Dual occupancy projects need a smart strategy to maximise space and profit.

This week, I’m joined by Claire Kelly, Head of Projects here at Little Fish, to share the four non-negotiable design tips that’ll help your homes feel like proper family dwellings—not just another townhouse.

We cover real-world lessons from past builds, resale potential, and why the wrong layout can cost you big. Whether you plan to sell or stay, we’ll show you how to squeeze the most value out of every square metre.
