Building a new home is one of life’s biggest milestones. For many families, it’s also a chance to create a place that feels like them.
Getting into your first home in Western Australia is a big deal. And finding a place you love is even more important.
That’s why Celebration Homes, known for its award-winning customer experience, has helped thousands of WA families create homes that feel uniquely theirs.
For Priyanka and Madhav, who recently built with Celebration Homes, cultural connection was at the heart of their journey.
“We didn’t want to go with any other builder,” says Priyanka.
Madhav and Priyanka made a home in Western Australia that felt more them with Celebration Homes.
Why cultural design matters in WA homes
Australia is more multicultural than ever, with almost one in three people born overseas. As our communities grow and diversify, so too do the ways we imagine home.
Modern floorplans are reflecting the many traditions and lifestyles that shape life in WA. For some families that means a prayer or temple room. For others, it’s all about a bigger kitchen where everyone can gather.
Research from realestate.com.au in 2024 found that 7 in 10 Indian Australians who have been here for less than five years and are looking to buy, are choosing to build new.
For many, building offers the freedom to create a home that blends culture and modern living.
Celebration Homes is helping more families achieve exactly that, designing floorplans that make everyday life easier and more joyful.
Designing for tradition and togetherness
Prayer rooms like Priyanka and Madhav’s are just one of the features families look for.
Large kitchens with plenty of storage and space for entertaining are also high on the list.
“Everyone loves our kitchen,” says Madhav.
“It’s bright, spacious and we have lots of drawers and cabinets.”
Realestate.com.au's research also showed how important it is to design homes that can host extended family and support multi-generational living.
That includes guest suites, especially ground-floor rooms that suit older relatives, and features like lockable bathrooms, which may feel more familiar and comfortable for visiting family.
Celebration Homes offers a wide range of floorplans that cater to these needs, from kitchens with sculleries for entertaining to additional bedrooms and adaptable spaces for prayer or guests.
Kitchens that are designed for hosting guests are just one way of creating homes that celebrate culture.
Bringing culture into the modern floorplan
For Priyanka and Madhav, the design process felt easier because they worked with a builder that understood their culture.
“We do have a different culture, which we wanted to feel like a part of our home,” says Priyanka.
She remembers how her new homes consultant who took the time to listen and understand their unique needs from the very first meeting.
“That was the first thing he asked as well: ‘Did you want any temple or anything like that?’ because he knew about it,” she says.
“And I thought, wow, he knew, because not many people ask about it.”
Spaces designed for prayer and traditions were important features for Madhav and Priyanka's new home.
“Cultural awareness is shaping modern WA floorplans in new ways,” says Jeet Singh, Sales Development Manager at Celebration Homes.
Adaptable spaces that can flex with family needs, whether as a prayer area, guest suite or study, are becoming a priority, he adds.
“Features like larger kitchens with sculleries are also high on the list for many modern households.”
This awareness means today’s homes are not just modern. They’re meaningful.
‘It feels like home the moment we step through the door’
For Priyanka, having a house that embraced her and Madhav’s culture made all the difference.
“It feels like home the moment we step through the door,” she says.
Stories like theirs show how thoughtful design can honour traditions, welcome family, and create spaces that feel truly personal.
