With block sizes getting increasingly smaller, building up to maximise floor space has become a necessity for many new home builders. The thought of sacrificing any of that valuable floor space might therefore seem ridiculous but incorporating a second storey void in your new home can create stunning spaces that are worth the compromise.

Have a look at these examples of second storey voids that create dramatic entries, allow for feature lighting over dining and lounge areas and add an abundance of natural light via ceiling height windows.

Sometime it’s what’s not there that can make all the difference.
