Bayside residents will rejoice at our double-storey side-by-side duplex home design, the Franklin 28/28. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom dual occupancy home is designed with bayside council’s additional setback requirements and narrower blocks in mind.
‘This home has been designed with specific council requirements in mind. The flexibility of the Franklin design helps us work around council requirements while also achieving the best outcome for the site,’ explains Victorian Design Manager, Rebecca Coffman.
‘The clever design also creates an opportunity for blocks that may experience design constraints such as overshadowing.’
Not limited to bayside councils, the Franklin also allows for development in many other areas across Melbourne, Geelong, and beyond.
This cleverly designed floorplan features an entrance hallway that opens onto a stylish internal staircase. The ground floor features a generous master bedroom and an entertainers’ open plan living/dining area complete with expansive windows to the rear of the home.

‘The standout for the Franklin is the heart of the home – the kitchen. It features a spacious walk-in-pantry and connects seamlessly with the dining and living areas,’ says Rebecca.
‘The ingenious layout will make mealtime a breeze with plenty of bench space.’
The design flexibility of the Franklin allows you to personalise your kitchen design with the option to add a butler’s pantry. Should you prefer the look of a clear island bench, you can also move the sink and cooktop to the external wall and add a splashback window.

To enhance the airy ambiance of the home, the c-shaped staircase opens onto the retreat area. A second master sits at the front of the home, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Bedrooms three and four are located toward the rear and share the family bathroom and separate powder room.
You can further personalise the Franklin floorplan with a range of design options tailored to your lifestyle. ‘The floorplan flexibility is great and allows customers to create a design that best suits their personal needs,’ add Rebecca.
The Franklin is designed for blocks with a 15.24 frontage and is available with the expertly crafted Modern, Hamptons, and Yarra dual occupancy facades.
