High-Quality Inclusions

Our new home inclusions are best-in-class and category-leading, giving you the very best from the start. With exceptional attention to detail and premium materials, your new home will be built to the highest standards.

Backed by Trusted Brands

Rest assured, your house’s facade and interiors are constructed using the finest-quality products sourced from trusted brands and suppliers. We guarantee every home we build meets the highest standards.

Abundant natural light: Our 10.5m frontage 2-storey home designs benefit from large windows strategically placed to bring in natural light. Both our single and double-storey designs are crafted to create a bright, airy atmosphere to enhance the feeling of space.

Open-plan living: The heart of our narrow block homes is the open-plan living area, where the lounge, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together. This design encourages connection among family members, creating the perfect setup for modern living.

Smart storage solutions: Narrow blocks often come with limited space, so our designs incorporate smart storage solutions. From hidden storage compartments to built-in wardrobes, we ensure every available space of your home is utilised efficiently.

Superior finishes: At Nostra Homes, quality is non-negotiable. Our 10.5-metre frontage house designs feature premium finishes and materials, ensuring your home looks stunning and stands the test of time.

Maximise Vertical Space: When it comes to limited horizontal space, think vertical. High ceilings and large windows can make rooms feel more expansive. Vertical storage solutions that go all the way up to the ceiling also free up floor space while keeping everything organised.

Focus on Natural Light: Good lighting is key in making narrow spaces feel spacious. Ample windows, skylights, and glass doors bring in that Australian sunshine to ensure warmth and brightness throughout the day.

Optimise Room Placement: Our 10m narrow block floor plans are well-designed for optimal flow. The layout begins with a hallway that leads into the open living area, while private spaces like bedrooms are strategically tucked along the sides. This design ensures that, even with a smaller space, the home feels open and uncluttered.

What to consider when designing a narrow-block house

Efficient use of space is crucial when designing a home for a narrow block. Here’s what you need to consider to utilise the space best:

Multi-Function Rooms: Design rooms that serve more than one purpose, such as a home office that doubles as a guest room or a dining area that transforms into a study space.

Strategic Furniture Choices: Choose furniture that can help you save space without sacrificing comfort or design, such as fold-out tables and modular sofas. Consider custom-built furniture that fits perfectly into your space.

Clever Zoning: This is essential in a narrow home to create a sense of order and flow. Use lighting, rugs, or even partial walls to define areas within an open-plan space.

Efficient Bathroom Layouts: Bathrooms can sometimes be tricky in narrow homes. Make sure your 10m frontage house design has space-saving fixtures, such as wall-mounted sinks and compact toilets.
