Your Shared Living Design Journey
Creating your shared living masterpiece begins with your complimentary 30-minute design consultation, where our team understands your vision, investment goals, or family living needs. From initial concept through design refinement, we guide you through planning, council liaison, and building process milestones.
Most shared living projects progress through design phases , council approval (variable timeframe depending on local requirements), and construction (typically 8-12 months for new builds). Our bespoke design approach ensures your rooming house, boarding house, or multi-family housing reflects your vision whilst meeting all Victorian compliance standards
Multi-Generation Living: Harmony and Practical Benefit
Beyond investment properties, multi-family housing serves families seeking multi-generation living solutions. Modern multi-family designs accommodate parents, adult children, and extended family under one roof with thoughtful separation—dual living zones with independent kitchenettes, separate bathrooms, and soundproofing create privacy while maintaining family closeness.
Shared living designs support elderly relatives through accessible ground-floor suites and reducing isolation whilst enabling independence.
Families benefit from shared childcare responsibilities, pooled resources for higher-quality housing, and strengthened intergenerational bonds. Nira Homes' customisable multi-generation designs adapt to your family's unique needs
Victorian Compliance & Design Standards
Shared living properties must meet strict Victorian building regulations and Class 1b building standards, and Nira Homes designs ensure full compliance from conception to completion. Class 1b buildings house no more than 12 residents with a maximum floor area of 300m², and our designs navigate these parameters seamlessly while maximising functionality and comfort.
Victorian rooming house and boarding house regulations require careful attention to fire safety, ventilation, sanitation, and accessibility standards. Our designs integrate early fire safety strategies, adequate ventilation for all habitable rooms, and sanitary facilities meeting strict council requirements.
We work with local councils, building surveyors, and compliance specialists to ensure your shared living development meets all regulatory requirements, avoiding costly delays and ensuring smooth approvals.
