Home Designs Northern NSW

There’s something special about life in Northern New South Wales. The fresh coastal air, open green spaces, and relaxed pace make it an ideal place to raise a family, settle down, or start something new. From the beaches of Ballina and Tweed Heads to the hinterlands of Lismore and the Northern Rivers, more Australians are choosing to build their dream home in the north coast region. Here at Metricon Homes, we understand exactly why.

We’ve been helping families build new homes across New South Wales since 1976. Over the years, we’ve shaped energy-efficient house designs that suit the way people live in this part of the country. From affordable starter homes to luxury acreage designs, our collections offer something for every stage of life.

We know that every homeowner has different needs, budgets, and plans for the future. That’s why our award-winning home designs are built with flexibility in mind, helping you find the right fit for your block, your family, and your lifestyle.

Here’s what you can expect from our home collections:

• HomeSolution by Metricon. If you’re a first-home buyer, HomeSolution is a great place to start. These designs are simple, smart, and affordable, with everything you need to feel confident about building. You’ll get quality finishes, functional layouts with lots of natural light, and a brand-new home you’ll be proud to call your own.
• Freedom by Metricon. Our Freedom homes give growing families the space they need to live comfortably without stretching the budget. These designs include open-plan kitchens and light-filled living areas, plenty of storage, and flexible layouts that adapt as your needs change.
• Designer by Metricon. Want more living space, more style, and more flexibility? Our Designer range offers generous floor plans, extra living zones, and a choice of modern facades. With upgraded inclusions and thoughtful touches throughout, these homes are built for entertaining, relaxing, and everything in between.
• Signature by Metricon. Our Signature collection is where personalisation meets premium living. If you have a clear vision for your dream home, this range gives you the freedom to bring it to life. Work closely with our team to customise the layout, choose high-end inclusions, and create something truly one-of-a-kind.

We also offer designs that suit a wide range of blocks across Northern NSW. If you’ve got a large block of land in regions like the Northern Rivers or the Hunter region, our Acreage Collection makes the most of wide-open space. With expansive layouts and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, these acreage home designs are perfect for relaxed, rural living.

Building on a split-level, corner, or narrow block? We have home designs that make the most of the land, often giving you more space and better views. That’s a strong fit for areas like Maitland and Newcastle.
Every Metricon design is created by experienced new home builders who understand the Australian lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a simple single-storey home design, a modern double-storey home, or something more tailored like a duplex or granny flat, we’re here to help you build a home that truly fits.

Nothing beats walking through a home to see how it really feels. Visiting our display homes in Northern NSW gives you a sense of the space, layout, and finishes, and how your new home design might take shape.

While you’re there, chat with a home consultant about personalising your design. Whether you’re thinking about upgrades, interior design options, or even landscaping ideas, we’ll guide you through what’s possible. We can also take you through house plans, talk you through the building process, and help you make sense of what suits your block, lifestyle, and budget.

Can’t make it in person? Many of our most popular home designs are available to view online through interactive 3D virtual tours, so you can explore from wherever you are.
