When your block won’t stretch any further, going up is often the better answer than giving up your backyard. Royce Homes builds double storey homes across Melbourne shaped around your land, your household, and how you actually want each level to function
At Royce Homes, our double storey homes are designed for families who want more space without compromising on style, comfort or functionality. By building upwards, you can maximise your available block while creating dedicated spaces for living, relaxing, entertaining and growing.
Whether you need additional bedrooms, separate living areas or simply want a home that gives your family more room, we can help create a design that suits your lifestyle and vision.
A double storey home allows you to make the most of your land while providing greater flexibility in the way your home is designed. Separate levels can create a clear distinction between living and private spaces, giving every member of the family room to enjoy.
Our team can work with you to create a home that combines practical planning with modern design, ensuring every space serves a purpose and feels connected.
Every family lives differently, which is why we take the time to understand what matters most to you. Whether you already have a clear idea of your dream home or need guidance throughout the design process, our team is here to help.
From your first consultation through to construction and final handover, Royce Homes will work alongside you to make your home-building journey smooth and rewarding.
Mostly because of the block. If your land is narrow, small, or you’d rather keep the backyard than build outward, going up is usually the more practical way to get the extra bedrooms or living space a growing household needs.
Generally, yes, a second level means stronger foundations, more framing, and a staircase to engineer, all of which add cost. That said, the final number still comes down to your specific design, block conditions and inclusions, so it’s worth getting a proper assessment rather than assuming a fixed difference.
It’s possible, but it depends on whether the existing structure can support the extra load, footings and walls usually need to be checked, and sometimes reinforced, before building upward. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Often, yes. When there isn’t enough width to spread a single storey layout across, building up is usually the way to get the floor area a household needs without compromising on room sizes.
Sloping sites can actually suit a double storey design well, since the home can step with the land instead of requiring extensive cut and fill. It comes down to the specific slope and site conditions.
It depends on the design’s complexity, council approvals, and site conditions, so we don’t quote one number upfront. Once your design and selections are locked in, we’ll give you a timeline specific to your project.
Our double storey homes are thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable balance between shared family spaces and private areas. With carefully considered layouts, modern features and quality craftsmanship, we focus on creating homes that are practical for everyday living and enjoyable for years to come.
Whatever your vision may be, Royce Homes can help turn it into a home designed around the way you live.
