New Homes

Our Homes are exclusively designed for you, drawing inspiration from great Australian and international architecture. From the clean lines of modern minimalism to the more traditional architectural styles found in Melbourne, together we will create a home that is an extension of who you are. Elegant, comfortable, versatile, unique, luxurious; these are just some of the adjectives that can describe a Monte Home. Of course, no home is complete until your personal signature has made it truly unique, with exquisite textures, luxurious textiles and furnishings. The interior design team at Monte Homes can create a style as individual as it is timeless. The scope of the design brief will vary from home to home, and is dependent upon your individual requirements. The design team will be available to assist you with any internal or external colour selections, finishes materials, flooring, window treatment, furniture and decor

Livable, Accessible and Adaptable Homes

Downsizes and customised accessibility requirements

Many people, when building a new home, anticipate spending a number of years, if not decades, living in it. Others may conceive of a shorter stay. Whatever the intention, any new or existing home is likely to have to accommodate changing needs over its lifetime.

Monte Homes can create a homes that can;

  • be easy to enter
  • be easy to navigate in and around
  • be capable of easy and cost-effective adaptation, and
  • be responsive to the changing needs of home occupants.

For those with limited mobility, reduced vision or other impairment, the ability to perform common tasks such as carrying shopping into the home, cooking a meal, using the bathroom or accessing items from high shelves may be unnecessarily limited by the physical design of a home. As the needs of individuals are specific to their personal circumstances there is no single solution to designing a home to meet changing needs; however, several approaches exist:

  • Livable house — designed to meet the changing needs of most home occupants throughout their lifetime without the need for specialisation.
    It is designed and built to meet the changing needs of occupants across their lifetime. It include key easy living features that make them easier and safer to use for all occupants including: people with disability, ageing Australians, people with temporary injuries, and families with young children.
  • Accessible house — designed to meet the needs of people requiring higher level access from the outset, and usually designed and built with a specific person’s needs in mind. An accessible house meets Australian Standard AS 1428.1-2001, Design for access and mobility, and is able to accommodate wheelchair users in all areas of the dwelling.
  • Adaptable house — adopts the idea of a livable house but in addition is able to be easily adapted to become an accessible house if the need should arise.
