From bungalow condos in Pilot Butte to townhomes in Prince George, our NewRock Team has experience building a wide variety of home-styles for Canadians from all walks of life. Over the years, we’ve developed an approach to floorplan-design using the concept of ‘Informed Innovation’: combining the insights we’ve gained from the conversations and life experiences of past buyers with the emerging trends in our industry. 

Functionality

One of the most important things about any home you’re interested in is how it would affect your day-to-day experience. While designing floorplans, our team searches for the features and strategies that will improve the functionality of your home. As Lead Community Designer Stephanie Rann puts it,

“Our primary goal is to create liveable and highly functional homes. By listening to our past buyers, we’ve been able to update our designs along the way to better accomodate the evolving needs of Canadians. We like to call them reality-tested floorplans.”

For example, the Newport — a floorplan offered in Estates-Style Communities throughout Western Canada — provides an open and efficient layout, main-floor laundry, and a two-car garage. Each one of these features was selected to have a positive impact on the lifestyles of our buyers.

In particular, the decision to make main-floor laundry a standard feature was informed by the conversations we’ve had with buyers. Time and time again, we’re reminded that one of the top priorities for downsizers is main-floor living — having the ability to do everything you need and want to do without going downstairs!

Style

Important as it is for your home to be functional, it also matters how you feel about it! It’s a well-known but often overlooked fact that the design and decoration of the spaces we occupy has a massive impact on the way we feel. That’s why, each NewRock floorplan is open, spacious, and highly customizable.

For example, the Dayton — a townhome design offered in communities like Ridgestone Villas in Prince George — provides a sleek and sizeable kitchen that opens up to a large living space. The goal with this floorplan was to create a home-style that is as pleasing to the eye as it is efficient and functional. 

Over the past few years, we’ve recognized the growing desire among home-buyers — both young and old — for open-concept floorplans. Our answer to this demand, the Dayton is the product of the insights we’ve gained from the feedback that we’ve received.

Customization

Plus, no matter which NewRock floorplan you choose, you’ll be able to customize it exactly to your liking. In much the same way that we recognized the demand for main-floor living and open-concept floorplans, we realized that our buyers want homes that reflect their unique sensibilities.

Once you’ve decided to buy a NewRock-built home, you’ll begin choosing from a long list of available options, upgrades, and colours that will transform one of these fantastic templates into a space built just for you. Our team is more than willing to go off-script to deliver you the home you’ve always wanted. Floorplan changes, colours, features, and upgrades — whatever it is, we’ll do our best to accommodate the vision you have for your home! As Tino — a homeowner at the now sold-out Southlands Gate — put it, 

“We didn’t really think we were getting into a custom-built home, but it turned into a custom-built home.”
