The Best Features Of Our Most Popular Floor Plans
Laundry
Not everyone's favourite room in the house, but for a room with essential functions, the design of a properly arranged laundry is critical. Most of Manor's laundries, where possible, feature a separate rear entrance. The second entrance makes washing and drying a breeze as you can easily move laundry out to dry. An added benefit of the second laundry entrance is the ability to use the room as a mudroom. Dirty shoes and kids' school bags can all find a home in the laundry without cluttering up the home's main entrance.
Open Plan Kitchen
A popular layout in recent years has been making the kitchen the true heart of the home by combining the area with open plan living and dining areas. Great for everyday life and entertaining, an open plan kitchen and living area makes for an efficient use of space. An open plan kitchen also means you're not tucked away from your guests when preparing food and entertaining. Our floor plans take this into account and offer you a range of kitchen styles to suit your needs
Zoned Living
The bedrooms and living areas are situated in separate zones for larger homes in the Manor collection. Dividing these areas is ideal for entertaining and everyday life, which means less noise from living areas travels to the home's private quarters. Additionally, heating and cooling the house is more efficient if you only occupy one zone at a time, i.e., no need to heat the bedrooms until late evening when they are in use.
What To Keep In Mind For Your Floor Plan
The team at Manor will work with you to understand your ideal lifestyle and provide a floor plan solution to match. Some important things we recommend all new clients keep in mind include the following:
Future Proofing
Are you planning on a family or extending your current family? Make sure you choose a floor plan that allows for either enough bedrooms or the addition of more bedrooms at a later stage.
Daily Life
Does your family live for time spent outdoors? Ensure your home's living areas connect to your preferred outdoor space. If you are selecting a home design with a decking, ensure it will be large enough for all your intended uses.
Bedroom Placement
While some floor plans feature a separate wing for the main bedroom away from the other bedrooms, some clients want all their bedrooms to be closer together for peace of mind. Are you planning on adding the pitter-patter of tiny feet? It might be worth making sure a secondary bedroom borders the main bedroom.

In this stage, we take everything you gave us in the Discovery Meeting and turn it into the beginning of your dream home.

We pay special attention to ensure you get the right amount of winter sun and are ideally located for summer shade.
Landscape factors will also be a part of our chat. In this stage, we will address the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating and flood issues that may be prevalent in your area. This landscape assessment will determine which type of home design we recommend for your site.
The Design Solution stage is also where we get into the nitty gritty, how we can help with financing and other building-related services.
Then comes the enjoyable part. This stage is where we can select which styling preference you desire from our 4 themes.
