Top 5 Modern Home Designs from the Swanbuild Range

Written by Swanbuild | 30, August, 2024

At Swanbuild, our cutting-edge modular construction process allows us to make homes of very high quality with efficient timelines in various styles.

While we may be known for creating classic Australian country-style homes, we have an ever-increasing range of sleek modern designs that our clients love. Read below as we take you through our Top 5 contemporary home designs, highlight some of their best features and give you an idea of what they might look like on your site.  

 

Eden 13


All of the variations of the Eden home are characterised by their striking gabled rooves and optional timber portico entrances. The Eden 13 is a beautifully functional two-bedroom layout with two bathrooms and a stunning raked ceiling in the living area. The sizeable gabled shape of the exterior consists of an oversized window in the meal area, flooding the space with natural light. Contrasting vertical and horizontal cladding gives the Eden 13 a chic, modern barn feel, and the alfresco decking off the kitchen under the main roof-line gives you great opportunities to enjoy your site's views no matter the weather. 

You can finish the Eden 13 with any of our three inclusion packages to suit your lifestyle. If you like the look and feel of the Eden 13, check out the Eden 15, Eden 17, and Eden 20 designs for more layout and bedroom options.

 


 

 

Contempo 19

 

We created the Contempo 19 with a focus on wide open space and zoned living. Like all homes in the Contempo range, the Contempo 19 is suitable for large plots of land to give your home adequate space both inside and out. The home's clever design separates the primary and secondary bedrooms (three in total) via the central living space. The central space includes high-lite windows to maximise natural light, and we have designed the home to allow maximum storage and functionality. The home includes:

  • Built-in robes for each bedroom.

  • An oversized walk-in for the main.

  • A walk-in linen cupboard.

  • A huge walk-in pantry in the kitchen.

For the exterior of the Contempo 19, the cubist elements deliver a minimalist aesthetic while still giving you multiple surfaces to finish in various claddings to suit your personal tastes. 

For even more living options, see the other Contempo homes in the range: Contempo 18, Contempo 20, and Contempo 22.

 

 

Hamlyn 17


A central living zone connects two impressive gabled volumes, the Hamlyn 17 is a real head-turner. Entry via expansive hardwood decking leads you either to the main bedroom (with walk-in robe and ensuite) or the secondary bedrooms, located around the family bathroom (with full-sized bathtub and separate WC and laundry with its own external access). The modern design allows the living and kitchen / meals area to include a raked ceiling and the bi-fold doors open to a rear alfresco deck, making this home perfect for entertaining. 

Finish the vertical cladding in a dark colour for a bold facade, and choose from either the Life Made or Sustainable Living Packages to make the home your own. The design is also available in the two-bedroom Hamlyn 15 or three-bedroom Hamlyn 16 designs. 

 




 

Mayfair 15


Ultra-modern with a touch of Scandi design notes, the Mayfair 15 makes a bold impression. The sleek, flat roof and cubist facade conceal a spacious two-bedroom layout, designed to offer each bedroom a sense of privacy. The open-plan kitchen and main living area extend onto a hardwood deck, which faces two directions, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the afternoon, making it perfect for year-round enjoyment. Deluxe design features like a walk-in pantry, modern kitchen island and unique corner window elevate the Mayfair 15 into something really special. 

Finish the home with our Life Made Package or Sustainable Living Package. For more unique Scandi-inspired homes, see the other Mayfair designs, Mayfair 18 and Mayfair 19



 

Somerset 14


The contemporary design of the Somerset 14 gives you a compact three-bedroom home without skimping on any modern luxuries. A raked ceiling gives you added space in the main living area, and the bedroom layout gives the main bedroom a walk-in robe and ensuite. The secondary bedrooms are located around the central family bathroom and separate WC. A walk-in pantry and laundry with rear access allow you to utilise all of the internal space, and a full-length verandah off the main living gives you many options for outdoor living. 

The exterior's full-length windows and cladding options are some of our most requested features, and you can finish the Somerset 14 off with any of our three inclusion packages.
