Small Lot Housing

The increasing need for affordable housing & societies demand for sustainable lifestyle buildings, are driving factors behind the resurgence of dwellings on small allotments.

Taylor’d DISTINCTION are specialists in achieving designs that maximize the potential of small allotments. Due to the restrictions of the available site, the design must create the illusion of space.

Multi-functionality & the inter-relationship of rooms are critical to minimise wasted space. Rooms such as bedrooms may have “mobile walls” that can be opened during the day to borrow space to make adjoining rooms appear larger. Essentially, the seamless relationship between indoor & outdoors spaces is critical. Terraces & courtyards serve to extend the living rooms beyond the confines of walls & into the external spaces.

Due to the nature of residences being so close to their adjoining neighbours, thoughtful & strategic placement of windows will not only provide light & ventilation, but also ensure high levels of privacy for your family.

Taylor’d DISTINCTION understands the design principles required for small lot housing. Together we can design a home that is functional & practical, a design that utilises all of the site, both internally & externally, your ideal family home.
