Two-Storey Plans to Maximise Space and Views

This contemporary, striking, roomy and ultra-luxurious two-level design features the living area and master suite downstairs, and family bedrooms upstairs.

The Kano boasts a spectacular kitchen and well-appointed scullery, which will thrill even the most discerning entertainer. A spacious open-plan living opens to alfresco entertaining on two sides, a separate media room and generous master bedroom suite (with a luxurious ensuite and dressing room, to rival an elite hotel!) Family accommodation occupies the upper level, with a further three double bedrooms, study nook, and bathroom.

The Omokoroa is inspired by the coastal feel of a Hamptons home – and is an entertainer’s dream.

With high-pitched ceilings every design feature both inside and out is accentuated to create a crisp, light, elegant look. With a long, wide open plan living, dining and kitchen area, the high pitch and sloping ceilings immediately make a statement. Step out through the floor to ceiling double sliding doors onto the covered portico, perfect for capturing those views.

This two-level modern home features an open plan living, dining and kitchen upstairs, along with a guest powder room, and the master suite – so if you’ve got a beautiful view to capture, this plan might be for you!

Downstairs houses extra bedrooms, a bathroom, internal access to the garage and laundry, and plenty of storage under the stairs. Plus, a built-in lift-well futureproofs the house. Life will feel easy in this spacious family retreat.

With 5 bedrooms in total, the Forte design is two homes in one – a 3-bedroom home and a 2-bedroom adjoining unit, perfectly designed for extended family living, or for anyone wanting to make extra income from short-term or permanent rental.

The main dwelling features open plan living, three good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom plus a powder room and plenty of storage. The secondary adjacent unit has 2 spacious bedrooms and an open plan living area including the kitchen and dining area.

This plan is a perfect, yet versatile family home for those that may wish to offer short-term rental accommodation for extra income, or house family.

The guest bedrooms are separated from the master suite by the centrally positioned open plan great room. This wing can be closed off from the main living area with paying guests having direct access to each bedroom from outside, and a central bathroom provides the amenities required for a short-term stay.

In this cleverly-designed home there are two fully self-contained houses under one roof – a 3 bedroom main home, and a 1 bedroom secondary unit.

The dwellings are separated by their garages – offering each home privacy and sound reduction. Each house has open plan areas for living, dining, kitchen, and internal access to the garage and laundry.

Perfect for narrow sections, this plan was designed with relaxed living in mind.

This contemporary 4 bedroom family home has a spacious open plan kitchen, living and dining, with multiple access options to the outdoors for that iconic kiwi lifestyle – and a fabulous outdoor dining ‘room’ adjacent to the kitchen, with the master bedroom beyond it.

A classic Central Otago pavilion style home, perfect for a long narrow site.

The Glendhu design has a compact footprint and is designed for family living. A spacious open plan great room incorporates kitchen, dining and living opening out to an alfresco dining area. The master suite features a large walk-in robe and ensuite, for a little bit of luxe, and 3 family bedrooms and bathroom complete the layout.

Sloping site? This is for you. This contemporary mono-pitch design is an ideal floor plan for taming an awkward site without compromising on style!

At the rear, seamless access from the open plan living and separate lounge opens to the outdoors, perfect for entertaining family and friends, or maximising any views. The master bedroom also enjoys this access to the outdoors. With its weatherboard cladding, this home will make a statement in any street.
