Dual occupancy
home design
We can help you design a dual occupancy that’s suited to your future
We understand that designing and developing a dual occupancy home means you’re planning ahead for the future. A multi-generational family deserves harmonious spaces and the ability to accommodate independent living with the comfort of a contemporary Australian lifestyle.
ES Design can help you design a home that is spacious, self-contained, and perfect for either ageing parents or perhaps children transitioning into their own home. Whatever your future holds, we can help you prepare for it.
The benefits of dual occupancy homes
As cities across Australia become denser, the appeal of dual occupancy homes has risen. For many families and developers, dual occupancy living reveals a range of benefits, such as better flexibility and affordability.
While you’re technically developing two homes, you’ll only be paying for one. If you’re looking to rent your dual occupancy home out, you can still enjoy two rental incomes without having to front an extraordinary development cost. Dual occupancy homes are most often designed with completely separate entrances and utilities.
We tailor a design to suit your needs
We recognise that no two projects are the same. That’s why we’ve adopted a client-centric philosophy that focuses on collaborative design, that adapts to your lifestyle needs. We take the time to understand your vision and the restraints it is bound by. Using our vast industry knowledge and network, we provide a solution that is unique to your project.
