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.

Maximising the Potential of Your Narrow Lot House Plan

If you’re building on a narrow lot, our architects and designers make the following recommendations:

  • Windows and sliding doors are your best friend
  • Flood your living room and kitchen with light
  • Use mirrors to create the illusion of space
  • High ceilings make any space look bigger
  • Create flexible spaces that fulfil many roles
  • Choose light furniture and avoid clutter
  • Prioritise flow between indoor and outdoor spaces

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.

FAQs

What size block would classify as a narrow block?

A narrow block typically starts around 7m wide and may stretch to 12m or more. At Dulger Homes, we have narrow-block house designs at 7m and 10m narrow-block house designs and countless options for larger properties.

Will my house design work on my narrow block?

There are many things to consider when choosing a home design. If your narrow block is 7m or more and council requirements allow you to build within a certain distance of your neighbours, we can find a solution.

Can I make my narrow home feel bigger with an outside entertaining space?

One of the best ways to make your home feel bigger is with an alfresco dining and entertaining space. Our houses have perfect flow between indoor and outdoor areas, so your home feels bigger, and you spend more time outside.

Will I have enough storage in a narrow block home?

Storage space is essential for every modern family. Our narrow block designers always prioritise functionality, and storage room is a big part of the equation.
