Garage on the Right House Plans Australia
House plans with the garage on the right side of the home, the side your driveway runs down. The side your garage sits on decides where the driveway goes, which way the living areas open, and how the home presents to the street. Browse right garage plans from Australia's major builders.
Every plan here is reviewed by an architect so the main living areas still face north for free winter warmth and natural summer cooling. Set your block width, depth and which way north faces to see the right garage plans that fit your site.
This page lists 281 plans, from builders including Ausmar Homes, Firstyle Homes, Better Built Homes, Pycon Homes, priced from $409k to $475k, from builders rated 3.5 to 4.9 on Google.
Architect-reviewed for real Australian blocks
Dudils checks each approved plan for the direction its living areas need to face, the block envelope it fits, and whether the garage or driveway placement supports passive solar design. It is a shortlist for better conversations with your builder, designer or architect.

Summer: eaves block sun
Winter: lower angle lets sun in
In winter the low northern sun streams through north facing windows for free heat. In summer a roof overhang blocks the high sun. Good orientation cuts your energy bills with no mechanical systems.

What makes these garage on the right plans different?
Dudils lists plans that have been reviewed for north facing living areas, block fit and practical orientation, rather than simply repeating a builder catalogue category.
Does north need to be at the backyard?
No. A good plan can work whether north falls to the backyard, the street or either side, as long as the main living areas and glazing are arranged to collect northern light.
Should I still check this with my builder or designer?
Yes. Dudils helps you shortlist better-oriented plans, but final siting, setbacks, window changes and energy compliance should be confirmed with your builder, designer or architect.
