When building your dream home, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is how to begin the design. Should you undertake a fully custom build, or choose from a curated design that you can personalise?
At Wattle Court, we offer flexible pathways for all kinds of homeowners—whether you’re looking for full creative freedom, a streamlined process, or something in between. Our Habitat Home plans offer a smart alternative: pre-designed homes that are built faster, priced with certainty, and still customisable to suit your lifestyle.
Let’s explore the options and help you decide which approach is right for you.
Custom Home Design
Designed from the ground up — tailored entirely to you
A custom home is a blank canvas. It’s the ultimate way to bring your unique vision to life, with every detail—from room layout to materials—crafted to suit your lifestyle, land, and taste.
Benefits of a custom home:
- Every detail is unique – You’re in full control of floorplans, finishes, and design style.
- Perfect for challenging lots – Ideal for sloping, narrow, or irregular-shaped blocks.
- Tailored long-term living – Incorporate multi-generational living, sustainability features, or future-focused technologies.
- Luxury material options – Specify high-end fixtures and premium finishes throughout.
Who is it for?
- Homeowners with a strong vision and specific requirements
- Those building on complex sites
- Clients wanting full creative control and one-of-a-kind results
Personalised Home Design (Our Most Popular Option)
Built from a Habitat Home plan, we personalise these plans to fit your lifestyle and vision.
This is where flexibility meets efficiency. Starting with one of our Habitat Home plans, you can tweak, reconfigure, and personalise the design to better suit your family, block, or lifestyle. It’s the smart middle path between full custom and ready-to-build.
Benefits of a personalised Habitat Home:
- Creative freedom without the overwhelm – Start with a trusted design, then make it yours.
- Faster and more cost-efficient – Build time is shorter than custom, and pricing is more predictable.
- Adaptable to your needs – Make layout changes, upgrade features, or adapt to site conditions.
- Expert guidance included – Our team works with you to fine-tune every detail.
Who is it for?
- Homeowners who want flexibility, but not the complexity of starting from scratch
- Clients who want to personalise a proven floorplan
- Families who want confidence, clarity, and a smooth design journey
