FAQs
What are the benefits of building a double-storey home in Hobart?
Double-storey homes let you maximise your space, which is especially handy for Hobart’s mix of narrow city blocks and hilly terrain. They’re great for separating living and sleeping zones, capturing water or mountain views, and creating functional layouts that feel open without spreading out. Plus, more elevation often means better sun exposure and airflow, which goes a long way in Tasmania’s cool climate. If you’re after design ideas, take a look at our inspiration page.
Can I customise the layout of a double-storey home design?
Absolutely. Every double-storey house plan in Hobart can be customised to suit your lifestyle. Whether you want to flip the living zones, rework the kitchen flow, or add a cosy upstairs retreat, our New Homes Consultants will work with you to bring your ideas to life, right down to the finishing touches.
Are your designs suited to Hobart’s climate?
Yes—they’re built with the weather in mind. From insulation to smart glazing, our double-storey home designs help keep warmth in during Hobart’s famously cold winter months. They also allow for cooling airflow during summer. Learn more about energy-efficient features and sustainable home design here.
Do you offer compact two-storey house designs for smaller lots?
We sure do. Not every block has the luxury of space, so our small double-storey house designs are made to feel roomy and connected without needing a huge block of land. Great for inner-city builds, growing families or downsizers who still want comfort without compromise.
Do you offer designs with upstairs living or master suites?
Yes. Many of our designs include two-storey house plans with balconies, upstairs lounge areas, or parents’ retreats. These features are ideal for making the most of views, gaining privacy from the main living zone, or simply enjoying a quieter space away from the chaos of daily life.
