For many first home buyers, the search for the right home starts the same way. Saving screenshots of kitchens, comparing floorplans late at night and imagining what everyday life could look like in a space of your own.
But beyond the finishes and styling inspiration, what people are really looking for is a home that works for the way they live. Somewhere practical, comfortable and flexible enough to grow alongside them.
That’s one of the reasons HomeSolution by Metricon continues to resonate with first home buyers across Australia. The range combines smart layouts, contemporary style and thoughtful functionality, offering homes that feel aspirational while still grounded in everyday living.
From compact single-storey homes to spacious family-friendly designs, these are some of the most popular HomeSolution by Metricon homes buyers continue to come back to.
Callula
The Callula has become a favourite for buyers looking for a home that feels welcoming, functional and easy to live in from day one.
Available in two floorplan variations, the design centres around open-plan living, with the kitchen, dining and family areas creating a natural hub for everyday life. Whether it’s busy weekday mornings or slow Sunday afternoons, the layout is designed to bring people together comfortably.
The separation between the master suite and secondary bedrooms also gives the home a sense of balance, particularly for young families wanting both connection and privacy.
Depending on the floorplan selected, buyers can also tailor spaces to suit their lifestyle, whether that means a larger living area, a more spacious ensuite or an undercover outdoor room for entertaining.
Lawson
Need a little more room to grow? The Lawson delivers flexibility for growing families, work-from-home lifestyles or buyers planning ahead.
Available in a 20 and 22 square iteration, this four-bedroom design offers two distinct layouts to suit different lifestyles. The Lawson 20 includes a dedicated study, while the Lawson 22 adds a second living area, ideal for teenagers or relaxed family living.
Both designs feature a generous master suite with a large walk-in robe and private ensuite, while the Lawson 22 also includes an outdoor room for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Personalise the design further with options including raked ceilings, an expanded kitchen layout or replacing a bedroom with a rumpus room.
Alka
For buyers wanting space, versatility and future flexibility, the Alka range offers something for every stage of family life.
This popular double-storey design is available in three floorplans, ranging from the Alka 23 through to the spacious Alka 34.
The Alka 23 features four bedrooms, open-plan living and a downstairs study, while the Alka 27 adds an upstairs rumpus room for extra living space. Need more room? The Alka 34 expands to six bedrooms for larger families.
There’s also plenty of opportunity to personalise your home with options such as a butler’s pantry, larger outdoor entertaining areas or an upgraded master suite.
Seaton
The Seaton is ideal for first home buyers wanting generous living spaces and flexible floorplans.
Available in three different layouts, every Seaton design includes four bedrooms, three living zones and a double garage, offering exceptional value for growing families.
Depending on your preferred layout, you can choose to expand the kitchen and butler’s pantry, add raked ceilings or create a larger outdoor entertaining area. The Seaton 23 and Seaton 28 also offer the option of a fifth bedroom for even greater flexibility.
It’s a home designed to adapt with your lifestyle.
Malin
Compact, contemporary and cleverly designed, the three-bedroom Malin is perfect for first home buyers looking for a low-maintenance home without sacrificing style.
With a streamlined floorplan, modern open-plan living and a single garage, the Malin delivers affordable living with all the essentials thoughtfully considered.
