Lisa Goodsall, Metricon's National Display Home and Studio M Manager, sits down with Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to tackle a listener dilemma: how do you build a brand-new home in a suburb full of older houses without it looking out of place?

From roof pitch and window proportions to cladding and colour palettes, Lisa shares how to respect a street's heritage while still designing a modern, open-plan family home. 

Moments you’ll hear: 
Lisa's role overseeing 150+ display homes nationally 
Designing for different life stages and budgets 
Listener dilemma: Susannah from Ipswich on her knock-down rebuild 
How to echo a streetscape's character (roof pitch, windows, cladding) without copying it 
Blending old-world proportions with modern open-plan living 
Queenslander-inspired touches: verandas, balconies, exposed beams 
Why display homes let buyers "try before they buy" 

Thank you for listening ❤️ before you leave…
