A custom-designed double-storey home built for a young couple with two children, designed to make the most of a narrow 10m x 40m block. This home blends smart spatial planning with modern finishes, featuring a designer kitchen with herringbone splashback, 14mm stone benchtops, and 2.7m high ceilings. Timber stairs with glass railings lead to a rumpus room upstairs, while the master suite boasts a wetroom-style ensuite. The result is a spacious, light-filled family home that maximises every square metre.

Designed and built from scratch, this double-storey home in Banyo was created for a young family who wanted a modern home that didn’t feel limited by a narrow block. The floor plan was carefully crafted to include wide entry and hallway spaces, giving an immediate sense of openness despite the 10m frontage.
The ground floor features a spacious open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, with sliding doors opening to the backyard. The kitchen is a showpiece — complete with 14mm stone benchtops, a herringbone tiled splashback, ample storage, and a functional layout perfect for entertaining. A smart entry door lock adds modern convenience.
Upstairs, timber stairs with glass railings lead to a rumpus room that gives the kids their own retreat. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious wetroom-style ensuite with large-format tiles. The family bathroom follows the same high standard of finishes.
Additional features:
– 2.7m high ceilings throughout
– Large-format tiles in bathrooms for a contemporary look
– Double garage with internal access
– Sliding door access to outdoor living spaces
This project demonstrates how narrow blocks can still deliver open, luxurious living with the right design expertise.
