Home styles - i. The original
Steep gables. Dormer windows. Church-like timber volume.
The style that founded Storybook in 1990 - and the one Phil and Siri have lived in for almost 27 years.
The signature elements
Energy-rating and regulation changes make the cottage more involved to build than it once was - but if you love the look, Storybook still designs it, working with carpenters experienced in supported-ridge roof construction.
At home in its landscape
The steep silhouette belongs among trees - which is why cottages thrive on established and sloping blocks where boxy homes look lost.
