Building on a Melbourne narrow block comes with its own set of challenges.
The wrong layout can make a home feel dark, cramped, or disconnected.
The right layout can make every metre work harder.
Before settling on a floor plan, look at these 5 things:
โ Entry sequence: Does the entrance feel welcoming or squeezed in?
โ Garage or parking: How much valuable frontage does it take up?
โ Natural light: Are there clear corridors that bring light deeper into the home?
โ Open-plan placement: Is the main living zone positioned where it can actually feel spacious?
โ Outdoor connection: Can you create a useful outdoor area without simply sacrificing more depth?
A narrow block isn't necessarily a limitation.
It just requires more thoughtful planning from the start.
