With extensive experience across Melbourne’s eastern and north-eastern suburbs, we understand the local landscape, climate, and architectural preferences.

WHY CHOOSE A CUSTOM NEW HOME DESIGN?

A custom new home is a reflection of who you are, your personal tastes, and your aspirations. There are several compelling reasons why opting for a custom home design is a great choice compared to buying a pre-designed house from a volume builder:

  • Complete Design Freedom: With custom home designs, you are in complete control of the process. From floor plans to architectural style, materials, and finishes, every detail is tailored to suit your unique needs. Whether you’re envisioning a spacious open-plan living area or a cozy retreat, we’ll make it happen.
  • Tailored Floor Plans: Your home should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around. That’s why we focus on designing floor plans that work for you. Whether you need extra bedrooms for a growing family, a larger kitchen for entertaining, or a dedicated home office, we’ll craft a layout that maximises your available space.
  • Maximised Site Potential: Every property is different, and a custom home allows you to make the most of your land. We carefully assess your site—considering topography, views, natural light, and wind direction—to create a design in harmony with its surroundings. Our designs ensure your home not only looks stunning but also functions optimally.
  • Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: A custom home is the perfect opportunity to incorporate eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions, such as sustainable building materials, solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient windows. We specialise in sustainable home design, creating homes that are beautiful and environmentally responsible.
  • Long-Term Value and Functionality: A custom home isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that suits your needs for years to come. Whether building a luxury home or a modest family abode, the design is optimized for evolving needs, ensuring your home remains functional, valuable, and enjoyable for decades.

SPACE AND FUNCTION: THE CORNERSTONES OF GREAT DESIGN

In the world of custom new homes, space and functionality are the two fundamental elements that should define every design. A beautiful home is one that not only looks impressive but is also practical and functional for everyday living. At Anabode Design and Drafting, we emphasise the importance of these two elements to ensure that your home serves both as a sanctuary and a well-oiled machine that suits your lifestyle.

SPACE: MAKING EVERY ROOM WORK FOR YOU

Maximising space is crucial in a custom new home. A home that stands the test of time isn’t about filling every corner with things; it’s about creating a layout that offers flexibility, comfort, and plenty of room to breathe.

A spacious design doesn’t necessarily mean having large rooms everywhere—it’s about utilising the available space wisely to create a flowing layout where every room feels open and connected.

We ensure that each part of your home—whether it’s the kitchen, living room, or bedrooms—feels well-proportioned and thoughtfully sized. With Anabode Design & Drafting, our focus is on making the most of your land, so your home feels spacious, functional, and never wasteful.

FUNCTIONALITY: DESIGNING SPACES THAT WORK FOR YOU

While creating an aesthetically pleasing design is essential, functionality is just as important. After all, your home is where you’ll live, work, and relax. A custom home must be a place that works for your daily routines. Our job is to design spaces that cater to your lifestyle through residential building design and bespoke residential planning.

Whether you’re a busy family that needs spaces for both work and play, or someone who enjoys hosting guests and values an entertaining space, we design homes that integrate all of these needs seamlessly. From open-plan living areas to multi-functional spaces, we ensure that every inch of your home serves a practical purpose while still maintaining aesthetic appeal through tailored home design solutions and precise drafting plans.

OUR CUSTOM HOME DESIGN PROCESS

At Anabode Design and Drafting, we pride ourselves on our transparent and collaborative design process. Building your custom new home is an exciting journey, and we are with you every step of the way. Here’s an overview of our process:

  • 1. Initial Consultation
    We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision for the home. This is a collaborative process where we discuss your requirements, preferences, budget, and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a contemporary residential design or something more traditional, we take the time to listen and understand your needs. We’ll also evaluate your site to ensure that your bespoke residential planning will be perfectly suited to the plot of land you’ve chosen. During this phase, we look at the topography, the neighbourhood, and any potential planning regulations that might affect your home design.
  • 2. Concept Design and Floor Plans
    Once we’ve gathered all the information, we move on to the conceptual stage. Here, we develop preliminary floor plans and building design plans for your new home. These plans include key features like room layouts, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and additional spaces such as home offices or entertainment zones. We’ll collaborate with you throughout this stage, adjusting the design until it fully meets your expectations.
  • 3. Detailed Design and Drafting
    Once the concept is finalised, we refine the details and develop the complete set of drafting plans. These detailed plans will cover everything from the structural elements of the home to the layout and integration of additional features like lighting, storage, and more. During this phase, we focus on every detail to ensure that the design works seamlessly with your needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re opting for a luxury tailored home design solution or something more modest, we ensure that the residential plans align with both your preferences and your budget.

  • 4. Permits and Approvals
    Navigating Victorian building regulations can be tricky, but with years of experience, we handle all the necessary documentation to ensure that your home design drawings comply with local rules. We ensure that all the necessary steps are taken, so you can easily apply for your building permit with your chosen builder.
  • 5. Construction Phase and Support
    Once the design and permits are in place, we begin the construction phase. We prefer to work closely with our clients and any trusted builders and/or contractors to ensure that the custom design plans are faithfully executed. Our team remains involved throughout the construction process, offering support and guidance to ensure that the build progresses according to the approved residential plans, and addressing any challenges as they arise.
