Tailor-made for young families and second-home buyers in search of additional space, the award-winning Huntley 30 ticks every box. It offers flexible living and adaptable spaces, is ideal for entertaining, and allows every family member the room they need to do their own thing without treading on each other’s toes. Not only did Rawson Homes design the Huntley 30 with the lifestyle needs of the modern family in mind, it was designed especially for smaller, narrower, modern-day blocks. While this home is perfect for a 13.5m-wide narrow block, it still manages to provide an abundance of interior space across its two cleverly designed floors.

At Rawson Homes, the design process for each home is very considered. This ensures that each element is rigorously reviewed before a design is finalised. This design needed to be big on space, functionality and flexibility — and it needed to have architectural flair so that it would stand out from other homes. The Huntley 30 offers a variety of flexible living spaces that cater to all moods, needs and wants. You have the opportunity to enjoy some quiet alone time or join in fun family activities. The larger living space at the rear of the house, which encompasses the dining and family zones, is designed to take full advantage of the outdoor living area. The inviting covered alfresco is accessed via the family room and is connected to the kitchen via a wide servery window.

When you’re in the light and airy kitchen you can easily interact with all the downstairs living spaces, both interior and exterior. You also have everything you need for daily cooking or entertaining, including a large butler’s pantry. Because of its well-considered design, the kitchen makes preparing meals, cooking and cleaning up a breeze.
The four bedrooms are upstairs, as is a rumpus room. The three minor bedrooms are serviced by a beautiful family bathroom, complete with a deep bathtub. To the rear of the second floor you will find the master suite with its spacious walk-in robe and well-appointed ensuite. If a guest room or fifth bedroom is needed, this can replace the downstairs rumpus room. As you can see, space for all was the motto when designing the Huntley 30.

As with all designs from Rawson Homes, various elements can be adapted according to each family’s needs, to better accommodate flexible living needs among families who choose the home. From the beginning, experienced new-home consultants sit down with each client and discuss their specific requirements, after which certain variations can be made to ensure the end result suits the family’s needs not just now, but also well into the future.

The latest achievement continues a long winning streak of industry recognition for Rawson Homes who have received awards annually at the MBA Excellence in Housing Awards since 2008.

Rawson’s “Harrington 28” display home won its category as the best display home priced from $400,001 to $500,000 while its Chifley 37 MKII display home won the $500,001-$600,000 category.

Harrington 28

The stunning ‘Harrington 28’ home design in Denham Court, Willowdale, is an adaptable home with an intelligent design that is versatile enough to appeal to all home owners in various stages of their lives.

If you love spending time at home with family but also want your home to make a lasting impression on friends, the Harrington design is the complete package, bursting with natural light in its combined alfresco and entertaining space.

The Harrington 28 is best suited to narrow lots, designed to fit on a 10.37m-wide standard lot or a 9.6-wide zero lot size. The design includes a rumpus room, large walk-in kitchen pantry and parent’s retreat.

Chifley 37 MKII

Rawson’s beautiful Chifley 37 MKII home in Thornton got the nod from judges as an upmarket design offering.

The Chifley combines architectural finesse with function and style, providing a home with clever use of space that addresses all the needs of the modern family.

This spacious two-storey home design with seamless inside and outside areas offers large bedrooms and bathrooms without the need for a big budget.

Grace 24

The Grace is a home offering contemporary style developed with family living in mind. The home design boasts abundant space for entertaining and spending quality time with your family.

The Grace is a 24 square-metre home loaded with open space and smarts. Like the Harrington 28, Grace 24 is designed to cater for smaller lot sizes, while maximising the floor plan. Cleverly situated storage spaces are located throughout the home, which also features multiple nooks to relax and unwind in and a double garage.

When we come home at the end of a long, hard day, we want to shut the door behind us and relax — and with the Metford, that couldn’t be easier. “This contemporary single-storey home, which boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, provides fuss-free living, responding to the modern family’s need for an easy-care, low-maintenance lifestyle,” says Levi Naas, head of innovation for Rawson Homes.

The Metford, with its open and versatile floor plan, was designed according to the Livable Housing Guidelines, which means comfortable and easier access for everyone including young children and the less abled. In following the guidelines, Rawson Homes maximised every square metre, creating a floor plan that provides ample space for relaxed everyday living.

“This is a masterful design filled with light and open spaces, which forges an easy connection between the lounge, family, kitchen and alfresco areas. In fact, the Metford has a range of inviting indoor and outdoor spaces designed to entertain guests and delight the entire family,” says Levi.

“The well-considered palette of colours and materials used is modern yet classic, which means the look will never date. The interior design features are elegantly simple and there is a strong emphasis on natural elements and colours. A well-designed home in a class of its own, this stylish single-storey home, with its neutral tones and great use of natural light, really is a lesson in pared-back elegance and timeless design.”

As with all designs from Rawson Homes, certain elements can be adapted according to each family’s needs. From the beginning, experienced staff members sit down with each client and discuss their specific requirements, after which variations can be made (whether its room size or orientation) to ensure that the end result suits the family’s needs not just now, but also well into the future.

An effective display home showcases to potential homeowners the possibilities that lay before them. Yes, a display home presents options for layout, customisable elements, fixtures and fittings, but it also enables viewers to understand and experience how their lifestyles could change, too. Visiting a display home explores the idea that a lifestyle could be improved with a more logical layout, versatile customisations and fixtures and fittings that make coming home after a long day’s work a pleasure and never a chore. This beautiful display home from Rawson Homes does all of those things. It presents a lifestyle that is contemporary, fun and sophisticated, yet also functional. There are some striking elements found here that make it desirable, such as the attention to detail, the nod to contemporary living and its spacious, open-plan feel.

The brief for the home was to create a double-storey abode with a double garage to fit a 10m-wide block. Other essentials included ensuring that the home could accommodate extended family or in-laws by including a separate bedroom and living space downstairs. “We also wanted to push standard design boundaries with an ultra-modern façade that creates real kerb appeal,” explains Levi Naas of Rawson Homes.

“We also wanted to push standard design boundaries with an ultra-modern façade that creates real kerb appeal.”

“It was about making a first impression. We wanted a sleek structure, render, timber and aluminium with contemporary colours,” says Levi.

Although the home has a very specific aesthetic, it is well suited to a large number of homeowners. It has some exciting customisable options, meaning that homeowners who invest in a similar style home will benefit from the abode now and into the future.

“This home would suit families in all stages of life,” explains Levi. “From young couples just starting out who want space for their parents to stay when helping out with kids, to families with older teenage kids who just want their own private space, and families who have multiple generations living under the same roof. This home will grow with you and with a number of floor plan options to choose from, it really does cater to the needs of all.”

The contemporary finishes extend to the interior of the property as well, showcasing a beautiful contrast between timber-look floorings and cabinetry, and black-framed windows and doors. The clever and functional positioning of the windows throughout the home is worth noting. For example, the innovative placement of the windows in the bathroom — above and below the vanity — flood the room with light but provide optimal privacy.

This display home eloquently showcases what is possible in a new home, and the possibilities are plentiful. Should homeowners want to customise certain elements, this is something that Rawson Homes is well equipped to deal with.

“Clients are encouraged to sit with one of our experienced home consultants at the very beginning of the process,” explains Levi, “and spend time going through the plan they have chosen and then adapt it to suit their particular needs, life stage and lifestyle requirements. Common changes include room sizes, home orientation, windows and internal doors, additional rooms and increasing of living areas, to name a few.”
