Lifestyle Homes Designed For The Way You Live
Our lifestyle home plans have been created for homeowners seeking more space, flexibility, and a stronger connection to their surroundings. Designed to suit lifestyle blocks, rural sections, and larger properties, these homes combine practical living with timeless style.
Each plan includes detailed floor plans, ArchiCad drawings, elevations, and specifications, making it easy to move from inspiration to reality. You can build directly from one of our designs or customise the layout to better suit your land, views, and lifestyle requirements.
As experienced rural home builders, Tasman homeowners trust us. We understand the unique considerations involved in building on lifestyle blocks and country properties.

We also offer a range of Designer Plans for homeowners seeking custom luxury home, and Essential Plans for those looking for practical, cost-effective home solutions. Explore our full collection of home plans to find the design that best suits your lifestyle, property, and budget.
Large Family Lifestyle Homes
Lifestyle living often means creating space for growing families, entertaining guests, and enjoying the outdoors. Many of our lifestyle block homes feature multiple living areas, flexible room configurations, home offices, and generous outdoor spaces designed for modern family life.
Whether you're seeking a rural retreat or a long-term family home, our plans offer the flexibility to suit a wide range of lifestyles.
Rural Site Considerations
Building on a lifestyle block often offers opportunities not available in traditional residential sections. Factors such as views, sun orientation, access, topography, and outdoor living areas can all influence the ideal home design.
Our lifestyle home plans are designed to help homeowners make the most of their property and create practical, comfortable homes suited to rural living.

Kanuka
Kanuka designer home by ATC Construction
Is your section wide without much depth? This home is designed for this exact situation! Morning sun can stream through three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen and dining. Inside the master is positioned separately from the other rooms with its own outdoor covered space. The main lounge is cleverly offset from the living, creating a sheltered outdoor space for the midday/evening sun as well as giving the kitchen two viewpoints outside. This home will not disappoint!

Add timeless style to your section, whether you’re urban or have a lifestyle section with an outlook! One prominent feature of this home is the indoor/outdoor room which allows glass doors on all three sides to open up and make the room feel like you’re outside while enjoying both cover and the warmth of the optional fireplace. Other options include the outdoor bar and the cedar/stone exterior cladding. More affordable options can also be used. This home is designed to take full advantage of expansive views and give you that homely feel that doesn’t date with time!

Karo
Simply stunning white on white with triple gable detail! Like your fourth bedroom to be used as a guest room or a study? The fourth bedroom is positioned separate from all other rooms but close to the powder-room for easy access and close to the foyer for client meetings. A covered outdoor area with optional overhead skylights gives you an outdoor space out of the weather or shade. The master is offset to provide the main outdoor area privacy and shelter. If you’re looking for that classic home, you’ll love living in, this is a great place to start!

Pohutakawa
Pohutakawa lifestyle home by ATC Construction
This modern home is all about the outlook! The interior layout of this home is directed towards the northern perspective and making the most of the sun and view. A fourth room can be used as a study with a slider directly off the living or turned into a bedroom with access off the hallway, depending on your needs. The overall width of this home is lean, so even skinny sites will work with this home. If you’re looking for a modern, flexible design, this could be your ticket!
