HOMES / DOUBLE STOREY

Double Storey Homes Designed for Space and Separation

Create more living space, clearer zoning and stronger street presence with a two-level home shaped around your site and everyday priorities.
SERVICE OVERVIEW

Make confident use of your block and outlook

A double storey home can separate active and quiet zones, free more of the site for outdoor living and create opportunities for views and natural light. The right result depends on resolving circulation, structure and room relationships early—not simply adding another level.

We coordinate the design, documentation, pricing and construction details so both floors work as one practical, cohesive home.

DESIGN PRIORITIES

Planning priorities for a better two-level home

Each decision is considered as part of the complete home, helping the design remain practical, coherent and ready for delivery.

Clear Zoning

Separate social, private and work areas so each level has a clear purpose.

Comfortable Circulation

Position stairs and landings to support easy movement without wasting central floor area.

Light & Outlook

Use upper-level orientation, glazing and voids to bring in light and capture available outlooks.

Efficient Footprint

Balance internal space with gardens, alfresco areas, parking and site access.

Structural Coordination

Resolve spans, wet areas and services early to support buildability and cost clarity.

Integrated Storage

Plan robes, linen, utility areas and practical storage across both floors.
