Dual Occupancy Home Design in Wollongong
Creating a dual-occupancy is complicated, especially if you are not accustomed to high-density development or have never gone through a council process before. You will have so much more peace of mind if you work with an experienced designer who is familiar with multi-unit design, your council’s planning regulations, and the timeframe and budget that you desire.
Our dual occupancy home design services make it easy for you to create a high-quality, compliant, and value-driven investment or lifestyle choice. Each design is customised to your lot, location and lifestyle. All dual occupancy designs meet the specific wollongong planning and zoning requirements. In addition to our core dual occupancy home design services, we also create custom-designed dual occupancy homes for subdivided, corner, narrow, and sloped lots.
Tailored Dual Occupancy Home Design in Wollongong for Your Property
Our custom KDR home designs in Kiama are tailored to how you want to use your property; therefore, this approach differs from a standard home plan because it is designed to be the perfect fit for you. To develop your custom plan effectively, we will require an in-depth understanding of your vision for your future home.
To develop a successful dual occupancy design, we consider several important factors from the outset, including:
- The area of land, slope and orientation of your site
- Local planning regulations and zoning requirements
- Your budget and development objectives
- How you plan to use the property (e.g., as rental income, resale potential or for multi-generational living)
Having this information early in the design process helps us create an effective dual-occupancy solution that balances use and financial viability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dual Occupancy Home Design?
A dual-occupancy home design is a type of house plan that allows two separate homes to be built on a single lot. The homes can be duplexes or detached, depending on council guidelines and the layout of your property.
Will I need to have a completed design before commencing my project?
Not at all! We support you from early concept stages by working together throughout the project, ensuring a result that meets your needs and local regulations.
Can you assist with getting my project through the Council Approval Process?
Of course! Our team will develop the plans and documentation needed to submit your project to the relevant council. The team will actively help with each step of the approval process.
Do I get to see my new design before sending it in for approval?
Yes. We will create a 3D visualisation for you that provides a complete picture of what your dual occupancy will look like when the plans are presented to the relevant council.
Is it a requirement for all dual-occupancy home designs to meet the BASIX standards?
Yes. Each of our dual occupancies will be created in accordance with the BASIX requirements and energy-efficient design to ensure they meet the sustainability standards that apply to you if you are building in New South Wales. The above conditions will help ensure your project receives council approval in a timely and effective manner.
