Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Wide block with narrow floorplan 6Sep 04, 2019 11:47 am There are a few things you can do. 1. Most builders have no problem with you extending rooms, you could simple take each room out wider. 2. Position it on one side of the block giving yourself a side yard. Then rearrange/resize windows and doors to make the most of the space. You could then run a private deck along there off the bedroom for example. Do you have a picture of the plans and placement on the block?

But also creating a nice outdoor space/garden would also be good use of space if you didn't like the idea of extra grass to mow. It also lets you have a bit more of a gap between yourself and the neighbour, so instead of 1.5m boundary (or whatever the minimum is for your area) to the fence you could have a 2m gap to the fence on the narrower side.
