The stair belongs in the plan
Its position shapes arrival, circulation, daylight and the relationship between levels.
Use the site in three dimensions
Two-storey house design in Perth
A second level can protect garden space, separate uses and unlock outlook—but only when both floors work together as one home.
A good fit when
Design for the reality of your project.
- Compact sites where garden area is a priority
- Homes seeking separation between shared and private rooms
- Blocks with an outlook or orientation opportunity at upper level
- Multi-generational or work-from-home briefs needing clearer zones
What the design considers
More than rooms on a page.
Daily life stays practical
The arrangement considers what needs to happen downstairs, upstairs and between the two.
Form follows the idea
The exterior grows from proportion, shade, openings and internal spaces—not applied decoration alone.
Questions to consider
Before the first sketch.
What should remain on the ground floor?+
That depends on your household, but daily living, access, future flexibility and guest or work needs are useful early considerations.
Will a two-storey home cost more?+
Construction cost depends on far more than storey count. The design should be tested against your priorities and project budget with suitable consultants and builders.
