TO BE HOME redefines the notion of adaptability and functionality by designing homes that adapt to various living arrangements.
Our homes provide a solution that allows you to stay at home, as well as the ability to easily modify your home as your needs change, giving you back control over how you live.
At the heart of every TO BE HOME lies a carefully crafted architectural approach to accessibility and sophistication.
Accessibility is not a mere add-on, it's an intrinsic part of our holistic approach. Our home designs go above and beyond, surpassing the highest Liveable Housing Australia standards.
TO BE HOME offers the opportunity to enjoy a modern home while strengthening your financial position. You can choose to generate greater income that you can use to enhance your lifestyle, bank for your future or cover future care costs.
TO BE HOME redefines what is possible for the family home and how it can adapt to your changing needs. Our adaptable and multi-functional designs offer a myriad of possibilities to suit your unique lifestyle and any future requirements.
The multi-use nature of our homes means you take back agency and the decision process on where and how you want to live.
Your TO BE HOME is all of the following and more:
Create your new family home that effortlessly accommodates the various needs of your unique family. Our thoughtfully designed layouts and generous living areas are the perfect backdrop for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is at the centre of the family unit.
Unlock the potential of dual living with a TO BE HOME design that transforms one large home into two separate and fully self-contained apartments. This flexible arrangement allows for independence, income generation and privacy.
Embrace the joys of multi-generational living in a TO BE HOME design that celebrates togetherness while respecting individual spaces. Sharing daily moments with your loved ones under one roof, while still enjoying the benefits of privacy, space and independence.
TO BE HOME offers the remarkable opportunity to not only enjoy a modern and bespoke living space but also provides the ability to generate income and greater yields. Income that you can use to enhance your lifestyle, bank for your future or cover future care costs.
TO BE HOME designs offer the unique ability to cater for your future health needs - be that in-house care or live-in care. Our homes provide a comfortable and supportive environment for those requiring assistance, while maintaining the privacy and independence of all occupants.
The possibilities are endless with TO BE HOME. Experience the freedom to adapt your living space to your evolving needs. Discover a world where versatility knows no bounds, where you are in charge of your future housing choices.
TO BE HOME’s sophisticated and bespoke home designs seamlessly integrate accessibility into the architecture.
The result is a crafted and fluid home that can be adapted for different requirements and where accessibility is considered into the design, rather than being an afterthought.
Accessibility is a core principle of our architectural ethos and design approach. The highest Liveable Housing Australia Standard is Platinum, this level is surpassed by TO BE HOME.
We believe that the standards don’t enhance the use of the home enough so we go further giving you more flexibility and options for the future.
Joinery is a core aspect of the home and determines how we interact and use our spaces. TO BE HOME has developed a unique solution that provides this flexibility in the future so that the joinery adapts to your needs.
Lifts are a crucial part of the ability to access a home over multiple levels and every home is equipped to provide lifting requirements when required.
Many think that a lift is the major key in accessibility, however it is only one component of our suite of designs that make TO BE HOME unique.
TO BE HOME believes in reducing any trip hazards in our homes, and for good reason. 62% of all falls within the home result in hospitalisation.
A trip hazard could be a step, a door frame or a drop to get into the shower. TO BE HOME removes all these to ensure your health is maintained.
Every TO BE HOME is wheelchair friendly, from flat entry thresholds to showers you can access. This is very important as the average user of a wheelchair is 70 years old, which is young!
Only 5% of Australian homes are wheelchair friendly - 100% of To BE HOMEs are accessible by wheelchair.
One of the simplest and easiest design rules we have at TO BE HOME is that all of our doors are 920mm wide, which is the largest standard door size.
Standard homes utilise 820mm and 720mm wide doors which becomes an issue if you are trying to get through with a wheelchair or need assistance.
We at TO BE HOME have seen the positive impact of ensuring appliances like ovens and washing machines are at usable heights, and customised for the individual user.
Having appropriate heights reduces stress and strain on the body, limits the opportunity for injury and increases longevity.
We utilise architectural switches that are larger in profile making them easier to use. This is really important for arthritis which generally starts prior to age 60 on average and progressively worsens. This often means switching items on and off can become an issue - not with TO BE HOME.
A TO BE HOME ensures that the master ensuite is fully accessible with the ability for full access to the shower, potential installation of designer aids and joinery that is removable ensuring the vanities are accessible.
TO BE HOME offers the unique opportunity to generate income from your main residence while not compromising on your privacy or lifestyle. Would you like regular income during your retirement, to help fund your travel plans or even to save for your future?
Our designs unlock this potential by creating a design that is flexible and adapts to both your living and income needs. As a pure investment model it maximises the rental yields while keeping your options open for future housing needs.
TO BE HOME designs allow the owner to divide the house into two fully functional and private apartments. You have multiple options, you can live in one and rent the other, or rent out both.
Your rental yield can be maximised by renting both apartments, which generates more than the standard single residential home, and will assist your retirement lifestyle.
Retirement homes and aged care can be extremely expensive and a common reality in Australia is that many fund their care through reverse mortgaging their homes.
TO BE HOME allows you to retain the asset value in your house as well as generating an income. Not only do you live in your home but your financial legacy to your family is protected for future generations.
The unique ability of our designs to divide your home and generate income means that you have multiple options for funding your future health care needs.
You can generate income from your second apartment to fund in-home care or you can utilise live-in care professionals in the second apartment, without impacting your privacy and lifestyle.
