FAQ Corner: Can Modular Homes Go Two Storeys?
When most people think of modular homes, they picture a sleek, single-storey build that arrives on site fully finished. But modular design has moved far beyond that. Today, two-storey modular homes are not only possible, they’re redefining what modern coastal, rural and urban living looks like in Western Australia.
At MIRA Residential, we specialise in creating modular homes that are designed for life and built for the future. And for many clients, going up instead of out is the smartest way to achieve the lifestyle they want.
Why Build Up?
Two-storey modular homes unlock possibilities that traditional single-level designs can’t always offer:
-
Smarter use of land – Perfect for compact blocks or view-driven sites, a double level gives you more home without taking up precious outdoor space.
-
Views that matter – By lifting living areas to the upper floor, you can take full advantage of coastal panoramas, sunsets, or leafy streetscapes. Our in-house designers carefully position windows, balconies, and living zones to frame these outlooks and make them part of daily life.
-
Light and ventilation – Two levels allow better natural light flow and cross-ventilation, which means cooler summers, brighter interiors, and an overall more sustainable consciousness.
-
Faster build times – Like all MIRA modular homes, your double-storey build is completed in our controlled factory environment, with double-storey homes typically in 14–18* weeks once approvals are final.
*T&Cs apply. Construction time is dependent on design factors. Speak to our team for more information.
Great two-storey design isn’t just about stacking one module on top of another. It’s about creating spaces that feel connected, intuitive, and personal. That’s why MIRA offers a paid dedicated design service which includes:
-
A site survey to understand your land, orientation, and environment.
-
Concept development that captures how you live and what matters most to you.
This upfront investment ensures your home makes the most of your site and avoids costly changes later.
A Higher Standard as Standard
Whether you choose a single or double-storey design, every MIRA home comes with an impressive level of finish built in. Our quality inclusions that come standard with every MIRA home combine practicality with style:
