About
Bush Lodge is a two-bedroom modern granny flat created for Jane, nestled discreetly within a leafy Gold Coast property.
This thoughtfully designed small home balances independence, comfort, and close family connection to her family.
Custom-designed to suit her lifestyle now and into the future, the dwelling is a refined example of how smart design can elevate compact living.
Jane wanted a contemporary home with clean lines, a sleek low-pitch roof and generous openings that invite light, breezes, and garden views into the home.
Large sliding doors and windows blur the line between indoors and out, opening onto covered and uncovered decks that extend the living space and encourage year-round outdoor enjoyment.
A subtle pergola and timber detailing add warmth and character while helping the building sit naturally within its lush surroundings.
Inside, the 80m2 layout has been carefully planned to feel spacious and intuitive, and adheres to Gold Coast City Council regulations.
Raked ceilings throughout the main living areas create a sense of volume and airiness, while the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone forms the heart of the home—perfect for relaxed daily living or hosting family.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility, both boasting direct access to ensuites designed for comfort and ease of use.
Liveability is at the core of this design. Easy access from the carport and along the pedestrian paths will ensure safe and dignified movement for anyone living in the home well into the future.
Wide doorways, hobless showers, and thoughtful circulation all comply with Liveable Housing Standards, supporting aging in place without compromising style.
Integrated storage, efficient appliances, excellent natural ventilation, and strong indoor-outdoor connections further enhance day-to-day comfort.
The result is a warm, practical, and future-ready home—one that gives Jane her own peaceful retreat while remaining closely connected to family life on the Gold Coast.
