We build homes across the Greater Sydney area to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, with layouts and features that promote comfort, safety, and convenience. Family homes come in different types and sizes, catering to families at various stages of life and varying budgets.

Crafting Comfortable and Functional Family Homes

Modern home designs at Better Built Homes are guided by our BETTER by Design Studio. Whether you’re creating your first or forever home, our design studio can meet your needs and desires in one place. A whole new, better-built solution created from the bottom up to assist our customers in selecting internal and external colours for their new house.

01. Layout 

We create open floor plans, private bedroom areas, and dedicated spaces for work or play to promote comfortable living for all family members while encouraging togetherness and providing personal spaces. Additionally, we carefully consider zoning to create separate areas for various family activities, ensuring a balanced living environment that caters to everyone’s needs.

02. Zoning 

Divide your home into separate zones for various family activities, such as a quiet zone for relaxation and an active area for play or entertaining, to cater to the different needs of family members and provide a balanced living environment. A balanced, harmonious living environment for all family members is vital for double-family homes.

03. Functionality 

Our designs focus on everyday living, with practical and user-friendly kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. We consider lines of sight for supervising children, accessibility for all ages, and efficient use of space. Moreover, we pay close attention to circulation, designing hallways and pathways that connect areas without compromising privacy or functionality.

04. Materials 

At Better Built Homes, we prioritise durability, low maintenance, and eco-friendliness. Our team of experts carefully selects materials such as flooring, cabinetry, and countertops to ensure longevity and minimal environmental impact while also considering aesthetics and ease of maintenance.

05. Storage 

We integrate ample storage solutions throughout the home to help families keep their living spaces organised and clutter-free, ensure that toys and other items can be easily tidied away, and create a friendly environment for kids and adults.

06. Connection to the outdoors 

Design your family home with a solid connection to outdoor spaces, allowing for a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas and enhancing the overall sense of freedom and well-being.

07. Natural Light and Ventilation 

We understand the crucial role of natural light and proper ventilation in creating a healthy and comfortable living environment. Our designs carefully consider window placements, skylights, and strategic openings to maximise daylight and air circulation, resulting in an uplifting atmosphere and improved energy efficiency.

08. Privacy 

We recognise the importance of separate spaces for family members to spend time away from each other, such as a study, den, or adaptable bedrooms. We design spaces with flexibility in mind, ensuring that rooms can adapt to a family’s changing needs over time.

At Better Built Homes, our fundamental principles are the foundation of our family home designs, ensuring that every aspect of our creations aligns with the needs and preferences of modern families. Using our BETTER by Design Studio, these principles guide us in crafting homes that are not only visually appealing but also cater to the functional requirements of everyday living. 

By adhering to our core values, we consistently deliver homes that promote comfort, practicality, and adaptability while prioritising the well-being of our clients and the environment. This steadfast commitment to our principles sets Better Built Homes apart as we strive to create living spaces that nourish the soul and stand the test of time.

Embracing Modern Family Home Design Trends

At Better Built Homes, we stay ahead of the curve by incorporating the latest in modern family home design trends in our creations, such as

01. Open-concept Living Spaces 

This design trend creates a seamless flow between the kitchen, living, and dining areas, promoting togetherness and social interaction. An open-concept living space can also make your home feel more spacious and inviting, allowing natural light to flow through the entire area.

02. Design With Foresight

We create spaces that can adapt as children grow older and consider how furniture pieces can last while other decorative items can be updated. By designing with the future in mind, you can save money and avoid major renovations down the road.

03.Smart Home Technology

Our homes are equipped with modern technology for automation, energy efficiency, and enhanced security. From voice-activated assistants to smart thermostats, we incorporate the latest technology into our designs to provide a more comfortable and convenient living experience.

04. Luxury Inclusions

Designed with affordability in mind while maintaining our high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout your home, our inclusions include all the premium fixtures and fittings that most builders call “extras”. Our luxury inclusions offer families the opportunity to live in a high-quality, luxurious home at an affordable price.

05. Eco-friendly Home Design

We incorporate sustainable materials and energy-saving features, such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems, to reduce environmental impact and save on energy bills. Building an energy-efficient home as a design trend also means saving big on power bills, giving you more money for those family expenses. We understand the importance of preserving the environment and strive to make our homes eco-friendly.

06. Pet-Friendly Features

We consider your pets’ needs in our designs, accommodating where they will eat, sleep, and store their belongings and their access to the house when you’re not there. Installing a dog wash station at home, for example, can eliminate the need to travel to a pet grooming facility to wash your pet, making it more convenient and time-efficient. We believe that pets are part of the family and strive to make our homes pet-friendly.

By embracing modern family home design trends, we can create functional and stylish homes that reflect modern families’ needs and preferences. At Better Built Homes, we are committed to providing our clients with the best possible living experience by incorporating the latest trends and technologies into our designs.
