Home Designs Melbourne

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.

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.

With smart use of space and high-quality inclusions, these designs are a great starting point for aspiring homeowners building for the first time.
• Freedom by Metricon. The Freedom collection offers more space, more features, and more flexibility. Perfect for growing families, it includes a wide mix of single-storey and double-storey home designs, all with open-plan living, thoughtful zoning, and a focus on comfort.

• Designer by Metricon. Our Designer series steps things up with elevated features and house plans tailored for busy family life. These homes offer larger living spaces, more design options, and the kind of functionality that suits everything from entertaining to everyday routines. The Doulton home design is a great example, offering generous double-storey living for families who want more space and flexibility on a wider block.

These homes are designed for those wanting a truly standout family home. The La Pyrenee home design is a standout example, combining luxury, light-filled spaces, and a refined architectural feel tailored for Melbourne living.

We also offer an extensive range of specialised designs to suit more specific needs. For a stylish single-storey option that balances comfort and practicality, Mandurah by Metricon showcases how modern layouts suit everyday family life. DualOcc by Metricon is ideal for multi-generational living or investment, while our Split-Level Homes make the most of sloping, corner, and narrow blocks often found in Melbourne’s established suburbs. The Sutherland home design is a great example of a split-level layout that works beautifully on Melbourne’s sloping or irregular blocks.

If you’re staying in the location you love but want a brand-new home, our KnockDown Rebuild service gives you access to new home designs without leaving your current address. If you're rebuilding on your existing block, Santorini is a strong option for upgrading to a modern, efficient layout without leaving your neighbourhood. Bordeaux also works beautifully for knockdown rebuild projects on wider Melbourne blocks, offering plenty of space without leaving your suburb. And for those looking for low-maintenance living or smart use of space in high-demand areas, TownLiving by Metricon offers a considered range of contemporary townhomes designed for modern living and suburban lifestyles.
