We have a stunning range of designs tailored for a narrow-lot home. Our Slimfit Homes range has been created specifically to cater for narrower blocks, ensuring you don’t compromise on space while still delivering on quality, comfort and style. 

What counts as a narrow lot home? 

Narrow lot homes are home designs that have been designed to fit blocks of land that are less than 15m wide. These types of home plans can also be known as cottage lot homes. 

How can you maximise a narrow lot home plan design?

There are a number of ways that you can maximise your home plans to suit a narrow plot. The first thing to consider is which features are a priority for you, and what your home needs to make you happy. 

Different people will want different things; for some people, a spacious garden is non-negotiable, while others prefer greater living space inside. That is why we have a range of designs, which can be customised or reconfigured to suit every taste.

Clever narrow lot home plan

With over thirty years of experience in the industry, Novus Homes has a lot of experience in creating clever narrow-block home plans. Whether it’s built-in storage to maximise space, outdoor living integration or smart bedroom configuration, our clever home designs ensure that you get everything you need in the space. 

Number of rooms

One of your first considerations when building a new home is how many rooms you may need. 

Generally, we start by focusing on the number of bedrooms that you want. Your home should also be designed to grow with you, servicing your needs in the future. Our narrow block home designs will also take into account whether any of your rooms can serve two purposes; for example, an office that could also be a home theatre or a spare bedroom that could double as an activity space. 

Then we’ll factor in the must-have kitchen, dining and living space, to make sure your home plan reflects what is on your wishlist. 

Outside space

Determining how much outside space you would like, and in what configuration is a big part of getting your narrow lot home plan design right. 

In a single-storey property, prioritising outside space will mean less space for the inside of your home. This is why perhaps the biggest decision you need to make about your narrow lot home plan is whether you want it to be a single-storey or a double-storey. 

Single storey vs. double storey 

There are obvious benefits to both, however, the clear advantage of a double-storey narrow lot home is the ability to create more living area in the home, but also, you can have a much bigger back garden as the footprint of the house plan is that much smaller.

If you don’t want a large outside space and would prefer to live on a single floor, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much living space you can fit in a single-storey narrow lot home plan.
