It’s important to consider your own personal needs and lifestyle, but the block size and location will be big factors as to whether you decide to go for a one or two storey home.

Building higher gives you greater opportunity to maximise any views that the property may have. It can also improve the natural light available, by rising out of the shadows.

People are increasingly choosing to have their living areas on the upper storey in order to make the most of the improved light and aspect that being higher up provides.

With the living areas and bedrooms over two floors it’s easy to create distinct areas and separation between zones.

Considering having the guest or master bedroom and ensuite downstairs, and the other bedrooms upstairs, so that they have their own retreat apart from the rest of the house.

The kids can be watching TV in the lounge downstairs while you work uninterrupted in the upstairs office, or enjoy dinner with friends while your house mate sleeps peacefully upstairs.

If you have teenagers a popular design option is having the living and master bedroom upstairs, with a ‘retreat’ for them downstairs.

Splitting the house gives you lots of different options to create areas for both relaxing or socialising, and by carefully considering your lifestyle and requirements it’s possible to make a two storey design perfect for you.
