Harkaway Homes Project 5

Harkaway Homes brings the best of the past into the present by reinventing the look and feel of Victorian and early Federation-style homes. With integrity of design, floor plans that are 100 percent flexible and a highly regarded brand name, the company offers the charm and character of yesteryear with the conveniences of modern-day living.

Established in 1986, Harkaway Homes operates throughout Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Canberra and southern Queensland. With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, multiple Master Builders Association (MBA) awards and a reputation for excellence, Harkaway Homes is acknowledged as an industry leader in traditional Australian housing.

Harkaway Homes offers nine home styles to choose from. Each possessing old-world charm and perfect profiles, they can be built to the dimensions of 144m2 and above.

Your choice of home will sit proudly on your inner-suburban block, established suburb, or acreage. With the choice of an adaptable floor plan, you have the ability to customise your home’s layout to suit your personal requirements, at no extra charge.

The most important factor in recreating traditional Australian homes is their height. With an exclusive high-wall system, Harkaway Homes can achieve old-fashioned exterior height without the impracticalities of overly high ceilings. Opt for the popular ceiling height of 2.7m or to comfortably accommodate ornate cornices and ceiling rosettes, a three-metre-high ceiling will work best.

Another important part of reproducing a traditional Australian home is the verandah. Harkaway Homes’ exclusive highwall system will allow your verandah to be comfortably positioned next to the home. Correct falls and profiles are easily achieved by the team, who will ensure that your home maintains character, without sacrificing natural light. Harkaway Homes’ verandah options come in many shapes and sizes and are a great way to customise your new home.

A Harkaway Home can be built using the project-managed method – wherein the project is registered to you as an owner-builder and all the work is performed by subcontractors – or you can engage a licensed builder to lead the project. The majority of clients choose the project-managed option, which the company greatly encourages to maximise savings while maintaining a high-quality finish.

Located in Pakenham’s SouthEast Business Park, Harkaway Homes’ head office showcases one of the striking exteriors included in the company’s Pavilion Roofline series, as well as a comprehensive photographic display of the company’s past projects. The showroom features an interactive theatre, as well as floor plans and additional build information. Located next to the office is an equally impressive Gabled Victorian Traditional display home, which you can walk through at your leisure.

Harkaway Homes provides its clients with everlasting designs and offers a benchmark that is unmatched within the Australian housing industry. With classic exteriors and perfect profiles, the company’s homes feature the highest quality in design and materials. Offering outstanding service, Harkaway Homes gives you the opportunity to breathe life back into originality.
