What Makes a Good Home Design?

A good home design blends style and function to create spaces that feel right for the way you live. And that’s exactly what we focus on at Metricon Homes. With decades of experience in Queensland, we design homes that suit the local lifestyle. That means open-plan living zones, breezy outdoor areas, and smart layouts built for comfort and connection.

But a great home design is only part of the story, how your home is built matters just as much. In Queensland, every Metricon home is built by licensed professionals under a QBCC licence, so the quality behind the design carries through to every part of the build.

Which Metricon Home Designs Work Best for Queensland Living?

Metricon offers quality home designs tailored to the vibrant lifestyle and diverse landscapes of Queensland. From the sunny beaches of the Gold Coast to the bustling cityscapes of Brisbane, our homes blend Australian architectural elements with functional elegance.

No matter your land size or goal, the Metricon Range has smart, functional layouts that maximise space, value, and liveability.

How Do I Choose the Right Home Design for My Land?

Choosing the right home design starts with understanding your block. Whether you're downsizing in Ipswich or building on a new lot in Ascot, the shape and size of your land will help guide key decisions, like whether to go for a single-storey or double-storey home, and how to make the most of the space you have.

  • Lot Width and Location: Start by looking at the width and shape of your block. Assess the width and shape of your block to determine whether a single-storey home like the Ella or double-storey home such as the Fintona best maximises your space. A narrow lot might suit a double-storey home to maximise space, while a wider block could give you more flexibility with a single-storey house and outdoor areas.
  • Family Needs: Think about how you live day to day. Do you need extra bedrooms, a second living area, a bigger kitchen, or room to grow? The right design should support your lifestyle now and into the future.
  • Design Preferences: This is where your personal style comes in. From open-plan living to alfresco areas, Hamptons-style to modern façade options, your home should reflect what feels right for you and work with how you want to use each space.

Let our team work with you to make sure your dream home fits your needs, your block, and the way you live. From layout options to façade choices and landscaping advice, we’ll help bring everything together so your new home in Queensland feels just right.
