What to Consider When Designing Your New Home

When designing your home, it’s important to think about more than just the look of it from the street. You need to consider your living requirements, and how you’ll use the living spaces. That’s where we can help! With over 12,000 homes built in Western Australia to date, we have an abundance of knowledge and experience in smart home design. We’ll can help you choose a floor plan that meets your needs and ensure the design complies with any/all applicable council regulations.


You’ll also want to select a design that will stand the test of time. We have multiple award-winning designs to choose from, each of which can be customized to suit your needs.

Choosing the design you want

There are lots of different house designs out there to choose from, and it can be tough to decide on the right one. Consider your living requirements and which spaces in your home will get the most use. The Ross North Homes in-house design team can help you figure out the best electrical and storage layout for your needs. It’s important that your home design is functional and meets the needs of everyone who will be living there.

Council Guidelines and regulations

We offer free site assessments to help clients understand the design guidelines they need to work within. This information helps clients design a home that maximizes the use of space.

Considering the landscape design at the start

Designing your home’s landscape should be done alongside the initial design process, instead of waiting until the end and leaving no money for the garden. Gardens are a huge part of any home – not only do they add to the aesthetic, but they can also increase a home’s value.

Block size

No matter how big or small your block of land is, it’s important to use the space effectively. Our in-house design team will work with you to customize your home and will provide invaluable advice on the best use of every square metre of your new home.

Energy efficiency and sustainability

Sustainability is important to us, and so wherever possible we use materials that don’t damage the environment. This means using durable materials that won’t need to be replaced often, as well as recycled or environmentally friendly materials. Additionally, it’s important to choose appliances that use less water or electricity. We are across the very latest in solar energy efficiencies, so our team can assist you in building a new home that makes the most of the sun and can discuss any other environmentally friendly ideas that are applicable to your home design.

We take pride in our high-quality construction and attention to detail. Our homes are built to last, and we back them up with a warranty that’s second to none and have a long-standing reputation for excellence that you can rely on. Don’t wait – contact our team today and see for yourself what sets Ross North Homes apart from the rest.
