A knockdown rebuild is one of the most effective ways to create your dream home, without leaving the location you already love. Instead of navigating the compromises of a renovation, a knockdown rebuild gives you the freedom to start fresh: modern design, functional layouts, and a home that truly reflects your lifestyle.

But with so many home designs available, how do you know which one is right for your family? To help you narrow it down, we’ve handpicked four of our most popular knockdown rebuild designs. Let’s have a look at the home designs and why its perfect for a knockdown rebuild!

The Lilyfield is a fresh, contemporary home design that maximises natural light and space, ideal for established suburban blocks. Its open-plan kitchen, meals, and family areas form a welcoming central hub, while the master suite upstairs offers a peaceful retreat set apart from the family’s living zones.

Why it’s perfect for a knockdown rebuild:

• Suitable for 10m+ lot widths
• Designed to suit blocks in older, established suburbs
• Floods interiors with natural light through expansive windows
• Balances family practicality with sleek modern design

The Parkhill is built with family living in mind. Its open-plan rear living area flows easily to the outdoor space, perfect for entertaining or everyday relaxation. Upstairs, a central rumpus room connects all bedrooms, giving the family room to come together or spread out as needed.

Why it’s perfect for a knockdown rebuild:

• Fits lot widths of 12.5m+
• Ideal for families upgrading to more space
• A flexible layout that evolves with your needs
• Strong street presence with a clean, modern facade

Blending sophistication with day-to-day functionality, the Boston is one of our most popular designs. A private guest suite and home theatre makes the ground floor a flexible living and entertaining space, while the gourmet kitchen, separate butler’s pantry and walk in pantry, anchors the open-plan layout. Upstairs, a private master suite and family rumpus room provide space for everyone.

The Grande lives up to its name. Ideal for wider blocks, this home combines formal and informal living spaces to suit everything from quiet family nights to large-scale entertaining. Its modern finishes and timeless design elements create a home that feels both luxurious and welcoming.

A knockdown rebuild is more than just a project, it’s an opportunity to reimagine how your home supports your lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to the light-filled openness of the Lilyfield, the flexible family flow of the Parkhill, the elegant functionality of the Boston, or the spacious versatility of the Grande, each design offers something unique.

When deciding, consider:

• Do you love to entertain?
• Need separate zones for teenagers or guests?
• Want a peaceful parents’ retreat?
• Planning for multi-generational living?
