Two Storey Home Builders with Upside - Down Living

Two storey home designs contain a few extra items that a traditional single storey home doesn’t usually need including stairs, balustrading and sometimes even a balcony. While conventional 2 storey homes are designed to keep the bedrooms upstairs for privacy reasons and the living areas downstairs, it is now quite common for two storey home builders Perth to offer Upside-down living or Inverted living options. This basically means the house design is flipped to feature the bedrooms at ground level and living areas upstairs.

Perth two storey home builders like Great Living Homes have several of their 2 storey home designs created in a range of versions which include Upstairs Living, Downstairs Living and options for a Rear Garage or Front Garage. Having these different versions of the same design has proven to be valuable for those clients who don’t really know what they are looking for as it provides a visual example for them to view and consider before making any final decisions.

Throughout their 25 year history Great Living Homes have built hundreds of two storey homes and for many of these projects the clients wanted to take advantage of the spectacular views available from their block; these have included views of our stunning beaches and sunsets, views of Perth city from the hills, views of sprawling landscapes and farms in the countryside or views of the magnificent Swan River. When there is so much to look at from their plot of land, many clients opt for this Upside-down living so they can share the beauty with their family and guests or simply appreciate the panoramic delights with a glass of wine from their balcony.

One important thing to consider if you are thinking about going with the inverted living concept is whether or not your kitchen and dining rooms will remain downstairs or be moved upstairs along with the bedrooms. If you were to have an upstairs kitchen, you need to remember that you will have to carry all of your food shopping upstairs too (unless you can afford to install an elevator), which could becoming annoying! 

Some people with double storey homes like the privacy and security aspects of having bedrooms upstairs, perhaps it is the comfort of knowing nobody is peeking through your bedroom window. Obviously there are other advantages and disadvantages to Upside-down living, and the decision about which is best comes down to individual tastes and living preferences; your 2 storey home builders can assist in making the decision, but ultimately you are the only person who knows what is best for your lifestyle.
