Building a house on a narrow block of land is a fantastic option for those limited to smaller blocks.
A more narrow home naturally lends itself to open-plan living and two storeys.
Homes on narrow blocks also tend to have smaller backyards, which is ideal for those looking for low-maintenance greenery.
When you have a larger block of land and need a little more space in your home, granny flats are the way to go.
These small homes are perfect for family members to utilise during various stages of life - from teens learning to be independent, to young couples saving money and older relatives needing to be close.
Depending on council regulations, you may even be able to rent your granny flat out, providing extra income.
You could even move into your granny flat and rent your main house out!
Single storey homes are perfect for home-buyers opting for a cosier layout.
Generally, these are easier to maintain and maximise the space available.
You can also stay in a single storey home for longer, as there are no stairs to worry about as you age.
The biggest benefit of building a double storey home on a small block is that you can effectively double the living space by adding that extra floor.
Double storey houses work well for families requiring more than two bedrooms, as an entire floor can be bedrooms if needed, with the living spaces on a separate floor.
Building ‘up’ instead of ‘out’ can also free up space to give you a larger garden, if you’ve got a green thumb.
Duplexes and dual occupancy homes are for those wanting the benefits of a granny flat, without having the spare land to do so.
Dual occupancy homes are extremely customisable and can be as different or as similar as you’d like.
They offer the opportunity for family members to gain independence and can also be another income stream without the high maintenance costs.
