A dual occupancy is a property development that involves building two separate dwellings on the same block of land. It’s a great option for developers looking to maximise their land’s value or for homeowners wanting a new home with the potential to generate rental income.

As trusted dual occupancy builders, Geelong Homes’ expert team will work with you to create a new home solution that maximises space, functionality, and value while delivering high-quality craftsmanship.

Dual occupancy homes are a smart solution for maximising the value of your block.

By building two homes on a single block, you can create opportunities for rental income or earn a profit through selling the second dwelling.

These homes are perfect for multi-generational families, allowing extended family to stay close while enjoying their own space.

They also provide a great way to downsize without leaving your neighbourhood or can be a good option for savvy investors looking to optimise land use.

Our Terrace house design range offers the ability to maximise smaller sites, particularly on narrow blocks, without compromising on space or quality, making them an excellent option in urban developments or for those looking to build in sought-after locations.

The compact form ensures every square metre is used efficiently, so features like an open-plan living and large windows are made possible to bring light and a sense of openness into the home.

Geelong Homes has three Terrace designs to choose from, each featuring a clever design that maximises space and functionality while maintaining strong visual appeal.

We understand that every family, location, and lifestyle is unique. That’s why we offer some customisation of our dual occupancy home plans.

However, if our existing floorplans don’t suit your block or lifestyle then we can discuss designing custom floorplans with our Hamlan Homes brand.

Our Terrace range comes with two facade options, a Classic or Traditional façade, and standard inclusions that add value to your dual occupancy home.

These include premium products such as a durable Colorbond steel roof, European appliances from Artusi, and quality carpet and underlay that stand up to the daily wear and tear of busy households.

You can read more about our standard and upgraded inclusions here.

When selecting a dual-living home design, several key factors should be taken into account to suit your property and ensure the home meets both your immediate needs and long-term goals:

Block Size and Orientation

When thinking about dual occupancy development, the orientation of the block is important and will make a big difference to the comfort of the residents as well as the running cost of the home.

Consider how the home will take advantage of natural light, airflow, and views, as well as the placement of outdoor areas like courtyards or balconies.

Geelong Homes’ designs can fit lot widths of up to 18.6 metres with a minimum depth of 29 metres.

Also think about how you’ll use each area of the home, including open-plan living zones, storage options, and the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Lifestyle Requirements

Consider your family size, daily routines, and future needs. Do you need extra bedrooms for guests or children, a dedicated home office, or multiple living areas? The design should reflect your current and anticipated lifestyle.

Practical Considerations

Think about parking requirements, storage space, and access to utilities. If the property is located in an urban area, we will check for any local council or zoning restrictions that may influence your design choice.

Geelong Homes’ variety of dual occupancy house plans allow you to choose according to your priority: do you need a fourth bedroom? plenty of storage space? or a connection to the outside with your own alfresco?

Budget and Customisation

Our predesigned floorplans offer an affordable and efficient way to build multiple dwellings on a single block, eliminating the need for costly architectural services.

These thoughtfully designed homes maximise space and functionality while keeping costs in check. To add a personal touch, clients will meet with our interior designer to personalise their homes by selecting upgrades for fittings and fixtures that suit their style and budget.

This balance of affordability and customisation ensures you achieve a dual occupancy home tailored to your needs without breaking the bank.

Outdoor Living

Our dual occupancy house designs feature private outdoor spaces like courtyards or alfresco areas. Ensure these areas are functional and integrate well with the interior layout to provide seamless indoor-outdoor living.
