Double Storey House Designs in Melbourne
Stunning Double Storey Homes & Designs with Voids in Melbourne
Feeling cramped? Struggling to find a home with enough indoor space that doesn’t completely sacrifice outdoor areas? With the double-storey house designs from Long Island Homes, you don’t have to. Whether you’re building on a narrow block, planning for a growing family, or looking for a more visually striking outcome, double-storey house designs give you the space you’ve always wanted.
We pioneered double-storey void designs back in 2012. Since then, others have followed, but very few truly understand how to design them properly. Where some homes feel disconnected and full of missed opportunities, ours are designed to feel open and balanced from every angle.
Recognised at a state and national level, our award-winning designs are built on decades of experience with what actually works in real homes rather than what looks good on a plan. Those same award-winning designs can be tailored to your unique style, helping you create a home that goes beyond aesthetics to reflect how you live.
The Privacy You Need With the Openness That Helps You Feel Connected
As block sizes across Melbourne shrink, you might be struggling to decide what part of your home you need to give up to make it all fit. Here at Long Island Homes, we want you to have it all. By building upwards with double-storey home designs, you can make the most of your land without sacrificing outdoor areas or street appeal.
Our homes are created with real solutions to these challenges in mind. Whether you’re looking for open-plan living, separate zones for parents and children, or seamless indoor-outdoor flow, we design homes that balance functionality with architectural detail.
Find the Space You’ve Always Dreamed of in Our Double Storey House Plans
Want to cook without feeling isolated from your family? Entertain friends without disturbing your partner who works from home? The right double-storey house plan can make a big difference to your day-to-day life.
You’ve already taken a step in the right direction by choosing an award-winning market leader, and we offer a range of flexible layouts to suit different family sizes, block types, and design preferences.
Our double-storey house plans include options for:
- Narrow and small Melbourne blocks
- Large family homes with multiple living areas
- Zoned living with bedrooms upstairs and living areas below

Every plan can be refined to suit your specific requirements, ensuring your home is both practical and future-proof.

Double Storey Home Inspirations
Soak up More Natural Light in Double Storey Homes with Void Designs
A popular feature in modern double-storey homes is the inclusion of a void. A void is an open vertical space that typically connects two levels, often positioned above an entryway or living area.
It’s a simple concept, but most builders get void design wrong. They place them where they look good on a plan, not where they actually transform how a home feels. A space that should feel open ends up feeling closed in and underwhelming the moment you walk in. A poorly designed void in your home could cost tens of thousands of dollars in resale value, leaving you and potential buyers wishing they’d done it differently from the start.
Void Homes Aren’t Just Double Storey Homes With a Hole in the Ceiling
We were building void homes on display back in 2012, long before they became a trend. Today, we’re recognised as market leaders because we understand what most builders still overlook: how a void should feel, not just how it looks.
A well-designed void draws natural light deep into the home and creates a sense of openness that you can feel immediately, not just see on paper.
Getting that right comes down to:
- Placement
Where the void sits determines whether it enhances or limits the home
- Proportions
The scale needs to feel intentional, not oversized or awkward
- Sightlines
What you see from each level shapes the overall experience
- Light flow
How natural light moves through the space throughout the day

Work With the Market Leaders in Double Storey Void Designs
Not all double-storey home builders understand void homes. Most treat them as a design feature, but to us, they’re a core part of how a home should feel and function. We’ve been designing void homes since 2012, and over that time, we’ve refined what works, what doesn’t, and where most builders fall short. It’s why our homes don’t just look impressive; they feel right the moment you walk in.
Our approach is simple: no shortcuts on quality, and no designs that look good but fail in real life. Every element is considered, from how spaces connect across levels to which colour of wall paint will help light move through your home. We also believe you shouldn’t have to upgrade just to get a home that feels complete. That’s why our inclusions are designed to deliver a premium result from the start, not as an afterthought.
Recognised at both state and national levels, our award-winning homes reflect a standard that goes beyond most builders to give you designs others just can’t match.
