Duplex Designs With An Award Winning Builder

Duplex designs are becoming more and more popular among people in many stages of their homeownership journey.

As custom Sydney duplex builders backed by industry experience we can do much more for your duplex than make clever use of your block of land. A duplex design can include luxurious features such as swimming pools, large living spaces and butler’s pantries, and practical elements that make life more comfortable and private for each of the two dwellings.

One look through our duplex home options, and you’ll be inspired by how much can be achieved in these practical, luxurious and smart home designs. Whether you’re looking to build a new home to share with your family, or you’re looking for the perfect property to suit your land and investment goals, you will find what you’re looking for with a duplex home.

Your Dream Home or Dream Investment

Essentially, building duplexes means that you’re building two separate homes on the same blocks. This can be one way to get the highest rental yield and highest growth from your investment. The dwellings generally have their own entrances, being a combination of a detached house and an apartment, and owners have the choice of how to use each space to their ultimate benefit. For example, building a duplex can allow investors to live in one and make an income from the other, or rent out both for a maximised profit.

Your Duplex Homes Questions Answered

What is a duplex?

Duplexes are home designs that create two dwelling spaces on one block of land. Each house is connected with a common wall during the building process, yet their design allows for dual occupancy, along with the options of being double or single-storey.

The duplex can have the same or separate titles, and can include space for landscaping, a backyard and even a swimming pool. The cost of building a duplex is comparable to building a regular house of the same size, yet it often allows for higher return and cost recuperation. Duplexes allow for the comfort, cost convenience and security of an apartment, without compromising on open space or your own private land.

What are the most common reasons for choosing to build a duplex in Sydney?

Ultimately, duplex designs are popular because they are often available at more affordable prices than a single-storey home, however, they offer more space and autonomy than an apartment. Many people choose to build duplexes based on the ability to offset the costs of owning a home by renting out the second house.

Duplexes can potentially bring in the highest rental yield and cost offset by creating double the house on one block of land. This can suit many different types of home builders, from first home owners to investors.

What are the most common features of duplexes in Sydney?

As custom duplex builders, we always have our finger on the pulse of what is popular and what is up and coming in terms of design and desired features.

Some of the most popular modern features for duplex designs include:

Different facades for each side
Study nooks and home office inclusions
Double garages on each side
Alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining areas
Powder room or toilet off the living area
Three bedrooms to suit the modern young family
Ensuite in the master
Energy efficiency
Open planned living
Mixed materials on the interior and exterior spaces

What are the most common materials used to build duplexes in Sydney?

There is a vast array of different materials available to include in your duplex build, however, the most common are steel, concrete, timber, brick, hempcrete and stone.

What is the average time it takes to build a duplex in Sydney?

Often, the longest part of building any home is the time it takes for the land to be registered and materials to arrive. We aim to have our builds completed in under 10 months, even with the intricacies involved with building a duplex home.
