Narrow Lot Home Designs Perth

Within Western Australia there is a lot of space. But within Perth we are seeing an increase in the amount of people buying a decrease; a decrease in block size that is. Perth is seeing a rise in the amount of people purchasing, what is referred to, as a narrow lot. These are lots that are smaller and have narrower frontages. Sometimes even as narrow as 9m, therefore we see that Perth home builders are creating very functional and beautiful narrow lot home designs Perth.

When thinking narrow lot homes it can be easy to think that the home must be small, but with these incredible narrow lot designs Perth you can see how you can still live big on a narrow lot. Here is a few ways you can increase your narrow lot potential when designing your home.

1. Use Glass – Large Glass windows, and large glass doors to the exterior will make the outside of your home come in. Flooding your home with natural light will bring a sense of space to what can often seem like tight spaces. Sitting in your lounge room or dining area looking out large windows (or doors) over your garden areas can bring a sense that your lot is bigger than it is.
2. Make the indoors, outdoors and visa versa – When it comes to a narrow lot home you cannot just get a home design and slap it down. Good Perth home builders will design the home with the lot in mind the whole time. Every bit of space on that lot needs to be considered and used to its highest potential. So how do you make the indoors outdoors? Consider the living room and balcony. Maybe you use bi-fold doors so you can open up the space and make the living and balcony become one. Or if a pool was involved you could do the same and create the illusion of endless space.
3. Think up – Obviously with a narrow block (possibly even 9m) you have some restrictions in how wide you can go for your house design. But instead of thinking width, why not think height. You can create more space by building up. Great Living Homes specialises in two storey narrow Lot homes. They have the smarts and technology to build two story narrow lot homes faster and cheaper than most builders. By building a two story home you have the ability to incorporate high ceilings and even high window openings to create the feeling of space. From the outside your house may seem smaller, but from the inside it will feel like a palace.

When thinking about narrow lot home designs Perth and perth home builders, think great living homes.

How to find Best Home Builders in Perth

If you are thinking of building your new home in the Perth metro area or surrounding suburbs, why not choose local Perth builders to undertake your construction project? Contrary to popular beliefs, using smaller Perth home builders does not necessarily mean your costs to build will increase or that you will receive a substandard home.

The main benefit of using a smaller local builder is the fact that they have fewer projects on the go at one time which in turn means trades people aren’t being rushed to complete one job so they can get to the next job. This contributes to a higher quality finish with more attention paid to the finer details, unlike with the bigger home builders of Perth. Another important difference between small and big builders is the customer service aspect- because bigger builders have hundreds of clients, they need to be very process-driven and they don’t have the ability to tailor their customer service to suit each individual client as that would be too time-consuming (and time is money). With smaller Perth builders like Great Living Homes (who only build in the Perth- Mandurah region), fewer clients means the staff get to know each and every client personally and build strong working relationships with them.

Great Living Homes are a small, family-owned company based in Mandurah (south of Perth). By establishing several industry partners such as In 2 Steel and Proline Products, as well as large suppliers like Dowell Windows, Stratco and M&B Building Products; Great Living Homes remain a well-respected and reputable builder after more than 20 years in business. We obtain competitive pricing on our building materials and we use local tradespeople who are experienced in building in Perth’s climate and are familiar with local building regulations such as Bushfire Attack Levels and Coastal conditions. All of these factors contribute to the high standard of building that we are passionate about.

What distinguishes Great Living Homes from other Perth home builders is our unique technology and method of building two storey homes. Unlike any other Australian builder, we build two storey homes by constructing the upper floor on the ground before lifting it with hydraulic jacks into the air and completing the build underneath it. We have discovered that this method can cut weeks off the standard build time (when there are no other delays out of our control), it creates a safer and more accessible work site as there is no requirement for scaffolding or working at heights and it can save our clients’ money as we don’t need to include the costs of scaffolding, cranes or other expensive machinery in the price of the home.
