Modern House Designs for Life in Victoria’s Capital

From vibrant inner-city living to growing outer suburbs and regional towns, Melbourne offers a wide mix of lifestyles. At Metricon Homes, we’ve been building homes for families in Australia since 1976. With decades of experience in metro Melbourne and regional Victoria, like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and Gippsland, we understand what works for local blocks, budgets, and family needs.

That’s why thoughtful design is at the heart of every modern home design we create. Our homes offer spaces that support real family life, so you can build with confidence from the very beginning.

What House Designs Suit Melbourne’s Lifestyle?

From compact block widths in new estates to wider lots in established suburbs, Metricon's house designs offer flexible floor plans, modern layouts, and smart use of space to suit families at every stage. The Vantage home design is a smart choice for narrower blocks, offering spacious family living without compromising comfort or style. Whether you're a first home buyer, upgrading to more space, or downsizing for simplicity, there’s a Metricon design made to fit your needs. The Chelsea home design is another great option for families wanting modern single-storey living that works across a range of Melbourne block sizes. Designs like the Bohemian highlight how modern layouts can adapt to different block sizes across Melbourne, also the Astoria is a perfect example of a contemporary double-storey home that blends flexibility, style, and smart use of space for Melbourne’s modern families.
