The brief

This dual occupancy project was shaped by a clear brief from a long-standing client, an experienced investor known for their strong track record in building and selling high-performing homes. With a deep understanding of the market and buyer preferences, the brief was both focused and strategic, oriented toward achieving commercial success with a dual occupancy investment. 

Open-concept kitchen with dark wood cabinets, white island, and black bar stools along a light hardwood floor.

Our Process

A solid history of collaboration with this client facilitated an efficient process, allowing for swift and purposeful decision-making, backed by a Carter Grange team that comprehends both the client’s vision and the specific expectations of a custom dual occupancy design. With multiple projects completed together, this build was anchored in a well-established working relationship marked by a strong foundation of trust.

Bringing the Brief to Life

Aiming for a successful investment, the build and design process facilitated a thorough evaluation at every stage, focusing on resale and long-term value. With this in mind, the custom home design was intentionally focused on functional, well-organised living spaces that adapt to different life stages.

A play on practicality for future occupants was crucial in maintaining broad market appeal and value retention, while cleverly integrated elements softened the space, featuring elevated finishes, top-tier inclusions, and a luxury that is often desired yet rarely achieved within the investment sector.

Cozy living room with a white textured sectional, colorful throw pillows, sheer curtains, and a round black coffee table with books and a vase of red flowers.

Custom dual occupancy designs present unique challenges that demand a high level of coordination and efficiency throughout every stage, from planning to delivery.

Client Experience

The client’s experience greatly shaped this custom dual occupancy design, as our established partnership across multiple ventures fostered a strong foundation of trust. Arriving with clarity and confidence, the client had a clear vision of their goals and a solid plan to achieve them. This clarity facilitated an efficient process, enabling swift, purposeful decision-making. The Carter Grange team’s deep understanding of the client’s needs and the expectations associated with this type of build further supported a smooth and successful collaboration.

Mitch - Client

We had an outstanding experience building with Carter Grange, starting with a smooth and collaborative design process that set us up well for the build.

Once construction began, Clint supported us through the early stages with professionalism and clear communication, giving us confidence as we moved toward framing. From framing through to hand-over, Damien guided us with exceptional attention to detail, consistent updates, and a genuine commitment to quality. His transparency and reliability made the entire journey stress-free, and we always felt informed and supported.

From start to finish, the experience with Carter Grange has been incredible. From our very first meeting, they listened to our wish list and truly brought our vision to life.

The team’s communication, care, and patience made such a difference, especially as it was our first build. Everything was so well organised and ready to go before construction began, which gave us complete confidence throughout.

Even after settlement, nothing has ever been too much trouble. Everyone we dealt with was warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful home and the wonderful experience along the way. Highly recommend!
