Single storey home designs

Single storey homes provide ease of movement between living and sleeping zones, making them ideal for families who prefer life on one level or have difficulty with stairs. Living on one level doesn't mean compromising on space - our designs include options for multiple living areas, open-plan layouts, and dedicated entertaining zones.

With over 45 years of experience and transparent, all-inclusive upfront pricing, we help you budget with confidence from comprehensive site assessment through to handover, with independent quality checks and our lifetime structural guarantee*.

In many cases, a single-storey home can be more cost-effective to build than a two-storey home with a similar number of bedrooms and living spaces. That's because a single-storey design doesn't require a staircase or the additional structural elements needed to support a second level. However, the overall cost of building a home depends on a range of factors, including the home design, block size and slope, site conditions, inclusions and any personalised selections you make throughout your build journey. At Rawson Homes, we offer a wide range of both single and double-storey home designs to suit different lifestyles, blocks and budgets. Our team can help you compare your options and find the right design for your needs.
One of the most popular types of single-storey floor plans are those that combine open-plan living with clearly defined zones for rest, relaxation and entertaining. Many homeowners look for designs that create a natural separation between bedrooms and shared living areas, while also making it easy to connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Features that continue to be in-demand include spacious kitchen, living and dining areas, flexible rooms that can adapt to changing needs, and seamless access to alfresco entertaining spaces. These design elements help create a home that feels both practical and welcoming for everyday living. More recently, home offices have been sought after as more people work remotely. At Rawson Homes, we offer a wide range of single-storey home designs to suit different lifestyles, block sizes and family needs, making it easy to find a floor plan that's the right fit for you.
The time it takes to build a single-storey home in Australia can vary depending on factors such as the home design, site conditions, council and authority approvals, weather, and the availability of trades and materials. While build timeframes differ from project to project, it's important to remember that the overall journey includes both the pre-construction and construction stages. Pre-construction activities such as design selection, approvals, permits and documentation can take several months before construction begins. Once your home is under construction, the build timeframe will depend on the complexity and scope of your project. At Rawson Homes, we'll guide you through every stage of the process and keep you informed along the way, so you know what to expect from planning through to handover.
