subject: Designing And Building A Modern Contemporary Home In The Melbourne, Victoria Area. [print this page] When considering the things that are most essential in life it is certain that humans are invariably going to need to eat. So food providers are an essential part of life and wherever we are in the Australia we will usually be reasonably close to places we can buy food. (unless we are on a sheep station in which case we have to do some planning) Traditionally this was the high street and the local market stall. In latest days the big supermarkets plus a host of smaller franchise kind corner stores have rather squeezed the traditional high street grocer, fruit and veg shop and butcher out of job. The second essential is clothing. Here in Victoria all of us require a variety of apparel as our climate can go from high temperatures in the regions of 46deg C in mid to late summer to rather cool foggy winters but always suddenly changeable.
The third essential is shelter. Everyone needs a place to live. Building houses and homes is always a sign that one is putting down roots and intending to settle. At first the homes built were simple affairs, no more than shelter from the elements, with all facilities on the outside. No running water, external privies and cooking done on a clay wood fired stove outside.
In many parts of the world this is still the way houses are. But here in Australia in the urban centres like Melbourne we have advanced to a great degree. Nowadays we mostly live in homes that builders have built from brick and expected to stand for 50 or more years. There is little resemblance to the old ways since now all houses are electrified, have glazed windows, internal kitchens and hot and cold running water and waterborne sewage.
But there are houses and there are HOUSES. Most homes are pretty standard, almost stock, built affairs of limited variation. Two or three bedroom homes with a kitchen and living/dining room and 2 bathrooms, and a veranda of some sort.
But now we come to the exceptions to the rule. Custom designed and built modern contemporary homes mean that the house is built with you, and your particular needs and wants in mind and, provided your budget stretches that far, the appearance that makes it stunning to look at and the most exceptional home in your neighbourhood.
Do not be afraid of the costs running away and as long as you can afford to dream our design and build team have a passionate mission to design and build outstanding and cutting edge homes to suit our customers.
Building doesn't necessarily mean one has to move. If your current house is a bit rundown and you are wishing for modern home designs then the process of knocking down your home and rebuilding your dream house on the old site is a reasonable way to go and often not as costly as the move which will be full of the hassle of finding a new place and then the trouble of selling the old one.
Let us build you a new and exciting home in Victoria.
