Single-Storey Home Builders in South West Sydney

A single-storey home keeps everything on one level. Good planning is about how the rooms relate to each other and to the yard.

Planning one level

What makes a single-storey layout work

  1. Living on one level

    Everything is on the ground floor, so the plan needs to keep busy areas and quiet areas apart without stairs to separate them.

  2. Circulation

    How you move from the garage to the kitchen, the bedrooms to the bathroom, and the living room to the yard. Long hallways use space quickly.

  3. Room relationships

    Which rooms sit next to each other. A main bedroom away from the kids, a laundry near the clothesline, a study away from the TV.

  4. Outdoor connection

    A single-storey home can open to the yard from several rooms. Think about which ones should, and where the sun falls.

One level or two?

A single-storey home usually needs a wider block for the same floor area. If your block is narrow or you want to keep more yard, a double-storey home may suit better. Many people weigh up both before deciding.
