Narrow Lot Home Designs

Explore narrow block house plans

A narrow block of land doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice space or style! Our narrow lot home designs make the most of available land to create a quality home you’ll love.
The definition of a narrow lot varies but is generally accepted as being less than 12 metres across. We offer a range of double storey homes that use the vertical height to allow 3-4 bedrooms as well as generous living space. Some are suitable for ‘zero lot’ blocks (where you are able to build very close to the property boundary).

Like all Rawson and Thrive home designs, there’s no need to choose between style and comfort as all our designs create an ideal balance between function with beauty. Feel at home with our Rawson or Thrive home designs.

FAQs

If your narrow lot means you’ve been able to purchase land more affordably, this is great news for being able to create your overall home more affordably. Narrow lots can also mean less outdoor space to maintain, including relatively unused side gardens.

What is the best way to maximise space on a narrow lot?

Narrow lot home designs meet the challenge of using available space in a smart way. Often this is achieved through more open plan living, with minimal or no space wasted on hallways or vast entranceways. Two storey home designs will make the most of vertical rather than horizontal space.

What is the meaning of narrow lot?

There are different definitions of a narrow lot but, for practical purposes, we consider any land that is narrower than 12 metres across.

Should I have a driveway or a garage in my narrow lot design?

Some narrow lot home designs include a driveway and garage however this will take up land space that you might prefer to use as living areas. Two storey narrow lot homes have more potential for including spaces to park your car.
