Custom single storey floor plans for Melbourne blocks, traditional and narrow, shaped by more than a decade of local building experience and a process that starts with a conversation about your land, not a pre-set list of options.
It’s not hard to see why single storey homes stay popular with Melbourne buyers: everything sits on one floor, movement between rooms is simple, and there’s a natural connection between indoor living and the backyard. At Royce Homes, we treat every single storey project as its own brief , we get to know your block and your household first, then shape a floor plan around that, whether you’re working with a standard suburban lot or a tighter, narrower site.
With nothing to climb, single storey homes suit young kids, older family members, and anyone who’d rather not deal with stairs
A flat footprint tends to let more consistent daylight and airflow move through the living spaces
Fewer structural layers than a two-storey build generally means simpler upkeep over the years
Single-level homes lend themselves to alfresco areas and backyard access that feel like part of the living space, not an afterthought
Keep the main bedroom away from the kids’ rooms, or slot in a home office, theatre or activity space, all without leaving the ground floor
Royce Homes proudly presents a selection of single-storey homes tailored for traditional Melbourne lots. Explore our range of facade options and carefully curated floor plans to find a family home designed to stand the test of time.
Building on a narrow block doesn’t mean compromising on comfort. Royce Homes brings you single-storey home designs meticulously planned for narrow lots — a curated range of floor plans designed to maximise natural light, storage and living space without needing a wide frontage.
A sit-down where we talk through your block, your household, and what you actually need from the design
We come back to you with a custom home design shaped around those requirements
Once you sign off on the design, our construction crew gets to work
Keys in hand, home ready for you to move into
A single storey home keeps every room, bedrooms, kitchen, living areas, on the same floor, with no internal staircase. That tends to mean a more straightforward build and easier day-to-day movement. A double storey design gives up some of that simplicity in exchange for a smaller footprint on the block, which can work better on a tighter or narrower site.
Not automatically, price depends on far more than the number of levels, including the design itself, chosen facade, inclusions, your block’s conditions, and council requirements. Our team can talk you through what’s likely for your specific block and design.
It changes depending on which floor plan you’re after. Royce Homes has options across both traditional and narrow lots, and we can assess your block during a free evaluation to see what fits.
Yes, floor plans can be adjusted for tighter lot widths or trickier sites. We look at your block during the first consultation and adapt the design to it, rather than trying to fit a standard plan onto land it wasn’t drawn up for.
It varies with the design’s complexity, council approval times, and site conditions, so we don’t quote one fixed number upfront. Once your design and selections are locked in, we’ll give you a schedule specific to your project.
