Signature Homes Cardrona Plan

    A peaceful, modern home with a self-contained flat built in.

    Cardrona is made for a slower, simpler way of life. Its Japandi-inspired style is pared back and relaxed, with nothing that doesn't need to be there. It's a home that feels settled and easy from the moment you arrive. The exterior has real presence. Two sharp rooflines sit side by side, with dark vertical cladding on one side and crisp white brick on the other. A large black-framed window frames a warm view inside and lets in plenty of daylight.

    Inside, the kitchen, dining and living area flow together as one open space. A long hallway keeps the living areas and bedrooms apart, so there's always a calm spot to retreat to. The main home has three bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The master suite sits at the far end for extra privacy, with a walk-in robe and ensuite. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath serves the other bedrooms. There's also an internal laundry and internal-access garage.

    At the other end of the home is a fully self-contained flat. It has its own bedroom, living area, kitchenette, bathroom and laundry. It's a great fit for multigenerational living, guests or a home-and-income setup.

    More From Your Section

    Cardrona gives you more ways to use your home. Live close to family while everyone has their own space, host guests for longer stays, or rent out the flat for extra income. It's one home with the flexibility of two.

    Cardrona is about living well with less. The simple styling, soft tones and smart layout make it feel peaceful and uncluttered every day. It's a stylish home that won't date, with room to grow as your needs change.

    House Plans Frequently Asked Questions

    Signature Homes House Plans are designed to act as a great starting point to planning your new home. They offer modern layouts and are customisable to your section and your preferences.

    What’s the difference between using my own architect vs. Signature Homes in-house designers?

    At Signature Homes, you don’t need to choose between great design and practical build expertise. Our in-house designers work closely with our quantity surveyors and estimators from the outset, helping ensure your home is designed to suit your site, your lifestyle and your budget.

    This integrated approach can also help avoid costly redesigns later. We often meet clients who have invested in architectural plans, only to discover the design is significantly over budget once it is priced for construction.

    All of our designers are qualified, and we use industry-leading design and pricing technology to provide our clients with further confidence and certainty. 

    Download your guide to designing & building your home with Signature Homes. 

    How do construction loans work?

    A construction loan is paid out in stages as your home is built – these are called progress payments. You’ll usually only pay the interest during the build, which helps with cash flow.

    Some lenders offer special construction rates, so choosing the right one can save you money.

    Signature Homes partners with Squirrel Mortgages to help our clients get pre-approval for their build. Book in your free finance chat with a Squirrel Mortgages expert here. 

    Can I customise your house plans?

    Yes – all our plans can be tailored to suit your section, lifestyle, and budget. Work with our in-house team to design a home that works for you. 

    You’ll also have access to a Signature Homes interior designer to personalise your finishes.

    How does your design process work?

    We always start with a meet-and-greet.

    This can happen wherever suits you - on your site, at your office, or at ours. We're flexible, and it's all part of our Signature Service.

    It's a chance for us to get to know you and what you're after in a home. From there, we use the latest design technology to develop your plans, making sure we fully understand your brief before we move into pricing.

    Building your new home is easier with a Signature Homes Building Guide.

    Choose the build service that suits you and download your guide for a clear, step-by-step overview of the design, consenting and construction process.

    Already have land? We'll meet you on-site — free of charge — to walk the property and understand what you're trying to achieve, so we can design a home that works with your section rather than against it.

    Still looking for land? We have access to plenty of sections that aren't actively marketed, or are coming to market soon. Get in touch with your local Signature team and tell them what you're after.

    Can I bring my own plans?

    Yes. If you've already got plans - whether they're concept sketches or fully drawn - we can work with them or help you refine them to suit your site and budget.

    We also offer an in-house design service. Because we're designing specifically to your site and to current build costs in New Zealand, this often saves our clients time and money down the track.

    What building guarantees do you offer?

    We offer market leading guarantees designed to protect you at every stage of your build, including a fixed price and a guaranteed completion date, so you know what you're paying and when you'll move in.

    Our guarantees are independently bonded through Residential Indemnity Ltd, which means they're backed by a third party rather than by us alone - and they're available only to clients building with Signature Homes.
