A dual occupancy home features two separate dwellings on a single block of land – either side-by-side (as in a duplex), one behind the other (rear dwellings), or even as two freestanding homes depending on zoning and block size. Each residence can be occupied independently or together, offering versatility, income potential, and lifestyle flexibility.
Whether you're planning for extended family, seeking an investment opportunity, or looking to downsize while staying close to loved ones, dual occupancy makes it possible – without compromising comfort or design.
At Arx Build, we specialise in council-compliant dual occupancy designs that maximise land value while meeting local planning regulations.
• Generate Rental Income: Live in one and rent the other for passive income.
