Building on a narrow lot in Perth presents unique challenges such as optimising limited space, maintaining privacy, and complying with local zoning and council regulations. With smaller land sizes, there’s less room for expansive layouts, which can limit design options. However, our team specialises in creative solutions to make the most of your narrow lot. We design custom layouts that enhance space, light, and functionality, providing practical solutions for storage, privacy, and natural flow within a compact footprint.

Maximising space in a narrow home requires strategic design choices that create an open, airy feel. We achieve this by incorporating features like open-plan layouts, high ceilings, and large windows that increase natural light flow. Additionally, multi-functional spaces and clever storage solutions prevent overcrowding, allowing for a spacious feel. Thoughtful material selections, light colour palettes, and mirror placement can further enhance the sense of openness in your home, making it feel larger and more welcoming despite the narrow dimensions.

Yes, building a two-storey home on a narrow lot is a great way to maximise living space without compromising on outdoor areas. We frequently design narrow two-storey homes that incorporate efficient layouts and smart zoning, ensuring your home is both spacious and practical. With thoughtful planning, we balance space for bedrooms, living areas, and storage across both levels. Building upwards not only provides additional room but also creates opportunities for enhanced views, privacy, and a well-defined separation between living and sleeping areas.

Absolutely. Privacy is a top priority in our small lot designs, especially given the proximity to neighbouring properties. We address privacy by incorporating strategic window placements, high fencing, and creative landscaping to create a more secluded environment. Additionally, features like frosted glass, setbacks, and carefully positioned rooms help ensure that you feel comfortable and protected in your home. Our designs also include innovative solutions for minimising noise transfer, creating a peaceful, private living space even on smaller blocks.

Small lot homes benefit from a variety of unique design features that maximise both style and function. We incorporate custom storage solutions like built-in cabinetry and multi-functional furniture to make the most of every square metre. Rooftop gardens, narrow courtyard spaces, and balconies also enhance outdoor living without taking up additional land. For narrow homes, we use light, space-enhancing materials and finishes, and strategically plan interior layouts to provide optimal flow between rooms, making the home feel cohesive, open, and functional.

The timeline for designing and gaining approval for a narrow lot home can vary based on factors like design complexity and council processing times. Typically, the design phase, including consultations and revisions, takes several weeks. After finalising the design, we handle council submissions, which can take additional time depending on the local authority’s schedule. Generally, the entire process from initial design to final approvals may span a few months, but we streamline each step to ensure timely progress. We keep you informed throughout the process, so you’ll always know what to expect.
