Retreat Range of Home Designs

Single, double and loft house designs

Here at the Rural Building Company, we have five ranges of new home designs including single, double and loft houses all designed to suit your lifestyle and needs.

Imagine a home that felt like you were on a permanent holiday and allowed your lifestyle to feel separate from work without having to escape far from working life.

The Retreat Ranges allows you to capture the visual environment from the front and rear of your hour home through the use of open plan living areas and expansive windows. These homes are perfect for those looking to build their own retreat whilst still maintaining a connection to urban living.
