Rural Family Living in Somerset Crafted by Dirsell Constructions
Set within the peaceful surrounds of Somerset, this completed rural family home reflects Dirsell Constructions commitment to quality, precision and considered design. Built on a unique small lot within a traditional rural setting, the project required both thoughtful planning and practical problem solving, without ever compromising on aesthetics.

Challenges Overcome
Building in a rural setting presents a unique set of challenges.
With no available sewer system, a holding tank was required on site. Careful planning ensured this essential provision did not compromise the overall design or visual appeal of the home.
Additionally, the property’s classification within a Bushfire Zone required design adjustments and material considerations to meet safety standards while preserving architectural integrity.
The team also managed the practical complexities of a small lot build in a rural environment, ensuring efficient scheduling, delivery coordination and quality control from commencement through to completion.
