Key Benefits of Single-Storey Homes

Aside from their functionality, single-storey home designs offer several advantages for Australian families, such as:

Ease of Accessibility

One of the best things about single-level homes is the ease of access. There are no stairs to climb, making it perfect for family living. This design is also ideal for first-home buyers who may expand their families in the future.

Open Living Spaces

Single-storey house plans often feature open living spaces. This design allows for a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, perfect for modern living.

Peace of Mind

One of the best things about single-storey house designs is the peace of mind they offer. With fewer complications in the building process and a range of inclusions, you can focus on the joys of family living.

Single Storey Home Design Tips to Create Your Perfect Home

Choose the Right Floor Plans

From acreage home designs to narrow block plans, single-storey designs offer a lot of flexibility in terms of floor plans. You can even opt for a granny flat for extra space. The key is to choose a plan that suits your lifestyle and lot width.

Optimise Lot Width

The width of your land can greatly influence your house design. For narrow blocks, look for designs that maximise space without compromising on comfort. If you have a wider lot, you have more freedom to include additional features like a granny flat or even some landscaping features.

Prioritise Natural Light

One of the joys of single-storey homes is the ability to let in a lot of natural light. Work with your home builders to position windows and sliding doors in a way that maximises sunlight, making your living spaces bright and welcoming.

Choose the Right Inclusions

Inclusions can make or break the feel of a home. From the type of tiles in your bathroom to the kitchen benchtop, every little detail counts. Take a 3D virtual tour of our display homes, or check out our different ranges to get a sense of what inclusions resonate with you and will complement your interior design theme.

Plan for Future Needs

While it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of new home designs, don't forget to plan for the future. A potential family expansion or a home office addition may require you to upgrade to a double-storey home. Make sure to include provisions for such in your floor plan.
