Narrow Block Homes

Learn More About Narrow Block Homes In today’s suburban landscape, traditional quarter-acre blocks are getting rare. This change has many reasons, including limited land releases, growing populations, and ever-increasing land prices. For many city dwellers, urban living means building on a narrow block. Transform your lifestyle with a narrow-lot house from Dulger Homes.

Modern Long-Narrow House Plans

Our narrow house plans combine traditional features with modern innovations. We learn lessons from the past while adding exciting new lifestyle features. From open-plan spaces to natural lighting solutions and outdoor accessibility, our homes are made for 21st-century living in Melbourne.

Key Features of Narrow Block Homes

Narrow block homes have the same features as standard houses, just in a different configuration. With less width to work with, architects and designers maximise length and vertical space to create stunning living environments. Our proven narrow house designs share the following features:

• Open Plan Living Areas Open-plan living is central to narrow-block design. Our homes combine the living room, dining room, and kitchen into a single expansive space, which leaves lots of room for daily living and hosting. We knock down walls and bring people together, helping you to live life from a new perspective.
• Large Windows Along with functional living spaces, our narrow-block homes feature large windows throughout. With less width and tighter spaces between properties, narrow blocks need natural light. We create properties with large windows, spilling light into your home to maximise the perception of space.
• Vertical Design When width is limited, height takes on a brand-new dimension. We create homes that feel expansive by thinking vertically and building upwards. Our narrow-block homes create a new sense of space, even on small blocks of land. We make the most of every square metre, from high ceilings to clever storage solutions.

How to Design and Build for a Narrow Block

Designing a modern home on a narrow block can be tricky. With reduced width dimensions and difficult access demands, specialist knowledge is definitely required. At Dulger Homes, our experienced team knows how to bring your land parcel to life. We have built hundreds of homes across the Melbourne suburbs and know what it takes to maximise your property’s potential.

• Windows and sliding doors are your best friend

What Do You Need to Consider When Designing a Narrow Block House?

When choosing a design for your narrow lot, there are many issues to consider. First and foremost, you need a house that fits within your limited width dimensions. The length of your property is also crucial, with many designs stretching living spaces towards the rear of the property. It’s also important to consider neighbouring houses, council regulations, outdoor dining areas, and storage and garage facilities.
