However, building a home on a narrow block doesn’t have to limit your design possibilities. At Avia Homes, we embrace these challenges and are passionate about creating homes that inspire living, no matter the block size.
In this blog, we’ll outline five of our stunning designs that perfectly fit a 10-metre wide block, proving that you can have your dream home in your dream location even on a 10-metre wide block.

When considering a home for a narrow 10-metre wide block, the first design we want to highlight is the Capri. This generously sized single-level home, at 190sqm, proves that you don’t have to compromise on space or functionality.
Reviewing the floorplan, you’ll see the Capri offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a media room, and a double garage. Its frontage home design ensures that every inch is utilized efficiently without impacting the layout’s functionality. Through smart design, we’ve minimized extensive hallways to maximize the living space, resulting in a more spacious open-plan feel at the rear of the home.
