Home Designs Southern NSW

Building a new home in Southern NSW isn’t just about finding a design you love. It’s about choosing a home builder who understands the land, the lifestyle, and what families in this region actually need.

As one of Australia’s leading home builders since 1976, this is exactly what Metricon Homes does. From the Illawarra to the South Coast and out to Goulburn, we’ve worked with thousands of families to create homes that make the most of their block and budget. Our house designs in Southern NSW feature flexible floor plans, smart use of space, and options for blocks of all sizes. With a wide range of home designs available, there’s something to suit every lifestyle, budget, and stage of life.

Life in Southern NSW looks a little different for everyone. That’s why our home designs are made to suit all kinds of families, blocks, and budgets. From coastal living to country lots, we’ve created collections that make it easier to build a home that truly works for you.

• HomeSolution by Metricon: Perfect for first home buyers, HomeSolution offers affordable new home designs that don’t cut corners. These light-filled houses come with quality home inclusions, efficient layouts, and the confidence of building with an experienced Australian builder. If you're just starting your home building journey, this range is a great place to begin.
• Freedom by Metricon: Designed for growing families, our Freedom homes give you more room without pushing the budget. These single- and double-storey home designs feature open-plan living spaces, extra storage, and layouts that adapt as your needs change. They’re a smart choice for those wanting more flexibility. The Atessa home design is a great example of a Freedom series home — with open-plan living, generous bedrooms, and smart zoning for growing families. Also, the Fintona home design brings that flexibility to life, combining space, style, and practicality for everyday living.
• Designer by Metricon: Our Designer homes offer larger house plans, modern facades, and upgraded features throughout. With generous living zones, room to entertain, and plenty of space to grow, this range works well for families who want a bit more from their new home build. Homes like the Bayville, Bordeaux, and Harrington showcase how thoughtful design and architectural detail come together to suit Southern NSW living. The Lawson home design also stands out for its contemporary façade and functional flow — ideal for modern family life.
• Signature by Metricon: Our Signature home range is where high-end design meets personalisation. This is your opportunity to work closely with our interior designers and interior design consultants to create a home that reflects your vision, your block of land, and your lifestyle. From premium upgrades to tailored layouts, Signature gives you complete control over the building process. The La Pyrenee, Lucent, and Lumiere designs are perfect examples — spacious, bright, and finished with the kind of luxury touches that define our Signature range.

Metricon Homes also offers solutions for more specific block types and living arrangements. For those with larger rural blocks or open landscapes, our Acreage Collection features expansive layouts built to maximise space and connect indoor and outdoor living. The Merricks home design is designed exactly for that — open, flowing, and made to capture the beauty of acreage living.

Sloping, narrow, or corner blocks aren’t a challenge either. Our split-level homes follow the natural shape of your block, creating better flow, more light, and often even better views. Designs like the Astoria home design also make the most of natural light and balance open spaces with practical family areas. And if you’re looking to support extended family or want to make your land work harder, our DualOcc homes offer dual occupancy on one block. They’re ideal for adding a duplex or granny flat, creating extra space without compromising on privacy or quality. For a modern look that works beautifully on a range of block types, explore the Riva home design, a double-storey plan made for comfort and connection.

There’s only so much a floor plan can tell you. Seeing a display home in person lets you experience how the space actually works, how the light moves through the rooms, and how an open plan layout really feels.

Our display homes across Southern New South Wales are designed to give you a real sense of what it’s like to live in a Metricon home. Explore the Sutherland home design online or in person to experience how its smart split-level design brings style and practicality together. You can also explore the Highlander home design online to see how its generous living zones and family-focused layout come together in real life. From the smart flow of a compact layout to the generous proportions of a growing family home, you’ll see firsthand how our energy-efficient designs suit a variety of blocks, styles, and budgets.

You’ll also find a mix of interior styles on show, including Hamptons-inspired details and popular facades like Avalon, Metro, and Riviera. Whether you're drawn to something classic or more contemporary, visiting our display centres gives you a better feel for the finishes, inclusions, and upgrades, plus the difference they make.

If you can’t visit in person, many of our most popular designs are available to view online. Take a 3D virtual tour anytime and get a closer look at the way our spaces come together.

Finding the right block is just as important as choosing the right home design. Our house & land packages in Southern NSW bring both together in one smart, stress-free solution, helping you avoid the guesswork and get on with building your new house.

Each package is matched to suit the lot width, home size, and overall layout of the block. Whether you're after a compact design, room for the kids to grow, or something a little more flexible, we’ll help you find the right fit. You’ll also save time in the building process, with approvals, plans, and site checks already underway.

For many families in Southern NSW, a house & land package is a simpler way to move forward, whether you're buying your first home, upsizing, or looking for a fresh start. But if you already own a block with an older home on it, our KnockDown Rebuild service lets you replace it with the perfect home designed to suit your lifestyle now and in the future.

Southern NSW isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are our home designs. From two-storey house and single-storey home designs for growing families, to narrow block home designs in built-up areas and acreage home designs for those with more space to work with, our range is built around real land and real lifestyles.

With Metricon Homes, you get an award-winning builder that understands the region, the planning requirements, and how to create a home that works now and into the future. Enquire today and start your building experience with a team that knows how to get it right, on your block, on your budget, and on your terms.
