Floor plan

Every wall in it is one you can move.

The portal frame carries the roof, so nothing inside is structural. Flip the plan if your block faces the other way.

Owners

People who built this one.

“We'd been quoted twice by project builders who both went quiet the moment we said the block had a 4-metre fall. MeDu priced the cut in the first week.”

“We flipped the plan so the living opens west instead of east. Took one conversation and cost nothing, because there's no wall in there holding anything up.”
