How do your home designs fit with the way that Australian families/residents want to live? Has this changed over the years?
At Coral Homes, we understand that families in Queensland spend a lot of time outdoors due to the warmer climate. To complement this, our home designs feature a seamless flow from indoor living to outdoor entertaining. Over time, Coral Homes has also evolved our designs to incorporate multiple living spaces, ensuring each member of the family has their own sanctuary to relax and unwind. This includes media rooms, dedicated kids activity spaces, additional living rooms, as well as spacious central living.
What is your top tip for prospective buyers to consider when building a new home?
Plan meticulously! Visit a Coral Homes display home to visualise how you and your family will live in the home. You could also consider how the orientation of the home design on your block of land may impact liveability. Our New Home Consultants can help you understand which home design will be best suited to your lot, and your family’s lifestyle.
What do you think are the main challenges faced by prospective buyers when planning to build a new home?
Abundance of choice! When considering a new build it is important to find a reputable building company that can accommodate your needs and also deliver a choice of designs that suit your requirements and your lot. There are many builders out there that offer affordability without the design catalogue or great designs without the affordability. At Coral Homes we believe we can deliver on both, and it’s why we’re Queensland’s #1 builder!
What’s your favourite home design trend for 2024?
If there’s one trend that’s ramping up in 2024, its modern homes, and the Queensland lifestyle welcomes Modern Coastal home designs. Evolving from traditional blue and white beach houses, the Modern Coastal trend incorporates neutral tones like whites, beige and greenery, plus a flowing indoor-outdoor floorplan like our Bentley on display at Aura. In response to this trend, Coral Homes now offers Modern Facade options with many of our home designs.
Do you implement any innovative or sustainable construction practices in your projects at Stockland Aura?
Our homes are not only on-trend and stylish, but also a conscious space that aligns with the National Construction Code’s most up-to-date standards and guidelines. Our new home designs encourage wider hallways, family-friendly layouts and more spacious living areas that welcome natural light.
What achievements or milestones are you most proud of?
This year, Coral Homes is celebrating 34 years of building dream homes for Australians. In that time, we’ve built over 26,000 homes! We’re most proud of providing home designs that are affordable, so more Aussies can afford to build the home they’ve always wanted.
