Double Storey House Designs for Modern Living
A double storey house offers Australian families a smart way to maximise space while maintaining style and comfort. It maximises block size, separates living areas efficiently and enhances architectural appeal. A well-designed double storey home also allows for better airflow, improved views and increased property value.
Hotondo Homes offers a range of double storey house designs to suit various lifestyles and family needs. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of choosing a double storey home and look at some of our most popular double storey floor plans, designed to maximise living space and enhance modern lifestyles.
Why Choose a Double Storey Home?
Maximising Space on Smaller Blocks
As land sizes decrease, a double storey home allows families to expand their living space by building upwards. This layout maintains outdoor areas like gardens and entertainment spaces while providing a spacious interior. Our double storey house designs efficiently utilise square metres to combine functionality with style, ensuring that every part of the home is used effectively.
Creating Distinct Living Zones
One of the main advantages of a double storey design is the separation of living zones. Bedrooms are typically located upstairs for privacy, creating a peaceful retreat away from the main social areas. The ground floor is designed for everyday activities, including open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, making it the perfect space for entertaining guests or enjoying family time.
Aesthetic Appeal and Natural Light
Double storey homes provide a striking architectural presence, allowing for creative designs that make a statement. Large windows on both levels enhance natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Well-placed windows, skylights and high ceilings contribute to a modern and stylish look while improving energy efficiency.
Elevated Views
For those in scenic locations, a double storey home offers the advantage of elevated views, making the most of your surroundings and bringing in picturesque landscapes. Whether overlooking a beach or cityscape, an upper-level balcony or large windows can provide breathtaking views while increasing the overall appeal of the home.
