About the home this two storey house design will give you:

This is a large single storey family home or lodge, easy to live in, able to accommodate a number of family or guests at any time, yet not too big for just a couple to live comfortably between those busy times when the house is full.

It combines the traditional style and comfort of a back country station house with modern features, room layout and facilities, so it can cope with a multitude of functions or be adapted for specialised purposes while remaining a welcoming family home.

Among the wide variety of house designs we offer we are sure you will find a house plan that’s right for you. If you like a floor plan or home design but some changes would make it the perfect home plan for you, we offer a custom-design service and will alter the floor plan and house design to suit your needs.

All house plans featured on this site are quality house designs by New Zealand architects.
