Single storey homes also provide better structural stability in areas prone to natural hazards, and have lower construction and maintenance costs compared to double storey homes in most scenarios.
The trade-off is footprint: single storey homes generally require a larger land footprint than double storey homes, so frontage, house depth and orientation all influence which design fits well on your block.
If you have questions about your specific site, book an appointment to speak with a New Homes Consultant who can assess suitability and guide you toward the right house design for your lifestyle.
Single Storey Floor Plans: What to Look For
A floorplan can tell you how many bedrooms a home has. A well-considered design shows you how living there could feel.
Every single storey home in the Boutique Homes collection includes a detailed floorplan, with bedroom, bathroom, living and garage configurations clearly shown. Explore each design to see how the kitchen connects with dining and family spaces, where quieter rooms are positioned and how the home opens to an alfresco or garden.
As you browse, consider more than the room count. Think about the moments that will shape everyday life: arriving home with the shopping, gathering around the kitchen, working from home, hosting friends or finding a quiet place to unwind.
Use the favourites tool to create a shortlist, then compare the designs that best reflect your priorities.
Why Choose a Single Storey Home Design
A single storey home design has no internal stairs separating the household, making it easy to move between the kitchen, living spaces, bedrooms and outdoors.
For young families, established households and those thinking ahead, this can create a home that feels intuitive from the day you move in. Open-plan layouts in single storey homes enhance family interaction, keeping kitchen, dining and lounge spaces connected so the home feels generous without feeling disconnected.

What makes a well-considered single storey floorplan?
The right single storey design uses its footprint with purpose—balancing
connection, privacy and everyday practicality. As you compare floorplans,
consider how each space supports the way your household lives now and how
those needs may evolve over time.
| What to consider | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Connection and privacy | Look for considered zoning that brings the household together while creating space to retreat. This may include a main bedroom set apart from secondary bedrooms, a separate lounge or an activity area positioned near children’s rooms. |
| The everyday arrival | Consider the path from the garage into the home. Internal access near the kitchen, laundry or butler’s pantry can make groceries, school bags and daily routines easier to manage, particularly when storage is close by. |
| The heart of the home | Explore how the kitchen connects with dining, family and outdoor areas. A generous island bench, practical pantry and clear sightlines towards the alfresco can create a central space that feels open, welcoming and easy to live in. |
| Flexible living spaces | Look beyond the bedroom count and consider how the remaining rooms could support your lifestyle. A study, home theatre, guest room, retreat or activity zone can give the home greater flexibility as your household changes. |
| The relationship with your block | Consider how the home’s width, depth and orientation respond to your land. Block dimensions, setbacks, easements and developer requirements may influence which designs are suitable and how the home connects with natural light and outdoor spaces. |

Frequently Asked Questions
A single storey home design, sometimes referred to as one storey house designs or single level home designs, is a house where every room sits on one level with no internal stairs. This layout supports step-free movement, accessibility features for all ages, and a connected style of living where bedrooms, bathrooms and open plan living spaces are all on the same plane.
Boutique Homes offers a diverse range of single storey designs that is regularly refined to reflect modern lifestyles and new home designs. The most current selection is always visible in the gallery on this page. While some builders in the broader market offer over 100 single storey designs, Boutique Homes focuses on a curated range of single storey home designs where every plan has been resolved for liveability and design quality rather than volume alone.
Floor area varies depending on bedroom count, the number of living spaces, and block size. A three-bedroom design will have a different footprint to a four or five-bedroom plan with open plan living and a home theatre. Rather than quoting averages, review the individual floor plans on this page for specific dimensions and room configurations that align with your needs.

Boutique Homes offers single storey designs for a range of block widths, from narrow block configurations through to 16 metre wide lots. Because single storey homes require more land area than double storey homes, wider and deeper blocks generally allow for more generous layouts.
Every design in the gallery on this page includes a detailed, viewable floor plan showing bedroom, bathroom and living zone layouts. You can also request a virtual tour or printed plan pack.
