People have just over a week to secure their dream home design for just $1 with the NSW Pattern Book introductory offer for an architect design of a low-rise home set to end on 31 January.
Since launching in July last year, there have been more than 21,000 pattern designs purchased from the world-leading Pattern Book, with several projects already approved for construction.
There's no surprise the patterns have flown off the shelf when you consider the other things you can buy for one dollar. Other products you can purchase for a dollar or less include a 100g bag of popcorn, one chupa chup lollipop, a can of lentils and a pack of three stainless steel scourers.
After 31 January, the eight low rise designs for terraces, town houses and manor homes will cost $1,000 which is still a fraction of the over $20,000 cost of typical custom architectural fees for a similar home.
People that purchase a low-rise pattern book design also save both time and money by gaining access to a fast-track Complying Development pathway which means applications can be approved in as little as 10 days.
The world-leading NSW Housing Pattern Book also added nine mid-rise designs by leading architects from across Australia and New Zealand for 3 to 6-storey apartment buildings in November last year.
The mid-rise designs are available for $1,500 for small lot and corner lot designs and $2500 for large lot designs until 31 May.
Designs from the NSW Pattern Book have now been purchased in 24 countries across the globe.
Each design is adaptable for different family sizes and living needs. They combine style and practicality delivering modern layouts and energy-smart features - making them faster to build and better to live in.
We are already starting to see patterns turn into homes with eight pattern book homes approved to start construction in Gymea, Cronulla, Corrimal, Engadine, Chipping Norton, Carlton and Baulkham Hills.
The NSW Pattern Book combines good design and a 10-day approval pathway to speed up the delivery of homes in NSW so young people, families and downsizers have somewhere to live in the communities they choose.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said:
"There's no better value for money than getting an architect designed home, with a 10-day complying development pathway for one dollar.
"If you're looking at building your own home the low-rise Pattern Book designs will make the process easier, faster and more affordable.
"These pattern designs give families and builders access to high-quality, architect-designed homes which are easy to build, sustainable and adaptable for different family sizes and housing needs."
NSW Government Architect Abbie Galvin said:
"The NSW Housing Pattern Book offers practical, sustainable designs that integrate seamlessly into diverse neighbourhoods.
"These designs don't just create homes - they help shape vibrant, walkable streets and foster a sense of place."
