DREAM IT. DESIGN IT. DO IT.

Turning the cookie-cutter modular house myth on its head, this prefabricated home proves that thinking outside the box pays off

In order to build their dream place, this Rose Bay family chose a designer prefab solution

Who lives here: Pippa and Bruce Lee; and their children, Jensen, 6; and Sienna, 4;4 plus family dog, Jett.

Style of home: A customised prefab home that incorporates the curves found in a neighbouring building. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two studies, plus a pool out the back. It took about eight months for the home to be built, delivered and ready to move in. The cost of the build, including the Prebuilt house, onsite build, pool, landscaping and interior design, was $1.85 million.

The curved exterior is a striking feature, clad in cedar stained with Cutek ‘Colourtone’ oil in Black Ash. Out the back (opposite), horizontal Scyon ‘ Stria’ cladding in Dune contrasts with vertical Weathertex weatherboards in Haymes Black Pitch paint.
