Start by considering how you live now and how your needs may change in the future. Think about the number of bedrooms and living areas you need, whether you work from home, how you entertain, your storage requirements and whether you prefer single or double storey living.
Your block size and budget will also influence which designs are suitable. An Orbit Homes New Home Sales Professional can help you compare designs and find a floorplan that suits your land, lifestyle and priorities.
The width, depth and characteristics of your block determine which home designs can potentially be built on it. The home also needs to meet relevant setback requirements, developer guidelines and other applicable requirements.
If you already own land, or have a block in mind, our team can review the property and help identify suitable Orbit Homes designs.
The size of home you can build depends on more than the overall size of your land. Your block's width and depth, setbacks, easements, orientation, developer guidelines and site conditions can all affect the available building area.
This means two blocks of a similar overall size may suit different home designs. Orbit Homes can assess your block and help you understand which designs are suitable.
Orbit Homes offers home designs created for a range of common lot widths, including designs for narrower blocks through to larger family and acreage homes.
The exact home designs available will depend on your block dimensions, location and applicable building and developer requirements. When browsing our home designs, you can narrow your search based on your land and requirements.
There are opportunities to personalise selected Orbit Homes designs with designer floorplan options and upgrades. The options available will depend on the home design and collection you choose.
Your New Home Sales Professional can take you through the available options and help you find a layout that best suits your lifestyle before your home design is finalised.
The right choice depends on your block, budget, lifestyle and how you want to use the space.
A single storey home can offer easy access throughout the home and may suit families wanting everything on one level. A double storey design can provide more living space while making efficient use of the available land, which can be particularly useful when you want a larger home on a smaller block.
Consider your bedroom requirements, living spaces, backyard priorities and long-term needs when comparing the two.
Potentially, yes. A double storey design can be a good way to maximise living space where land width is limited because additional rooms and living areas can be positioned upstairs rather than increasing the home's footprint.
Whether a particular double storey design will suit your block will depend on its dimensions, setbacks, easements and applicable developer and building requirements.
Yes, Orbit Homes offers a range of acreage home designs for suitable larger blocks in selected build areas across Victoria and Queensland.
The home designs available will depend on your location, block dimensions, site conditions, setbacks and other applicable planning, building or developer requirements. Our team can review your land and help you identify suitable acreage designs.
An acreage home is designed for larger blocks of land and typically has a wider footprint than a standard suburban home. Acreage designs often make the most of the additional space with generous living areas, larger bedroom zones and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Orbit Homes offers acreage home designs for customers looking to build on larger blocks in selected areas of Victoria and Queensland.
A façade is the front exterior appearance of your home. It includes architectural elements such as the roofline, windows, entry, materials, finishes and other design features that create the home's street appeal.
Orbit Homes offers a range of façade styles across its home designs, from contemporary and modern looks through to Hamptons, coastal, ranch, barn and Provincial-inspired styles
Yes, Orbit Homes offers a range of façade options across its home designs. The façades available to you will depend on the particular home design, its width and your block.
Some façades also have specific lot-width requirements or may require developer approval, so your New Home Sales Professional can confirm the options available for your chosen design and land.
No. Façade availability varies between home designs and can also depend on the width of the home and block.
Elements of a façade may also change slightly when applied to different home designs or widths. For example, windows, front doors and other elements can be adjusted to suit the internal room layout and dimensions of a particular design
Yes. If you already own land, Orbit Homes can help you identify home designs that may suit your block dimensions, lifestyle and budget.
Your block will need to be assessed against factors such as its dimensions, site conditions, easements and applicable developer or building requirements before the suitability of a particular design can be confirmed.
Yes. Some façade designs have minimum or specific lot-width requirements.
Your chosen façade must work with both the home design and the block it will be built on. Some façade options may also be subject to developer approval, particularly where an estate has architectural or design guidelines.
Facade images and renders are a guide to the overall appearance of the home. The finished façade can vary depending on the home design, its width, your selected colours and materials, developer requirements and any upgrades you choose.
Some items shown in renders or display home photography may also be upgrades or items that aren't included as standard, such as landscaping, driveways, fencing or decorative finishes.
