Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 22, 2014 7:44 pm Hi, I have just secured a yet-to-be registered 300m2 lot, which has a 10metre frontage. Smaller blocks are becoming more common, and builders are catering for it. In saying that, while most builders have plans with 10metre frontages, mostly they are single story. Does anyone know any buildings which build 2-story houses with a 10mtr frontage? So far I have found Wisdom Homes, and Lucas Homes (although the Lucas one is a modified plan, not an advertised 10m frontage plan) Re: Two story houses with 10 metre frontage 3Nov 22, 2014 11:16 pm Hi Consider a custom design to suit the block......

Re: Two story houses with 10 metre frontage 5Nov 23, 2014 12:11 am you can always find a good house design you want, something fairly close to fit a 10m wide lot, and have it reduced to comply with requirements. however, its recommended that 'downsizing' shouldnt be used too much as the credit given back isnt really worth it sometimes. compare the price of a 10m house, then compare the price of a house downsized to fit 10m lot. it may end up costing a bit more altering house designs to suit the block. Re: Two story houses with 10 metre frontage 6Nov 23, 2014 9:40 am Consider shading issues of neighbours - you may struggle to get it past your councils DCP guidelines. How would you feel if the person next to you shoved a two storey house on a 10m wide block? Bugger all privacy and severely limited natural light. Re: Two story houses with 10 metre frontage 7Nov 23, 2014 10:49 pm +1 on the Wisdom call, they have 7.5m and 8m wide designs called the Abode and the Metro. I'm a huge fan as I've also been looking for house designs to possibly build on a 10m wide block (KDR) There's also a mob called Gold Award Homes, have a lot of 8m wide houses too (or less if that's what your council requires). Check if they build in your area. Lots of designs to browse. CDC guidelines these days says you need a setback of 900mm on a 10m wide block up to a height of 5.5m at the side of the building. If you can live with 2650mm ceiling on the ground floor and 2440mm ceiling on the upper floor then you'll be able get designs up to 8.2m overall width with 5.5m height on the side. @Seano, the people building next to this person (on a brand new lot) are likely to have double storey house as well. The designs are very good these days with keeping most of the light coming in from the front and the back rather than from the sides.

Looks like it's been specifically designed to be certified as Complying Development at 8.2m wide (leaving 900mm sides) and coming in at just under 330m^2 http://www.alkirahomes.com.au/our-homes ... 2&homeid=9 Wisdom Homes Abode 27 KDRB - Inner West Sydney https://wisdomhomesabode27.wordpress.com/ Re: Two story houses with 10 metre frontage 10Dec 04, 2014 9:36 am I had the same problem as the plot of land I have is a 9m frontage. I ended up building a design called the Breeze 25 with Metricon - it's a 25 square double storey home and can fit on something as skinny as an 8.5m frontage. I've seen this house built on a 10m wide plot and it gives a nice side area as well as backyard (depending on how deep your plot is).
