House Plans With a Big Pantry
North is always up, like Google Maps. Every plan here is turned so north points up the page.

These house plans are ranked by the pantry alone, biggest first. Looking for a walk in pantry? The figure is the pantry area measured on the floor plan, so open a plan and see the pantry drawn before you count on it: the same reading can be a room you walk into or a long run of cupboards.
Every reading is measured off the floor plan itself, tracing each robe, linen cupboard, pantry and store room and converting it to square metres through the plan's own width and depth. A reading is approximate and shown to one decimal place. Garage bays, alfresco cupboards, laundries and bedroom floor area are not counted as storage. A plan with no pantry drawn on it is not listed here. For the whole reading with the robes, the linen press and the store rooms counted in, see house plans with lots of storage.
The biggest pantry on this page is 15.9 m², and the middle plan carries 12.3 m².
This page lists 1,453 plans, from builders including Integrale Homes, Coral Homes, Ausmar Homes, Kaplan Homes, priced from $152k to $1.0M, from builders rated 2.7 to 5.0 on Google.
Architect reviewed for real Australian blocks
Dudils checks each approved plan for the direction its living areas need to face, the block envelope it fits, and whether the garage or driveway placement supports passive solar design. It is a shortlist for better conversations with your builder, designer or architect.

Summer: eaves block sun
Winter: lower angle lets sun in
In winter the low northern sun streams through north facing windows for free heat. In summer a roof overhang blocks the high sun. Good orientation cuts your energy bills with no mechanical systems.

Questions about the storage readings
Does a big pantry reading mean a walk in pantry?
Not on its own. The reading is the measured floor area of the pantry, whether the builder has drawn a room you walk into or a run of cupboards along one wall. Open the plan and look at the drawing before you decide.
How is the storage on these plans measured?
Every robe, linen cupboard, pantry and store room is traced on the floor plan itself and converted to square metres through the plan's own width and depth. The reading is approximate and is shown to one decimal place.
What counts as storage and what does not?
Robes, linen cupboards, pantries and dedicated store rooms count. Garage bays, alfresco cupboards, laundries and bedroom floor area do not, so the figure is the built in storage rather than every space a box could go in.
