Your Guide to Luxurious Reverse Living Beach House Plans
Looking to create your dream beachside home? An expertly designed beach house should capture the light, air and natural beauty of coastal living — and let you soak in the beautiful ocean views!
Whether you’re right by the beach or you want a home that’s bathed in sunlight, a reverse living house plan is a great way to enhance the coastal feel of your home!
So, what is a reverse living house plan, and why is it a popular choice for coastal homes?
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the best reverse living beach house plans to make your home even more beautiful. Read on!
What are reverse living beach house plans?
Reverse living beach house plans are two-storey homes that have the kitchen, dining room and main living areas upstairs with the rest of the bedrooms downstairs. In some reverse living plans, the master bedroom and ensuite will be placed upstairs as well, with the remaining bedrooms and spare rooms placed downstairs.
This modern, unique style was popularised in Nordic countries but has become popular in beachside areas and coastal locations, as it lets you enjoy the view from your main living areas!
What are the benefits of reverse floor plans with living spaces upstairs?
By placing your kitchen, dining room and living rooms upstairs, reverse living two-storey homes give you the best possible view from your living areas. With stunning coastal views, your space will be even more beautiful — and more valuable — for you and your guests.
Some other benefits of reverse living beach house plans include:
- More natural light — By placing your main living areas upstairs, reverse living plans bring more natural light to the spaces where you spend the most time. Aside from making your space more beautiful, natural light has a range of health benefits and can increase the value of your home, too!
- Improved energy efficiency — With more natural light, you won’t need to use as much electricity throughout the day in your living room and kitchen. Plus, your first-storey bedrooms won’t absorb as much sunlight and will stay cooler in summer, so you won’t need to use fans or air conditioning as often to get a good night’s sleep.
- Better airflow — A set of large windows on your second storey will help the coastal breeze circulate throughout your main living rooms, which is a must-have in scorching Australian summers!
Features of a great reverse living beach house
If you’re interested in building a reverse living two-storey home, it’s important to make sure your floor plan is up to scratch.
Unlike traditional homes, there are several unique requirements for reverse floor plans with living spaces upstairs. Specifically, the light exposure, airflow and position of your home will need to be considered throughout the design and building process.
Here are the most valuable features of reverse living beach house plans:
- Large front-facing windows
- A second-storey deck
- Open plan/spacious upstairs living areas
- Optimal position towards the view
- A beautiful modern facade
