At Swanbuild, our home designs are distinctive in their country house elements.
Our design collection ranges from classic country style in homes like The Benalla 25, The Beechworth 26, The Eldorado 44 and The Sandhurst 27 to homes encompassing the best contemporary country design like The Eden 20, The Hamlyn 17 and The Sorrento 17. So read below and discover what sets the classic country Swanbuild homes apart from the modern masterpieces of contemporary design.
Design Elements
Classic Australian country homes are easily identifiable by their pitched roofs, weatherboard cladding and wide verandahs. Swanbuild's classic country designs are no different. While there has been some improvement to materials and build processes over time, the overall look of a classic country home remains the same. Swanbuild's contemporary country homes encompass an all-new design aesthetic. Sleek modern lines and multiple volumes of contrasting materials set these homes apart from the classic country style.
Materials
Horizontal timber cladding and pitched roofs set off by fretwork and finials are hallmarks of classic country styles. Our modern homes are distinctive in their use of multiple materials and finishes. Large modern windows and vertical cladding in various materials, shapes and sizes set the contemporary country designs apart from their classic counterparts.
Floor Plan Features
Our contemporary homes and classic country designs are almost identical regarding one element, modern floor plan features. All of our homes feature large open-plan living areas designed for everyday living, where the kitchen is the heart of the house and a place families share quality time together. A focus on indoor-outdoor living is shared across all Swanbuild homes. Each Swanbuild home is designed from the ground up to take advantage of your property and to incorporate the alfresco and decks as secondary living areas. All of our home designs come with the option to add more decking space to the home's external footprint.
