This collection of two storey houses shows that not only are they stylish and striking buildings, but adding another level can also be a clever way to maximise the space of your property. If you love spacious homes, but aren't sure if you can extend your home in the way that you want, then build up! 

Whether you are after more space for a growing family, need to add an extra office, recreation area or bedroom, or are undecided if going vertical is for you, then take a look at these innovative examples of how two storeys can be an elegant solution to your problems, and a great way to get adventurous with architecture.

1. Layer Upon Layer

This eclectic two storey house designed by architects HABITAT ARQUITETURA is a great example of how practical architecture doesn't have to be sober or sombre. Emphasising the fact that this home has many levels and is more than your standard, boring one storey house, the facade is proudly multi faceted and playfully resembles shoeboxes stacked up. 

Luscious gardens have been planted on the different balconies making sure this is one interesting and quirky looking home. A great way to take advantage of the jutting out angles and spaces that would otherwise be left empty and dead.  

2. Proportion Play

Daring and distinctive, this expansive home is another great example of getting the most from your property type. Built on an unfriendly sloping hill, the multi levels of this home overcome any obstacles created by uneven ground. 

The facade is kept sophisticated in cool creams, beiges and coffee tones. Windows are placed smartly and break up the exterior walls to create eye catching shapes and play with proportions. The result is a large, classic, airy home suited to any modern family who cherish space and privacy at home. 

3. Big, Bold and Beautiful

This dramatic property in Zapopan, Mexico is quite the sight. With almost entirely smooth white exterior walls that are only broken up by windows running in strips around the building, it is a vision of artistry. 

Created by Arki3D who are known for their complex, intellectual projects, specialising in multi-storey homes, it is more like a large scale contemporary artwork, than your standard home. Proving that when you go big, you can go bold, and beautiful at the same time. 

4. The Perfect Balance of Yin And Yan

Another project by Arki3D, this two storey home is exquisite, and the look is very effective. The power of this look is due to contrasts – whether in colour or in shape. It is built from black and white materials, and has wooden accents throughout. Large white walls are broken up with thin strips of black, corners spliced by windows, and horizontal balconies balanced with vertical details. 

This house is trendy but timeless. It is simple, yet complex. It is a true vision of minimalism while achieving maximum impact: a real yin and yang. 

5. Like A Fine Wine

LA RIOJA, Arki3d Arki3d Casas modernas

This two storey home, La Rioja, is named after the wine region in Spain. And just like a fine wine, it has distinctive flavours, with subtle surprises that you discover slowly as you work your way through it. With it's unusual colour combination of white, chocolate brown and concrete grey, it is as unique and inventive as it's name. 

It is made up of a network of complex shapes and has many intriguing corners tucked away throughout. A great way to showcase that creating a two storey home can be one of the most exciting ways to build today.
