Home designs Sunshine Coast

Looking for a local Sunshine Coast builder? There are a variety of home designs out there, but what’s the right one for your brand new home? Today, we’re having a look at the home designs that are available on the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast is famous for its beaches and natural attractions, while still being only an hour’s drive from Brisbane.

When it comes to choosing the right home design for your dream home, there are a few factors to consider. First, your lifestyle and needs. You may need to go to the city for work, but also want to be close to the beach for weekends. Or perhaps you want to raise your family in a more rural area. Second, the block of land you’re working with. The good news is that with a little creative thinking, you might just be able to get a bigger house on your land than you’d expect. The third is how much can you afford. While it may be tempting to throw caution in the wind and worry about money later, having an idea of your budget will help avoid disasters down the track.

Sunshine Coast Home Designs by Style

Luxury Home Designs

These are very individual properties, with unique features, and they have a higher price tag (even more so if they’re being built in one of the Sunshine Coast’s waterfront areas). Features that make a luxury home include greater square footage, luxe amenities and features, premium materials, sculpted lots, prime locations, and beautiful surroundings and views.

Knock Down Rebuild

With great locations becoming harder to come by, knock-down rebuilds are becoming a more popular option among new home builders. Most builders offer a knockdown rebuild service, however here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You’ll most likely have to organise the demolition yourself.
• Organisation is key to a smooth building process. There are more steps in a knockdown rebuild meaning there are more chances for delays. Make sure things like paperwork and permits are submitted by the correct date to avoid delays.
• Make sure the home you’re planning to knock down isn’t heritage listed.

Hampton Home Designs

The Hamptons look comes from the luxury, holiday homes from upper New York. It has become a popular look in Australia, being found everywhere from the suburbs to the countryside. Some of the trademarks of a Hamptons home includes pointed roofs, verandahs, open plan living, light colours, and

Due to the popularity of the design, most builders in Australia offer a Hamptons design/facade option. Some builders even boast it as one of their specialties so you won’t be short on choices.

Narrow block home designs

With blocks getting smaller, it’s definitely worth looking into narrow lot blocks. Typically, any design under 12m in house width. If you’re looking to live in the city, odds are you’ll only have smaller blocks of land available.

Pros:

• Could save you money. A small block of land with the right home design could end up cheaper than buying a larger lot.
• If you decide on a smaller house, there will be less upkeep.

Cons:

• Smaller lots are often in very expensive suburbs. You may want to weigh up if you’re getting your money’s worth.
• House can feel cramped without some clever design choices, like open plan living, multiple storeys, etc.

Split Level Home Designs

A Split Level Homes design could be a great solution for anyone who is working with an uneven lot. Split level houses are designed to take full advantage of sloping blocks and accommodate uneven land through the use of a split level home design. Split level homes have at least three separate levels, usually with a staircase connecting each area.
