Are you dreaming of a new home in Australia, but you're working with a smaller block of land? Don't worry; you're not alone. Many homeowners are opting for small house designs to maximise their living space while maintaining functionality and style.

At Metricon, we’ve got the perfect smart solutions for small spaces, including small house floor plans and innovative home design ideas. Whether you're downsizing, looking for a family home, or considering a granny flat, we've got you covered with small home designs that suit the Australian lifestyle.

The Appeal of Small Home Designs

As the cost of land and the demand for urban living rise, homeowners are rethinking traditional house sizes. As a result, small house designs are becoming increasingly popular in Australia.

Some of the advantages of opting for a smaller-scale home are:

  • Affordability: One of the most significant advantages of small house designs is their affordability. They often require less construction materials, resulting in lower costs for both building and maintenance. This makes them an attractive option for first-time home buyers and those looking to downsize.

  • Sustainability: Small homes have a smaller ecological footprint. With reduced square footage, they consume fewer resources for heating, cooling, and overall maintenance. This eco-friendly aspect appeals to those who are conscious of their environmental impact.

  • Efficient Use of Space: Small home designs prioritise efficient use of space. Carefully crafted floor plans maximise living space without unnecessary waste. This can lead to a more comfortable and functional living environment.

  • Lower Utility Bills: Smaller homes are easier to heat and cool, resulting in lower energy bills. With Australia's varying climate, this can be a significant cost-saving factor.

  • Quick Construction: Due to their smaller size, small houses can often be built more quickly than larger homes, allowing homeowners to move in sooner.

We've got what you need

Whether you want to downsize or are looking to make the most out of your small block of land, we’ve got lots of small home designs for you to choose from:

Two-Storey Small Homes

Leveraging vertical space, two-storey small houses maximise living area on smaller lots.

Single-Storey Small Homes

Designed for accessibility and convenience, single-storey small homes are an excellent choice for those planning to age in place.

Narrow Block Homes
