Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 25, 2021 6:00 pm I’m considering doing a KDR but my lot is an odd one. It’s at the end of a T- cul de sac and the block is 40.5m wide but only 18.5m long however only the first 15m of the width is the front yard (see pic for better explanation) From my local council website it looks like my required setbacks are 5.5m from front and 0.9m from side but with my lot I believe the rear is technically viewed as a side boundary as the house is currently only 1.8m from the back fence. Really struggling to find anything that would suit and not even sure if I could just put a narrow lot house sideways on it as I’ve seen this done on nearby houses with the same shaped block Can anyone suggest any big builders I don’t really want to go with a custom build Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Wide shallow house designs 2Sep 27, 2021 5:02 am Aliidra I’m considering doing a KDR but my lot is an odd one.

Google it - 19 Lorraine Ave Padstow Heights. You will see from the aerial that the garage had to be twisted and oriented towards the road. A bit odd but it worked. It recently sold so here is a a link and you can see the floor plan - https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/prop ... -136504558 The reason I mention this is that I see from your posts that you seem to like the Clarendon designs. I know the owners of Clarendon extremely well and from a project home perspective they would be a good choice for you. If you like I can make an introduction and see if they can appoint someone to adapt one of their designs to your site like they did with mine. if you want me to do that just PM me and I can do it today.
