New Home Design and Construction

There are various aspects to new home design and construction. Right from the initial thoughts and design to the finishing touches before moving in, there are considerations to take on board and best practices to work towards.

At HNB, we have been working on new home designs and construction for many years. We have experience working with many clients with different preferences and ideas.

One of the best parts about working on constructing new homes is the ability to give our clients their dream homes! We like to say ‘yes’ wherever possible, so we work closely with our designers and architects to accomplish everything we can.

If you are embarking on a new home design and construction project, then contact HNB today. We can help with projects at any stage, but it’s best to talk to us at the beginning if possible. That way, we can work with your architect and guide you through any building regs, the planning application process and any site restrictions, right from the start.

New Home Design and Construction Ideas and Aspects 

When thinking about new home design and construction, there are some ideas you may like to consider.

Open Floor Plans – Open layouts are popular and modern; they provide a sense of spaciousness and facilitate social interaction. They often integrate the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a seamless flow.

Outdoor Living Spaces – The concept of outdoor living spaces has grown considerably in recent years. These areas often include comfortable seating, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and even outdoor theatres, allowing homeowners to enjoy nature and entertain guests. So, when designing your new home, consider the available space and ensure you leave a big enough outdoor space to suit your needs.

Home Offices – With the rise of remote working, home offices have become essential. Designers are creating functional and aesthetically pleasing workspaces within homes, considering factors like natural light, acoustics, and ergonomic furniture. If you work from home, your working space is important to consider from the start of your new home design journey. Make the most of your space to create a pleasant atmosphere for your professional life.  

Storage Space – Something which is often overlooked during new home design is storage space. Somewhere for the boiler, clothing storage, kitchen storage etc., these can be harder to add later, so having them as part of the initial designs is important. Your architect can work with you to ensure your design includes everything it needs for a beautiful and functional home.

Bedroom size and style – How many bedrooms do you require, and what size are you after? It can be tempting to fit in as many bedrooms as possible into a smaller space. However, sometimes fewer larger rooms can make a home feel more grand than lots of smaller bedrooms. It’s also important to ensure you have enough bathrooms for the number of bedrooms you decide upon.

Considerations for your New Home

Here are some elements to consider during your new home design process that you may want to incorporate from the start.

Energy Efficiency – Have you considered energy-efficient elements for your home? You may like to incorporate features such as solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, improved insulation, and smart home automation systems to optimise energy usage and reduce utility bills.

Smart Home Technology – Integrating smart technology into homes has become increasingly common. A smart home system allows you to remotely control elements such as lighting, security, temperature, and entertainment systems via smartphones or voice commands.

Outdoor Sustainability – Can you incorporate anything to make your outdoor space more sustainable? Many homeowners are incorporating rainwater harvesting systems, permeable paving, native landscaping, and vegetable gardens to promote environmental sustainability.
