Its clever mirrored design gives each residence two bedrooms, two living areas, a private ensuite and an alfresco, all while making smart use of the block.

More from your land without either home feeling like less.

Volume builder vs local builder – which is right for you? 🏡

Volume builders typically build a higher number of homes using a more standardised range of designs, inclusions and processes. This can be a good fit for buyers looking for a straightforward building option with fewer design changes.

As a local builder, we take a different approach.

We keep our build numbers manageable so we can stay closely involved in every home we build, offer greater flexibility and provide a more personalised building experience from start to finish.

You’ll have a local team who knows the area and is involved throughout your build, while still benefiting from the home designs, resources and support of the Hotondo Homes national network.

If flexibility, personal service and having a local team closely involved in your build matter to you, talk to us about creating your new home because choosing your builder is the biggest decision you will make before your new home journey even begins. 🏡

A great home starts with the right floor plan. 🏡

When you’re building a new home, it’s easy to get caught up in choosing colours, finishes and fixtures, but your floor plan is what shapes how you’ll actually live in your home every day.

Here are three things to consider when choosing your design:

🚗 Think about your daily routine - How will you move through the home? Consider everything from bringing groceries in from the garage to keeping an eye on the kids while you’re cooking.

🌱 Plan for the future - Think about how your needs might change, whether that’s a growing family, working from home or simply needing more space.

☀️ Consider natural light - The orientation of your home on your block can make a big difference to the light in your living spaces.

Not sure which floor plan is right for you? Talk to our team and we’ll help you find a design that suits your lifestyle, block and future plans.
