The Tweed

  • 2 bathrooms
  • 195 sqm living

Compact, considered, and the easiest of the seven to build

The Tweed is compact, considered, and easy to build. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two verandas that extend your living space outdoors. The Tweed is ideal for couples, downsizers, or anyone wanting a quality home on a smaller footprint. Choose any Colorbond colours to make it yours.

Everything you see here is what we manufacture ourselves. You build it as owner-builder, which is where the saving comes from, and we support you through approvals, engineering and certification.
