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.

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 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.
Our team of experienced professionals are proactive in their approach to remain informed and up to date with changes in legislation and certifier requirements. We are across it all so that you don’t have to be, resulting in a smoother, more simplified approval process.
We focus on total transparency over the lifespan of the project. ES Design will guide you every step of the way to ensure that there are no surprises and that you are kept up to date on progress. We’ll provide a dedicated team who will be available to answer any of your questions around the clock.
We define both our roles from the outset and establish a clear direction and timeline. By choosing us, you’ve decided that we’re the right fit, and we make every effort to prove that to you. ES Design actively seeks cost-effective design solutions and can provide a fixed-fee structure that suits your budget.
