The Tasman is our two-storey shed home design - the smartest way to get 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms without a massive slab. Going up instead of out means a smaller concrete footprint, lower site costs, and more of your block left for living. At $112,900 for the kit, the Tasman delivers serious space for families who need bedrooms upstairs and living downstairs.
The Tasman suits families who need 4+ bedrooms but want to minimise their slab size. It is also the pick for sloping blocks where building wide is expensive - go vertical instead. Popular in Victoria, Tasmania, and cooler climates where a compact, well-insulated home makes more sense than spreading out.
Total build cost for the Tasman typically ranges from $350,000 to $480,000. Two-storey builds have higher framing and scaffolding costs but save significantly on slab and roofing.
Kit price is for the steel frame, cladding, roofing, doors, windows, and full structural engineering. Site costs (slab, plumbing, electrical, fitout) are additional and vary by location. Read our full pricing breakdown →
Every Tasman can be modified. Change dimensions, add or remove bays, adjust the roof pitch, reposition rooms, and choose your COLORBOND® colours. Use our 3D designer to see your changes in real time before you commit.
