How to design a Narrow Block Design
Width is tight, so the clever design goes upward and inward.
Narrow block design turns a constraint into a signature. With limited width, the conversation is about borrowing light from above, using every metre of length well, and keeping the home feeling open.
The decisions that matter most
Light from the middle
A central void, courtyard or skylight brings daylight deep into a long, narrow plan where side windows cannot.
Stack the private rooms
Going up for bedrooms frees the ground floor for open living that runs the length of the block.
Rethink the garage
On a narrow frontage the garage can dominate. Design it in carefully so the entry still feels welcoming.
Long sightlines
Align openings front to back so the eye travels the full length, making the home feel wider than it is.
