Narrow Lot Designs
Smart design. Seamless living. Surprising space.
Tingey Development Group specialises in narrow lot house designs that offer a unique blend of creativity and comfort, even on compact sites. Whether you’re considering a build in a bustling inner-city neighbourhood or a tightly held suburban pocket, our team crafts homes that feel spacious, modern, and uniquely yours without needing a wide block.
Through intelligent planning, expert craftsmanship and a deep understanding of Perth living, we help you get more from less. Our designs are proof that great homes start with innovative thinking.
Why Choose a Narrow Lot?
With Perth’s growing population, large residential blocks are becoming more challenging and expensive. Narrow lots provide a practical solution, allowing you to live in well-connected areas without the premium price tag. They are increasingly popular among families, professionals, and investors, offering a clever way to enjoy city-fringe living without compromising quality or convenience.
However, cost savings are just one part of the story. Building on a narrow lot allows you to embrace thoughtful design and low-maintenance living, making day-to-day life more efficient and enjoyable.
Benefits include:
- More innovative use of land: You can live close to everything that matters without needing a large block.
- Creative outcomes: Narrow blocks inspire innovation in design, leading to homes that feel tailored and purposeful.
- Less maintenance: With a smaller footprint, you spend less time managing your property and more time enjoying it.
At Tingey, we turn constraints into opportunities and create practical and inspiring homes.
Smarter Space. Better Living.
Designing for a narrow lot requires more than just shrinking a standard plan. It calls for an entirely different approach, carefully considering how each space will be used and how the home will feel.
Our narrow lot house designs focus on openness, natural light and smart zoning. We use volume, flow and clever detailing to create homes that feel much larger than they appear from the street.
Here is what you can expect from our approach:
- Vertical planning: Building upwards adds valuable living space without expanding the footprint.
- Open-plan living: Connecting the kitchen, dining and lounge areas creates flexibility and a sense of ease.
- Natural light and ceiling height: Large windows and generous ceilings increase the sense of volume and brightness.
- Zoned layouts: We design spaces that support daily routines, whether privacy, entertainment, or working from home.
We take great care in designing homes that are beautiful, functional and a joy to live in.
Custom Homes for Narrow Blocks
At Tingey, no two homes are the same. Every build starts with your lifestyle, your needs and your vision. Just because the block is smaller does not mean your options are.
We offer flexible narrow lot house designs that can be tailored in every detail. From layout to finishes, we work closely with you to create a home that suits both your site and your personality. This level of customisation ensures that your home is not just a house, but a reflection of your unique lifestyle and preferences.
Customisation options include:
- Layout and configuration: We will make it fit whether you need more bedrooms, a scullery, a home office or an alfresco area.
- Interior finishes: Choose from premium fittings, finishes and colour palettes that reflect your style.
- Street appeal: Our façades range from sleek and modern to classic and traditional, with designs that complement the surrounding area.
Your home should reflect your identity, not just a response to the block.
Flexible Designs for Every Lifestyle
Our narrow lot house designs are created for real people with real needs. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or investing, we can deliver a solution that works beautifully for your lifestyle.
These designs are not just about fitting a house onto a block. They are about designing spaces supporting your routine, enhancing your well-being, and offering long-term value. Investing in a narrow-lot house is not just a purchase; it’s a wise decision for your future.
We offer a wide range of architectural styles, including:
- Modern homes with clean lines, open spaces and low-maintenance finishes.
- Timeless designs that combine heritage charm with everyday functionality.
- Contemporary townhouses are ideal for urban developments and rental investments.
Our homes are practical, future-focused and tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.

Fantastic to deal with - Great service Janelle Slattery2023-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Brooke and Geoff from TDG has been a game changer for us in our building journey. After experiencing 2 other builders, finding them has been fantastic. They really put us at ease throughout the process. They are responsive to questions and concerns and always talk with extensive knowledge but in a way that you can understand. They listened to our wants and needs and understood what we were trying to achieve with our build. We have trusted them completely and feel very comfortable and confident with them. If you’re looking for a builder that will listen to you, work with you and treat as a partner in the build process, rather than just a cash flow/project, definitely give Brooke and Geoff a call. We can’t recommend them more highly. Tait Nicholls2023-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything you want in a builder.
