NSW Housing Pattern Book · Four apartments in a two-storey building · strata title
Manor homes
One two-storey building that looks like a large house and holds four apartments — two garden apartments below, two above with raked ceilings and balconies. The Pattern Book manor design needs more land than the state manor-house minimum, because it fixes the footprint.
Site width is measured at the front building line, not the kerb. Every Pattern Book pathway is subject to survey: the designs absorb only the fall shown, and only a registered survey of levels can measure it. Bushfire prone land, flood control lots, heritage items and battle-axe lots are outside the fast-track for every pattern.
