“Our house might feel upside down to some
people, but this layout works so well for us,” says
Craig. “Upstairs is open plan and all the spaces are
well connected. Having different zones works well
with two boys – they’re relatively loud and busy
and messy – and the practical living areas are just
amazing. For Megan and me, there is so much joy
in being able to see trees from almost every area
of the house.”
