Custom Home Designs in South West Sydney

A custom design starts with a clear brief. The better you can describe your rooms, your block and the way you live, the easier it is to shape a home that fits.

Your brief

What to put in a design brief

  1. Rooms

    List the rooms you need and the ones you would like. Note which matter most if space runs short.

  2. Block

    The size, shape, slope and orientation of the land all shape a design. Note where the sun comes from and any views.

  3. Lifestyle

    How you cook, entertain, work and relax. A brief that describes a normal week tells a designer a lot.

  4. Priorities

    The two or three things you will not give up, and the things you could do without.

  5. Look and feel

    Photos of homes, kitchens or finishes you like. They help explain a style faster than words.

Talk to us about scope

Every project is different in how the design is put together. Some people come with plans already drawn, some with a rough idea, and some with only a block.

Tell us where you are up to and what you have in mind, and we can talk through how the design side of your project would work.

Common questions

I already have plans. Can we still talk?

Yes. Share what you have and we can talk through your project.

How is this different from a custom home build?

This page is about shaping the design and brief. Custom home builds covers planning and building the home itself.
