More space. More comfort. More ways to feel at home.
No two families live the same way, and that’s the beauty of a double-storey home. While most double-storey builds tend to pop up in metro areas where space is limited, they’re a great option for any growing family looking for more room to move, connect and unwind.
From breakfast on the balcony to homework at the kitchen bench and weekend movie nights that go late, our two storey house plans are built for real life —with all the warmth, flow and functionality that make a house feel like home.
