Narrow-lot house plans
Narrow-lot plans fight two problems at once: getting light into the middle of a long floor plate, and not spending half the frontage on a garage. The layouts here pull living to the rear where it can open to the yard, and use the length rather than resisting it.
20 editable layouts. Open one in the editor to move walls and rooms, then read the material quantities measured off your own drawing. PlanHome measures; your builder prices it with their rates.

Common questions
- How narrow is a narrow lot?
- In most Australian markets a block under about 10 m wide is treated as narrow lot, and under 7.5 m brings its own design rules in several councils. Side setbacks eat into that width before you draw a single wall.
- How do you get light into the middle of a narrow plan?
- Courtyards, highlight windows above the roof of a lower section, and skylights over circulation. The trap is relying on side windows: with a setback of a metre or so and a neighbour's wall opposite, they deliver far less light than the plan suggests.
