Inclusions
What's Included
North-facing living wing
The main living area is positioned and glazed to face north, maximising natural light through the day rather than relying on artificial lighting.
Cross-ventilation by design
Windows placed on opposite walls of the living area allow airflow through the space, not just from a single opening.
Two genuinely separate bedrooms
Both bedrooms sized for a queen bed and built-in robe.
Energy-efficient build standard
Double-glazed windows and a high energy-efficiency build standard, with the added north-facing glazing improving passive solar performance further.

Who The Aldinga Suits
This design earns its name from orientation, not size — at roughly 65-70 sqm it's the same footprint as The Stirling, but the living wing is positioned and glazed specifically to face north, with opposite-wall window placement built into the layout for real cross-ventilation rather than a single opening. That's a genuine difference in glazing and window placement, not just a different name on the same plan.
It suits a block where the rear or northern boundary gets good sun exposure, and where natural light and airflow through the living space matter more than an extra design flourish. Like every design in the range, it pairs with any theme from the Interior Range. If orientation isn't a priority for your block, The Stirling covers the same footprint at the same price band.
FAQs
Common Questions About This Design
How is The Aldinga different from The Stirling?
Both are roughly 65-70 sqm, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom designs — the difference is orientation. Its living wing is positioned and glazed to face north with opposite-wall windows for cross-ventilation, while The Stirling doesn't assume a specific orientation.
How much does The Aldinga cost?
Indicative pricing sits in the same $185,000-$220,000 range as The Stirling before site costs, since the footprint is the same size — see our cost guide for how site conditions affect the final figure.
Does my block need to face a specific direction for this design to work?
It works best when your rear or northern boundary gets good sun exposure — this is confirmed against your specific block at the design consultation.
Can I pair this design with any interior theme?
Yes — any theme from the Interior Range pairs with this layout.
