When our clients came to us to build their custom home in Camden, they were looking for something many house and land packages couldn’t offer — flexibility.

As a growing family needing a functional single-storey layout with a dedicated work-from-home space, they quickly realised standard project home options within the estate wouldn’t meet their needs. That’s where our Crafted by King service came in — allowing us to design the home completely in-house, tailored to their lifestyle and block.

What they were looking for:

• A custom single-storey home designed specifically for their block
• A dedicated home office, separate from family living areas
• Clear zoning between living, kids’ spaces, and private areas
• Open-plan living with strong indoor-outdoor connection
• Practical everyday features to support a busy family

How we brought it to life:

Working within strict estate design guidelines and building envelopes, our team carefully designed a home that maximised width and functionality without compromise.

• The home was widened to incorporate a private office near the entry, creating a professional work-from-home space
• A mudroom-style drop zone was introduced off the garage to manage daily family movement and reduce clutter
• The central living area was designed as an open-plan kitchen, dining, and family space flowing directly to the alfresco
• A secondary rumpus room was positioned near the bedrooms to create a separate retreat for kids
• The bedroom wing was zoned to the rear for privacy, while the main suite was positioned at the front as a quiet retreat

Key design features:

• Large island kitchen with walk-in pantry for everyday functionality
• Multiple living zones to support both family time and separation
• Thoughtful zoning to reduce noise and improve liveability
• A façade designed to meet estate guidelines while maintaining street appeal
• Practical inclusions like a drop zone to support real day-to-day living

The result:

A well-considered custom home that balances flexibility, function, and lifestyle — all within the constraints of a developer-led estate. Delivered within budget, this home is a great example of how smart design and efficient planning can create a spacious, highly functional single-storey home without overbuilding.
