Modern Australian House Designs

Modern Australian housing doesn’t need to strictly adhere to any specific design. So, feel free to take from many different styles of architecture to design your home.

Scandinavian Barn

Also known as the Modern Barnhouse, Scandinavian Barn is inspired by Nordic simplicity. The exterior colour palette is primarily made up of dark hues such as dark blue or black, which is contrasted by sandy coloured bricks or shades of cream with large glass windows.

If you want to go for the complete design and your borrowing capacity allows it, you should have a steeply pitched roof that overhangs from the building.

Modern Australian Minimalist

Minimalist architecture is defined by simplicity through design. The exterior demonstrates restraint, using simple cladding and wall finishes. Any colour or texture can be used, so long as the colour palette is a single colour tone with large windows.

The overall design lacks some of the aspects seen in other modern designs because Minimalist buildings are typically asymmetrical blocks without any overhanging features.          

Modern Coastal

A Modern Coastal design mirrors the natural beauty of the beach. It presents a bright and breezy feeling of a tranquil seaside holiday. The colour palette is primarily white because it reflects the most natural light, while accented by light natural textures, such as stone or timber.
