Narrow Block House Designs

What to look for in narrow lot house designs

Modern, well-designed narrow lot homes can be spacious, comfortable and filled with natural light. By selecting a home design that's intended for a narrow block, you can maximise the land available and still achieve a comfortable, spacious family home.

Whether you've already purchased your block, are exploring mortgage options or are researching house and land packages in new estates, there are some essential factors to consider when choosing the right narrow block house design.

Maximising space

Narrow block home design makes the most of every square metre, with smart layouts that that offer uncluttered living spaces. Double storey designs can provide additional living space without increasing the footprint of your home. Look for a design with ample space - extras like a study nook, multiple living areas, powder room or a butler's pantry can really make a difference to the sense of available space.

Open plan living areas

Open plan home designs create airy, light-filled spaces that are ideal for south east Queensland's sub-tropical climate. They also offer flexibility in how the space is used, especially when it comes to interior design and furniture placement. Look for designs with a seamless kitchen, lounge and dining room like the Alpine 276-D30.

Integrated indoor-outdoor living

Living areas with doors that open into alfresco areas or the backyard add an extra sense of space and seamless connection between the inside of your home and the outdoors. Our narrow block home designs all feature an alfresco area extending from the main living area so you can enjoy indoor-outdoor living all year round.

Innovative storage solutions

Storage space is an important consideration for narrow block homes but there are plenty of creative storage solutions to neatly store your possessions. Designs with a butler's pantry offer considerable more kitchen storage while a linen cupboard and laundry storage help to keep everyday essentials out of sight. Our double storey narrow block house designs also offer practical and convenient under stair storage.

Flexible floorplans

Our narrow house plans can all be flipped to suit your block orientation and preferences. Plus several designs have different floor plan options for 10m+ or 12.5m+ depending on your block width. The Brighton 347-D37 for 12.5m+ wide blocks offers the option of a guest bedroom, fifth bedroom or study.

Narrow block homes in Brisbane and SEQ

This affordability offers people the opportunity to enter the property market while also being able to live in a brand new, modern home. For this reason, narrow lot homes are often attractive for first home buyers, investors and downsizers.
