Dugan House

Dugan House is a substantial knockdown rebuild project located on a 709m² block in Deakin. Designed as a contemporary two-storey residence spanning over 400m², the home responds to both its established suburb context and the lifestyle requirements of a modern family.

The façade presents a refined architectural statement, combining bagged brickwork with natural timber elements to create texture, warmth and depth. A striking entry sequence features a dramatic double-height void, establishing a strong sense of arrival while drawing natural light deep into the centre of the home.

Internally, high ceilings to the main living areas enhance spatial comfort and openness. The floor plan has been carefully zoned to provide both connection and privacy, including a dedicated parent wing that offers separation from the secondary bedrooms and family areas. Practical elements such as an oversized garage with direct mudroom access reinforce the home’s focus on functionality and everyday ease.

The kitchen and dining spaces flow seamlessly to a generous alfresco area, creating a strong indoor–outdoor relationship ideal for entertaining. An in-ground swimming pool positioned directly off the alfresco completes the outdoor living zone, strengthening the home’s lifestyle focus and ensuring the exterior spaces are as considered as the interior.

Dugan House reflects Exceed Homes’ ability to deliver architecturally driven, large-scale family homes that balance presence, practicality and long-term liveability.
