Location, Location, Location

The first consideration is the location of your future custom designed home. Geelong offers a diverse range of neighbourhoods, each with its own unique charm. SawMill Designs, with over 17 years of experience in the industry, comes to your project armed with local knowledge of the Geelong region and its unique considerations.

Lifestyle and Functionality

Understanding your lifestyle and the functional requirements of your home is vital. SawMill Designs collaborates closely with you to create spaces that align with your family’s daily routines, hobbies and future needs.

Architectural Style

Choosing an overall style sets the tone for your custom designed home. SawMill Designs can offer expertise in a variety of styles, from contemporary to traditional, ensuring the design reflects your personal taste and preferences while harmonising with the surrounding architecture.

Natural Light

An abundance of natural light is essential for a healthy and comfortable living environment. We can guarantee this will never go out of style! Contact us to discuss incorporating windows, skylights and open floor plans in your custom designed home.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Geelong's stunning landscapes and warm Summer climate call for exciting outdoor living spaces. Consider how your family might use your outdoor space, what features you’d like to include and what you want the space to communicate.

Storage Solutions

Ample storage space is crucial for maintaining an organised and clutter-free home. Ask your building designer to incorporate innovative storage solutions and optimise every square inch of your custom home to accommodate your family’s belongings.

Future Expansion

Anticipating future needs is essential when designing your dream home that will last a lifetime. You may want to consider how your family may expand into the future, how your needs may change or how you may care for ageing family members in the future.

Designing your dream home in Geelong requires careful consideration of various factors, from location and functionality to storage and material selection.
