Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 19, 2011 7:44 pm Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have had to build on an end of Court , BattleAxe block. My block is 665 m2 big, 42.24 long, and 15.75 wide, however being at the end of a court, it is basically 42.24 wide and only 15.75 long. This means we have to place the house how you would normally sit it on a normal block. But then moving the garage as there is a 15 x 4 m enveloppe at the bottom of the block. If anyone has had to deal with this could they please let me know how they went about it? Thanks I cant attach a photo but will make the photo my profile pic.. Re: Irregular block. How to build?

I think we are going to go with a thin and long house with a garaged attached ( to the house, ex a study ) on the top right hand corner of the block. All utilities 2m from the back fence, with at least a 4m deep garden ( created by the envelope ) on the one side and around 12 m x 15.75 of backyard. I'll put a photo up once we get a siting. Do you guys know any website i can use to do some sitings? Re: Irregular block. How to build? Please advise 10Mar 20, 2011 7:13 pm Why not get a custom home design?
