps the house to breathe, the
home provides a particularly comfortable living
environment.
