Urbanedge releases second home in the Zesk range. The Zesk 002.

There’s one phrase often used to describe the Zesk – simply brilliant.
Simple because of the stylish and uncomplicated interior that embraces open plan living, natural light and an intelligent use of space to create a home of substance and attitude. Brilliant because all of this has been achieved within a two storey design ideal for fitting on a 10 metre wide block.

Its statement making tri-level facade is the first indication that the Zesk is one of a kind. Inside the experience continues, with its awe-inspiring entry punctuated by a light filled void and sweeping glass balustrade staircase.

This feeling of granduer and space flows throughout the home – the ground floor gourmet kitchen, family and dining, and indoor / outdoor alfresco united in style and impact. Upstairs the layout embraces a more relaxed tone, where an inviting casual living area opens onto two bedrooms with built in robes, large bathroom, and an indulgent parents retreat with double basin and oversized shower in the en-suite.

Burbank tackles land supply shortage with the Jameson

Burbank has today launched a brand new home design with a difference: not only is the double‐storey design suitable for a corner lot, it is also designed to suit a narrow 10 metre lot width.

Burbank managing director Jarrod Sanfilippo said the Jameson offers a perfect solution for homebuyers during a time when blocks of land are increasingly being sold at smaller lot sizes due to the land shortage across Australia.
“In an effort to cope with the shortage of land supply, the lots available to market are becoming smaller in size, so homebuyers are finding themselves with smaller parcels of land on which they can build their homes,” Mr Sanfilippo said.

“Burbank’s Jameson is perfect for these smaller lots, designed to fit on a lot only 10 metres in width. “But, just because homebuyers are purchasing smaller blocks of land, they don’t have to settle for smaller homes: the Jameson is a double‐storey design, and is available in both 26 squares and 29 squares in size.“On top of all of that, the Jameson is designed to suit corner lots that can be tricky to build on – so homebuyers don’t have to compromise on size or quality.”
