All G.J. Gardner duplex home designs make the most of open plan living spaces, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, clean lines and embracing natural light for year-round comfort. They also have individually crafted designer facades providing outstanding street appeal.
A dual living building is a property with two separate homes on a single lot, divided by a shared wall. They may share one title or have separate titles for individual ownership. Popular in the 1920s and 1930s for their single-house appearance, they ensured uniform streetscapes. Today, dual living offers a flexible, cost-effective housing option for families, investors, and multigenerational living or rental use.
Council requirements for dual occupancy vary greatly in different areas, meaning there is no standard block size, shape or plan that will guarantee approval across all locations. There is no one size fits all choice for choosing the right land size for your dual living development. The necessary size is contingent on your own needs and what you are looking for in your home.
However, typically the minimum amount of land required for a duplex development is around 15 metres wide by 30 metres long, pending individual council regulations. Talk to your local G.J. Gardner office for area specific recommendations.
A dual living solution can be the best option for your home design as it is incredibly versatile with plenty of applications. They can provide a great opportunity to earn a passive income by living on one side of the dual living while renting out the other.
They are also a great option for extended family members, providing a great housing solution for elderly or disabled relatives as well as adult children. Dual Living allow for increased independence while still living on the same property.
