Housing options
Social diversity is important for the development of a healthy community and to this end a range of housing options to suit different people in different stages of life is planned at Illabunda. The site plan now includes 23 dwellings with a mix of free-standing houses, duplexes, terraces and single level apartments.
Free-standing Houses
6 lots (11 - 16) will be sold freehold and the purchaser will be able to build their own home.
All houses will be expected to be of passive solar design, using low-toxicity, low embodied energy, sustainable materials and technologies and achieve a high energy efficiency rating. Designs will be expected to respect the privacy of and solar access for neighbouring dwellings and comply with the building envelope for that lot.
Natural building constructions such as rammed earth and straw-bale will be encouraged providing the design and finish is in keeping with the character of the village as outlined in the architectural guidelines. (View proposed colour palette here).
Illabunda's Design Review Panel will partner interested purchasers during the design process to ensure their proposals align with the Illabunda vision.
Our architect, Blue World Architecture, is also developing a series of designs which will be suitable these lots. Draft versions of two of these designs are shown here:
- Lots 11 – 12: Floor Plans
- Lots 13-14: Floor Plans, Elevation, 3D View
Duplex Houses
Lots 2/3 and 4/5 will be duplex houses. Duplexes provide family sized two-storey homes at a lower cost than free-standing houses on individual lots. Blueworld has designed duplex houses which provide a good-sized four bedroom family home with delightful north-facing living areas on compact lots. These houses will be very comfortable to live in with design energy efficiency ratings of 8.5 to 9 stars.
Lots 2/3 - Basement floor plan, Ground floor plan, 1st floor plan, West and East elevations, South and North elevations, Internal cross-section.
Lots 4/5 - Ground floor plan, 1st floor plan, West and East elevations, South and North elevations, Internal cross-section.
Terrace Houses
Lots 6 - 9 will be three bedroom "Garden Terraces". These will be north facing terrace houses with their own deck and garden area to the north. They are a generous design with three bedrooms and two separate living areas and total floor area of 187m2 plus decks. Energy efficiency ratings - 8.5 to 9 stars.
Apartments
We have responded to requests for more single level compact living, and have developed a new design for the sky terraces building. The design includes a mixture of two and three bedroom single level apartments with lift access to levels 1 and 2.
This will provide five 2 bedroom apartments and four 3 bedroom apartments and a small business centre on lot 10. The apartments are in two separate buildings and consist of:
- "Sky Terrace": Energy efficiency ratings - 8.5 to 9 stars. Ground floor plan (community business centre), 1st floor plan (2x 3 bed unit), 2nd floor plan (2 x 3 bed unit), Internal section, North and East elevations, South and West elevations
- "Garden Apartments": Energy efficiency ratings - 8 to 8.5 stars. (4 x 2 bed unit). Ground floor plan, 1st floor plan, North and East elevations, South and West elevations
