Courtyard House
Courtyard House Plan
Courtyard House is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom plus study design, suited to rear ‘battle-axe’ blocks. The L-shaped plan maximizes the space allocated to gardens at the centre of the house, and the main living spaces open to a North-facing alfresco entertaining area.
Courtyard House offers an affordable entry into the housing market without compromising on design quality, and is ideal for smaller, rear subdivided infill blocks with a minimum size of 320m2 or larger (17m x 19m).

Who is the Courtyard House Plan For?
With four different designs available – the Short House, Short House, Tall House (in 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom versions) and Courtyard House – our New House Plans are ideal for a range of different homeowners, including:
- First-home buyers – such as young singles and couples who want to be near their jobs, cafes and restaurants, the beach, places to exercise and meet friends
- Second-home buyers – including young families who want to live within walking distance of local shops, playgrounds, schools, health services and plenty of public transport options to get to work
- Empty-nesters – downsizers and right-sizers who want to stay in their long-term neighbourhood, close to friends and family and all of the service and amenity they’ve enjoyed for decades. It can be difficult to find high quality, well-designed accessible housing to suits their needs, that will easily enable them to age-in-place.
The Courtyard House is best suited to rear subdivided ‘battle-axe’ blocks, making this an ideal design for people looking to get into established suburbs, or investors who want to develop the rear of their current block.
Younger and older homeowners will enjoy easy access to all of the local amenities they love – with great walkability to nearby shops and services depending on your chosen site – without the higher price tag of a larger, established home.
This compact plan maximises a central outdoor and garden space for entertaining and landscaping. Internally, the design provides all of the comforts of a larger home including a main bedroom with generous ensuite and two windows overlooking the garden. The plan includes a separate study for hobbies and household admin; and there is plenty of room for guests or children (either new additions as the family grows, or grandchildren!).
Like all of our New House Plan designs, the accessible design attributes of the Courtyard House allow it to easily adapt to changing needs in future, such as when a young couple have their first baby; or if an older resident’s mobility decreases over time.
