More About This Project

The Brief

The objective across these projects was to create two well-planned homes while making effective use of the available residential land.


Privacy, natural light, usable private open space and practical vehicle access were key considerations. Some sites also required careful planning around subdivision, existing trees, heritage controls, bushfire requirements and restricted building areas.

The Design Response

Each dual occupancy design was developed around the opportunities and constraints of the individual property rather than applying a standard two-dwelling solution.


Building footprints, entries, driveways, private open spaces and window locations were coordinated to provide separation between the homes while making efficient use of the site.


Where required, the architectural design and approval documentation also responded to subdivision requirements, heritage controls, bushfire planning, significant trees and restricted building envelopes.

Project Outcome

This collection demonstrates Distinct Innovations' experience in dual occupancy design across a range of Sydney residential sites, from relatively straightforward two-dwelling developments to properties affected by complex planning and site constraints.


Projects including Malton Road I and Malton Road II in Beecroft demonstrate how individually designed homes can be developed while addressing subdivision, heritage, bushfire, significant trees and restricted building areas.
