One of the most exciting parts of building a new home is turning ideas into reality. At Stonewood Homes, we offer over 500 tried-and-tested home plans — from compact 80m² layouts to expansive 500m²+ lifestyle homes. But sometimes, clients arrive with their own vision, and we love bringing it to life.
That’s exactly what happened when Stacey and Leni (names changed for privacy) sat down with us in our Warkworth Showroom.
Choosing From 500+ Plans
Our design process usually starts with exploring our plan range. These layouts are proven to work — whether for entertaining, growing families, or relaxed lifestyle living. We sat down with Stacey and Leni and went through the options in detail.
Then, they pulled out a rough sketch drawn on the back of their grandchild’s colouring page and asked:
“Could you design us a home like this?”
The answer was a resounding yes.
Bringing Their Vision to Life
Within 36 hours, our team had uploaded their sketch and transformed it into a digital design. Back in the showroom, Stacey and Leni were able to experience their home in a way few clients imagine possible:
- A 3D render on our big screen.
- The ability to remove the roof and see the floorplan from above.
- A full “walk-through” using our Home I system, showing exactly how their home would feel.
As Stacey exclaimed, “That’s my home!”
Why Technology Matters
Building a new home is a huge commitment — often the biggest investment of your life. Having the chance to “walk through” your future home before it’s built provides peace of mind, ensures the design works for your lifestyle, and gives confidence that the end result will feel just right.
For us, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of the journey — helping clients see their dream home take shape, right from a pencil sketch.
Final Thoughts
At Stonewood Homes Rodney, we combine decades of design expertise with the latest technology to make the process exciting, personal, and stress-free. Whether you choose one of our 500+ proven plans or bring us your own ideas, we’ll help you turn your vision into a home you’ll love for years to come.
