A single storey home is a freestanding house designed across one level. With no stairs, these homes are ideal for easy living, flexibility and future-proofing. Whether you are building your first home or downsizing, single storey homes remain a popular choice for families, investors and retirees alike.

Known for their open layouts, seamless transitions between zones and easy access to outdoor living, these homes offer great value for money. They are also highly adaptable, with options to suit narrow blocks, larger families or downsizers.

Why Build a Duplex?

Duplex living offers a smart mix of lifestyle and financial benefits. Here’s why many Australians are choosing this path:

Live in one, rent the other

Offset your mortgage or create long-term rental income with minimal ongoing effort.
Ideal for extended family

Keep loved ones close by with separate, self-contained spaces.
Stronger return on investment

Duplex builds offer higher rental yields and capital growth on suitable blocks.
Smart use of land

Create two quality homes without the cost or footprint of a traditional subdivision.
