With children tending to stay in the nest a little longer alongside an ageing population, many families are turning to dual occupancy home designs as a solution to comfortably house adult children and grandparents.
WHAT IS A DUAL OCCUPANCY HOME DESIGN?
A dual occupancy home design is two, fully self contained homes under one roof. With private entries, separated living areas, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and outdoor living. MOJO’s home designs fit everything a multigenerational family need, all onto one block of land.
DESIGNING HOMES FOR MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILIES
MOJO’s dual occupancy home designs offer the perfect solution for multigenerational families living under the same roof! With space, privacy and comfort taken into consideration, MOJO’s house plans are a creative solution for families looking for space for adult children, grandparents and guests or even as an investment opportunity. The five bedroom Sussex is a beautiful dual occupancy home that provides a convenient way for contemporary multi-generational families to live, with everyone still residing under the same roof, but having the privacy and sanctuary of separate entries to their own homes.
The main residence has four generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living space opening on to the outdoor living, as well as a family bathroom and laundry. Next-door is an airy, streamlined one-bedroom home offering everything anyone could need for self-contained living, including a private outdoor living space.
CLEVERLY DESIGNED HOUSE PLANS
MOJO’s range of dual occupancy house plans are a contemporary take on modern day living. These floor plans provide independent, self-contained living accommodation with separate living areas, spacious bathrooms and private access all under one roof providing independent living options for family, guests or tenants.

Both homes have their own single garages and entries. The main home has three bedrooms, a warm and welcoming open-plan living space opening to the outdoor living, as well as a spacious master with walk-in robe and ensuite. Two bedrooms are on offer in the cosy next door residence, which also has an open-plan kitchen/dining/living, laundry and bathroom.

MOJO’s architecturally designed floor plans unlock your block of lands investment potential, allowing you to live in half your home, and live off the other!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A DUAL OCCUPANCY HOME
When looking at dual occupancy floor plans, it is important to consider three important factors:
- PRIVACY
A dual occ house plan should allow privacy for both parties. A home design with separate living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms is a must.
- ACCESSIBILITY
Allow family members to come and go as they please with an easily accessible, private entry.
- ONE OR TWO DWELLINGS?
Would you prefer separate homes on the same block, or would you prefer a larger home with separate living quarters? If you would like further privacy with a separate dwelling, one of MOJO’s granny flat designs may be better for you.
