Pascoe Vale – Compact, Bright & Comfort-Driven Family Home

Designed by Simone prior to joining reimagined habitat

This thoughtfully crafted new home in Pascoe Vale embraces the beauty of simple, honest design while delivering a warm, efficient, and uplifting space for a young family. Compact in footprint yet wonderfully spacious in feel, the home balances practicality with charm, offering a calm and inviting environment that supports everyday family life with ease.

A defining feature of the design is the striking use of recycled red brick, bringing depth, texture, and a sense of timeless character to the home. Paired with burnished concrete floors, the palette blends warmth and modernity, while also contributing to thermal stability and durability.

The interior opens into bright, airy living spaces, shaped by high raked ceilings and north-facing highlight windows that draw gentle winter sun deep into the home. This thoughtful orientation supports natural warmth, reduces energy demand, and creates a beautifully light-filled atmosphere throughout the year.

Energy efficiency is further enhanced through high-performing double-glazed uPVC windows, ensuring excellent insulation, reduced heat loss, and comfortable indoor temperatures across the seasons — all essential qualities for a home designed to grow with a young family.

At the heart of the home sits a beautiful, contemporary kitchen, where soft green feature pendants add personality and a subtle hint of colour. Beyond the main living zones, a separate studio provides valuable flexibility — perfect for a home office, creative space, guest room, or peaceful retreat.

Blending style, performance, and practicality, this Pascoe Vale residence offers a fresh, modern approach to compact family living — proving that a smaller footprint can still deliver generous comfort, warmth, and functionality.
