Building on a Narrow Block in Sydney? Here's How to Maximise Space Without Compromise

As land becomes more scarce across Sydney — especially in growth corridors like Blacktown, Oran Park, and Liverpool — more families are building on narrower blocks. But limited frontage doesn’t have to mean limited design.

At Casaview Homes, we specialise in custom-designed homes tailored to challenging sites. Here’s how we help clients transform narrow blocks into stunning, spacious homes that work for modern lifestyles.

Why Build on a Narrow Block?

• Affordability: Smaller lots are often more cost-effective and in high-demand locations
• Location access: Build in your desired suburb near transport, schools, and family
• Sustainability: Less land = lower maintenance and better efficiency

1. Smart, Custom Design Is the Key

Unlike off-the-shelf project homes that need wide blocks, we offer completely custom plans developed by our in-house architects — designed specifically for your land.

We consider:

• Council setbacks and shadowing regulations
• Maximising usable internal space
• Clever room placement for light and privacy
• Storage solutions that don't eat into floor space

You won’t get this level of design flexibility from most builders.

2. Innovative Design Techniques We Use

Here’s how we make narrow feel expansive:

• Open-plan zones that flow from kitchen to living to outdoor alfresco
• Strategic window and skylight placement to draw in natural light
• Void areas and high ceilings to add volume and drama
• Built-in storage and multifunctional spaces (like study nooks under stairs)
• Internal courtyards or light wells for air and privacy

Want a two-car garage, walk-in pantry, and upstairs retreat on a Narrow frontage? With Casaview’s design approach, it’s all possible.

3. Premium Inclusions Without the Compromise

Our homes come loaded with thoughtful inclusions that other builders often treat as upgrades — like:

• 900mm stainless steel appliances
• Caesarstone benchtops
• Semi-frameless showers
• Security systems
• Vertical blinds and concrete driveway

Even on compact blocks, you’ll get a premium finish and full-featured home — all included in our standard pricing.
