Contemporary Residential Design on the Northern Beaches

Located along the Sydney coastline, the northern beaches boast many styles of homes and unique landscapes. Residential designers often assist homeowners in making decisions regarding their home remodel based on the contemporary style. Designers familiar with contemporary residential styles in the northern beaches can guide and advise on the most creative way to bring their home up to speed in terms of how the home must function and present today.

In response to the increasing demand for contemporary family homes, new home designers in the northern beaches have been busy developing innovative, creative, custom concepts for homeowners from Manly to Palm Beach.

A contemporary residential design can offer many benefits 

The custom nature of contemporary homes is what makes each home unique. A designer who specialises in custom home design will present concepts to the homeowner which are based on the needs of the homeowner’s family. They will be crafted with a deep consideration of the design brief and how the home must serve the family long term.

In order to be considered contemporary, a home must be designed carefully and professionally so that it meets the needs of its owner with a current design edge. As a result, contemporary residential designers make use of open spaces, shared living spaces, and forward-looking design concepts to construct a home that appeals both aesthetically and functionally to the owner.

What to expect from a professional residential designer? 

A residential designer will be able to support your design ideas with validation, expansion and the skillset required to create a set of home design plans based on your combined vision. Once you have qualified your home designer, you will spend time together to determine the possibilities for your home. Upon a site visit they will be able to answer your many questions regarding these possibilities - which you have likely been quietly excited about. Most residential designers will have the ability to problem solve through design, meaning that any potential hurdles will be overcome to achieve your design goals.

With the nature of the northern beaches landscape, factoring in sloping blocks, hills, trees, rock and coastal erosion, a professional designer with experience working in the local area will be the best option for supporting your vision. 

To help you forecast how the process of designing your home, the typical stages of design include: 

1. An in-depth briefing and research phase to ensure all is understood between the client and designer prior to the sketch phase

2. Personalised sketches tailored to each client's individual needs

3. Final drawings with documentation and council submission

4. 3D modelling is used to present the final designs to the client in a professional and highly detailed format.
