This Forresdale duplex combines thoughtful design, efficient construction methods, and sustainability-focused features to create a housing solution well suited to modern families and median-income households.
More Space From A Smaller Footprint
A practical housing solution that makes better use of smaller lots while maintaining the space, comfort and quality people expect from a new home.
Better Value From Your Land
Utilising timber framing within a hybrid construction approach can help you achieve greater value from your land.
By reducing external wall thicknesses, the design is able to maximise internal floor space and make more effective use of the available site area. On smaller lots, every millimetre matters — and gaining additional internal space without increasing the building footprint can make a significant difference to how a home feels and functions.
The approach combines the lightweight, efficient characteristics of timber construction with other materials where they add value, including contemporary finishes and thermal mass where appropriate.
Construction Efficiency
Timber framing offers a range of practical advantages throughout the construction process and into the life of the home.
Faster construction
A lightweight timber structure can be erected quickly and efficiently, helping reduce on-site construction time. This home has the potential to be completed in as little as 16 weeks.
Less on-site labour
Timber framing can streamline construction and reduce the amount of labour required on site, supporting more efficient project delivery.
Efficiency For You
Timber framing offers a housing solution that is well suited to modern families and median-income households.
Better energy performance
It provides flexibility to incorporate high levels of insulation, helping improve the thermal performance of the home and reduce reliance on heating and cooling.
Design flexibility
Timber construction provides considerable flexibility in design and can accommodate future modifications, making it well suited to changing household needs.
Building Smarter.
By integrating timber construction into a mainstream project-home delivery model, it shows how lightweight construction can be applied at scale — providing a practical way to deliver homes that are faster to build, efficient to operate and designed around the needs of everyday homeowners.
As Western Australia’s housing market continues to face affordability, labour and construction pressures, projects like this demonstrate the potential of timber framing to help deliver more efficient, better-performing and highly liveable homes — without compromising on quality or value.
The result: a smarter approach to duplex construction that makes better use of land, improves building performance and helps make quality housing more accessible.
