Inside the most popular designs in Eight Homes' Lifestyle Range
Joel RobinsonNov 30, 20254 min read
Eight Homes’ recent recognition at the 2025 HIA Western Victoria Regional Housing Awards has placed renewed attention on the builder’s most established and widely adopted collection: the Lifestyle Range.
The Thanne 4-42 Display Home at Armstrong Creek took out the Display Home > Up to $500,000 category, a result that underscores both the design thinking behind the home and the broader consistency of a range that has anchored the Eight Homes offering for more than a decade.
Industry awards can often feel abstract to buyers, but wins like this are typically grounded in criteria that matter to households planning a new build: functionality, construction quality and the ability for a floorplan to support evolving family life.
For builders, recognition from the HIA speaks to execution: how well the design translates once built, how it performs in liveability, and how it presents as a complete home. For purchasers, it provides a layer of independent assurance that a design has been tested and assessed beyond marketing material.
For Eight Homes, the award aligns with the principles the company was founded on in 2012: simplicity, value, and homes that prioritise practical liveability for everyday families.
How the Thanne 4-42 stood out
The double-storey Thanne 4-42, on display in Armstrong Creek’s Banksia Estate, reflects the core attributes the judges recognised: clarity of planning, efficient use of space and the balance between shared and private zones.
Designed around family living, the home features a central open-plan kitchen, meals and family area, an abundance of storage and a walk-in pantry, a dedicated study, and multiple living spaces across both levels.
Upstairs, three secondary bedrooms, each with walk-in robes, are arranged around a large casual living area, while the master suite offers its own retreat-like layout.
The alfresco, generous internal sizes and zoning across both floors strengthen the home’s suitability for buyers who need flexibility as kids grow or living arrangements shift.
These features contributed directly to the award’s focus on thoughtful design and affordability, demonstrating how a family-scaled home can remain accessible within the sub-$500,000 category.
Other popular designs within the same family
The Thanne sits within Eight Homes’ Lifestyle Range, a collection created for modern households, busy, multigenerational, and increasingly reliant on homes that blend work, family and entertainment.
The range is known for zoned spaces, retreat areas, open-plan layouts and floorplans that maximise the footprint of various lot sizes.
For buyers exploring similar layouts, below are several designs across the single and double-storey categories that reflect similar planning priorities and remain among buyer favourites:
Single-storey options
Lirello 2-22
3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car
A compact yet highly functional plan with multiple living areas, smart storage and an open-plan family hub connected to the kitchen.
Designed for 12.5m+ lots, it suits buyers seeking a right-sized home with a clear separation between living and rest zones.
Kyallin 4-25
4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car
A four-bedroom design centred on family living, with a rear rumpus, walk-in robes to all secondary bedrooms and a generous master suite. It offers a zoned layout that works well for households with older children.
Double-storey options
Elandiz 1-26
3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 car
A narrower design suited to 10m+ lots, with a ground-floor kitchen and family zone, upstairs bedrooms linked by a casual living space, and a dedicated study.
A strong fit for professional couples or young families needing flexibility.
Veloria 4-40
5 bed, 3.5 bath, 2 car
A five-bedroom home with a ground-floor guest suite, substantial kitchen with walk-in pantry, and multiple living areas, supporting multigenerational households or buyers who expect long-term adaptability.
A range shaped by consistency
The Lifestyle Range remains Eight Homes’ most popular collection because its homes are built around predictable, day-to-day needs, space to gather, space to separate and layouts that reduce compromise on standard block sizes.
The recent HIA win reinforces how these plans translate from concept to completed build, with the Thanne 4-42 demonstrating how a design can perform when fully realised as a display home.
As buyers continue to prioritise functionality and value over embellishment, awards anchored in design excellence and construction quality become a meaningful signal.
