Block sizes are becoming smaller,
so it is essential to make the most out of every inch when building your custom home.
Building a new home is an exciting decision, and your perfect home should compliment your family’s lifestyle. If you are looking for a custom home design in Perth, the first step is to find the right piece of land that suits your needs in the perfect location.
Narrow block houses have made great strides over the years and bring a range of unique challenges when building a home in Perth. Here are some tips you can implement to improve narrow home designs. For many, a narrow block may be the best way to move into the perfect area for your family.
As the leading custom home builders in Perth, Zircon Living has a lot of experience working with narrow spaces to create dream homes. We believe that you can build a fabulous family home on a smaller home without compromising on comfort. Here are some benefits of building on a narrow block.
Consider building vertically
For narrow-block home designs, building up is a great option. Though the footprint of your home might be smaller, a second storey can greatly increase your floor plan area.
The Mosaic Estate Townhouse is a classic example of a narrow, two-storey house with large living spaces downstairs and quiet, private sleeping areas upstairs.
Get Creative with Your Layout
You can create luxury in small areas by using your imagination when designing for narrow blocks of land. It might seem impossible to fit three bedrooms, a master bedroom, two bathrooms and a large family area on such a small piece of land.
Just look at our Alex home design; it’s a great example of how you can maximise every square meter of your space. At a small 10.5m frontage, the design is able to create facade interest using feature brick has three bedrooms!
Less is More
Narrow blocks are usually considerably less expensive, so you will have more money to put into the build. Take a look at our display homes and show homes in Perth to get some ideas of what you can do to get bang for your buck.
As custom home builders in Perth, we also work to optimise your space to reduce clutter. The benefit to this is it will make it much easier to take care of your home, as fewer surfaces need cleaning. Because you have smaller blocks of land, it’ll also be easier to manage your garden. You will spend less time trimming the grass or cleaning up leaves. All this means that you will be able to get more time to do what you love.
Use Every Corner
Many assume that narrow-lot living means you need to compromise on space. At Zircon Living, we know creative ways to create the illusion of more space.
Well-considered floorplans, creative storage space, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows can ensure efficient use of space, creating a luxurious home on a limited lot.
Zircon Living has a range of narrow home designs that will suit a variety of lifestyles and needs. If you are building a custom home for your family, we want to help you futureproof the design.
