FAQs
What are the benefits of choosing a double-storey home design in Sydney?
A double-storey home gives you the ability to maximise your block size — especially in popular Sydney suburbs where land can be limited or costly. With two levels, you gain extra living space, better separation between living and sleeping zones, and the opportunity to take in views and breezes from above. It’s also a smart solution for compact or sloping blocks commonly found throughout Sydney.
Are your designs available across Sydney?
Yes. As trusted double-storey home builders in Sydney, we build homes across the region — from the North West and the South to the Northern Beaches, the West, and beyond. Our local teams understand the council overlays, site conditions, and regulations that shape how and where you can build. We’ll work with you to tailor a double-storey design that suits your block, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Are your double-storey homes suitable for narrow or compact blocks?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of double-storey house plans in Sydney that are purposefully designed for narrow and small lots, particularly in urban and infill locations. These designs prioritise smart layouts, natural light, and flexible living zones — all within a smaller footprint.
Can I customise the layout of my double-storey home?
Yes — every double-storey home design can be tailored to suit your lifestyle, block, and aesthetic. Whether you want to reconfigure rooms, add extra bedrooms, or personalise your façade and finishes, your New Home Consultant will guide you through it. We’ll also support you through your colour selections — from fittings and fixtures to materials and paint choices — so your new home reflects your vision, inside and out.
Do you offer designs with upstairs living or master suites?
Yes. Many of our double-storey house designs in Sydney feature master suites on the upper level, along with flexible layouts that include upstairs living spaces, balconies, and teen or guest retreats. These are ideal for families looking for privacy, separation, or future flexibility in the way they live.
Can I visit a display home to see double-storey designs in person?
Yes — we have a selection of double-storey display homes in Sydney and surrounds that showcase a range of layouts, styles, and inclusions. Visiting a display home allows you to see how the space flows, experience the finishes up close, and picture how your own home could take shape. You can find your nearest location via our Display Homes page or by speaking with your local G.J. Gardner team.
Does G.J. Gardner offer knockdown rebuilds in Sydney?
Yes — we offer a full knockdown rebuild service in Sydney. If you love your location but your home no longer suits your lifestyle, we can help you start fresh on the same block. From demolition to design and build, our local teams will guide you through the entire process with customisable floorplans, fixed-price contracts, and expert advice tailored to your site.
