10m Frontage and Site Suitability
A 10m frontage refers to the width of your lot at the street boundary. It doesn’t mean the home itself is 10m wide, and a design listed for a 10m+ lot still needs to be assessed against your individual block.
Start with your survey and the depth of the lot. Easements and slope can affect the positioning and suitability of a home design.
Orientation and required setbacks need to be considered separately. Your estate might have requirements that affect the home design or its position on the block.
Queensland’s development and siting requirements vary according to the property. A site-specific assessment will confirm which Clarendon designs are suitable for your block.

Comparing 2 Storey House Designs in Queensland
Start by comparing the width and depth of each home against your block. If you’re comparing two storey home designs for small blocks, these measurements help narrow the options before you compare individual layouts.
Next, think about an ordinary day at home. You might want the main living area downstairs where everyone naturally comes together, with bedrooms upstairs for greater separation. Another family might place more value on an extra living space or a dedicated study.
Also consider the relationship between the garage and entry. Internal garage access changes how you arrive home each day, while the entry design affects how you move into the main living areas.
The position and depth of the home also affect the outdoor space left on your block. If you want room for an alfresco or backyard, compare how each design connects indoor living with the rear of the property.

2 Storey House Designs for Queensland Family Living
Two storey house designs in Queensland give families the option to separate shared and private spaces across each level. Shared living areas can sit downstairs near the alfresco and backyard. Bedrooms upstairs create more separation at the end of the day.
Building across two levels also keeps more of the ground level available outside the home. On a narrow lot, that extra space creates more opportunity for an alfresco or backyard without requiring additional internal rooms stretching further along the block.
Consider Queensland’s climate alongside the layout of your home. Look at how the home sits on your block and where windows are positioned. Ask about shading and cross-ventilation before settling on a design.
New homes in Queensland must meet the state’s minimum 7-star energy equivalence standard.
