Does anyone have any ideas on how to maximse the use of a narrow block. I have purchased a R40 corner block with a house in the middle and i have about 11m width piece of land running either side of the house. I think i need 1.5m boundary setback each side= 7m wide house. How can i squeeze in 2 builds around this house?
Here are some of my ideas
Is the parapet wall only for garages or can i run it up the whole length of house 1? (25m boundary)
Is the boundary setbacks from the eaves or brickwork?. If from eaves then i will build them with no eaves. Or is there something i am missing?
Attached is a sketch i drew. I dont even know if i can legally do what i have drawn. There is 7.3m from back of house to boundary, and 5m from front of house to boundary. Either side of house there is ~ 10m
Here are some of my ideas
- Parapet Walls
- Build under eaves
- No Eaves
- 2 Storey
- Build front door on side of house 1 -> else it will look out of place with the garage being 80% of the 10m frontage.
- Single door garage with one car behind another car (long way)
