What the Antila Home Design Offers Perth Buyers

The width of a block directly determines which home designs in Perth you can build on it. That is a straightforward fact that narrows your options in the current market. It is especially relevant if you are building in densely developed growth estates where narrow frontages are common.

Many buyers find their preferred suburb and discover the blocks are tighter than expected. A standard three-bedroom design requiring 12.5 metres will not fit on a 7.5-metre lot. A four-bedroom home with a double garage needs even more room.

The result is either a compromise on location or a compromised floor plan. Neither feels like a good start. What changes this is having access to a purpose-built narrow-lot design.

The Antila home design is not adapted from a larger plan. It is designed from the ground up to make a 7.5-metre frontage work as a complete, liveable home.

What Makes the Antila Home Design Different?

The Antila is engineered specifically for narrow blocks that traditional designs cannot accommodate. It delivers three bedrooms, a double garage, and practical open living spaces without the cramped feeling that poorly planned narrow designs can create.

Purpose-Built for a 7.5-Metre Frontage

The Antila is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home designed for 7.5-metre frontage blocks. It includes a double car garage, which is a notable achievement at this width. Many ultra-narrow designs sacrifice the garage entirely or reduce it to a single bay.

The Antila does not compromise on this. Compared with most home designs in Perth that need 10 metres or more, the Antila fits a genuinely different category of land. These blocks are increasingly common across Perth’s growth corridors where land is developed efficiently. For buyers who need a narrow frontage solution, the Antila opens up land that would otherwise be incompatible with a three-bedroom layout.

A Three-Bedroom Layout That Feels Like a Family Home

Three-bedroom homes are sometimes described as temporary starter properties. The Antila delivers a complete family home on a 7.5-metre footprint. The open-plan living zone and dedicated master suite make it suited to more than just first home buyers.

It works well for couples, downsizers, and investors looking for a layout with broad rental appeal. Explore home designs in Perth to see how the Antila compares to other frontage options in the B1 Homes range.

The Antila Floor Plan Breakdown

The floor plan is deliberate about every square metre. It ensures rooms function well for daily living and provides zoning between the master suite and the secondary bedrooms.

Master Suite at the Front

The master bedroom in the Antila is positioned at the front of the home. It connects to a walk-in robe and a private ensuite. The ensuite includes semi-frameless glass shower screens, frameless mirrors, and chrome mixers.

Placing the master at the front of a narrow-lot home creates a natural buffer between the street and the rear living areas. The two secondary bedrooms sit toward the rear, which achieves a genuine sense of zoned privacy despite the tighter external footprint.

Secondary Bedrooms and Main Bathroom

The two secondary bedrooms are located at the rear, across from the main living zone. Each bedroom includes robes with a shelf and rail. The main bathroom services these bedrooms with a 1520mm bath, a shower recess with up to 2-metre-high tiling, and a frameless mirror. A separate dual-flush toilet with a china cistern is also included. Exhaust fans are standard to all wet areas.

See the Antila layout to verify this floor plan configuration before committing.

Open-Plan Living and L-Shaped Kitchen

The L-shaped kitchen anchors the open-plan living and dining zone. This configuration provides bench space along two walls, which works particularly well in a narrow home where a straight galley layout can feel restrictive. The kitchen includes an island bench with a practical overhang, Inalto 600mm appliances (rangehood, cooktop, and five-function oven), a dishwasher recess, and soft-close drawers. A walk-in pantry connects directly to the kitchen for dedicated storage.

The open-plan dining and family areas flow from the kitchen without internal walls dividing the spaces.

Alfresco and Double Car Garage

The Antila includes a paved alfresco and a porch with steel posts. External lights to both the porch and alfresco are included. In Perth’s climate, an alfresco becomes a usable year-round space for everyday outdoor living.

The double car garage sits at the front of the home with internal access to the main living areas. This makes it straightforward to bring shopping inside without going outdoors. View our design range to see other designs that include a double garage at this frontage width.

How the Antila Fits Perth Blocks

A 7.5-metre frontage is a practical width that appears across established and newer growth estates throughout Perth. These lots are often more accessible in price than wider blocks in the same estate, because many buyers overlook them when they are not aware of purpose-built designs.

The 7.5-Metre Financial Advantage

For buyers frustrated by the gap between land prices and desired designs, the Antila changes the equation. A 7.5-metre block in a preferred suburb may be financially viable today, whereas a wider block in the same estate may not be. The house and land package cost reflects that land pricing advantage.

Affordable house and land packages in Perth featuring the Antila are available across both northern and southern growth corridors.

Compatibility with Perth Growth Estate Lots

The 7.5-metre width is compatible with lot types found across many residential estates in Perth. Whether you are looking north of the river or south, this frontage appears consistently in new land releases. For buyers comparing options across B1 Homes house and land packages, the Antila is one of the more flexible designs in terms of land compatibility.
