Rear or side garage access home designs
Dale Alcock Homes’ rear garage house designs are perfect for modern families who love to entertain
With an increase of blocks being subdivided across the Perth metro area, rear garage house plans and side garage house plans are becoming more and more popular. This clever, modern design works best where there is easy laneway access to a block, or on busy streets where pulling out of your driveway is a nightmare, but it’s also growing in popularity among homeowners who love to entertain and want to maximise their outdoor living space. By moving the garage to the rear of the plans, the front of the home can feature an inviting alfresco area and landscaping instead of a large driveway and garage door.
At Dale Alcock, families are loving the option to customise the front façade to suit their lifestyle, which means kids can play safely, parents can relax outdoors, and the street view becomes more aesthetically pleasing without a protruding garage.
Is your block not suitable for a front garage access? We’ve got rear and side garage access home designs to suit your block.
Benefits of rear or side garage access:
- Perfect if you have a corner block or block with back laneway access
- Doesn’t take away from your street appeal
- There is more room at the front of your home for landscaping or a verandah
- More space at the front of your home for an open-plan living and dining area
- Kids can play safely out the front of your home
- If your corner block is on a busy road, a rear or side garage access means you don’t have to pull out onto a busy street.
Our most popular rear garage house design: The Shorehouse
One of our display homes, the Shorehouse, features a rear garage access leading into the mudroom and laundry.
One of the great benefits of a rear garage access on the Shorehouse design was the opportunity to add a front verandah in lieu of a garage. A perfect spot to enjoy the sea breeze or watch those glorious Perth sunsets.
A rear access garage allows for more room at the front of the home. At our Shorehouse display home, the kitchen, living and dining area are all positioned right at the front of the home, allowing for all the entertaining to be done at the front of the home and creates a feeling of wide-open space.
