In this episode of the Residential Developer Podcast, host Nathan Battishall explores the biggest floor plan trends shaping property development in 2025 and beyond. From the practicality of downstairs bedrooms with ensuites to the growing demand for butler’s pantries, these design choices are transforming how we live. Nathan also highlights the rise of indoor-outdoor courtyards, separated living spaces that feel more like standalone homes, and the integration of wellness zones such as saunas and cold plunges.

Curved walls and finishes are making interiors warmer and more inviting, while multi-purpose rooms are proving invaluable for families and downsizers alike. With pet-friendly design now a key consideration, developers are finding ways to incorporate built-in feeding stations and cosy nooks for furry companions. On top of that, stricter energy efficiency standards and the surge of smart home technology are pushing projects into the future. 

Whether you’re a developer, investor, or simply curious about what’s next in residential design, this episode delivers practical insights you can’t afford to miss.
