Top 3 Two-Storey Prefab Modular Home Projects

Written by Alana McNab | May 01, 2025

When it comes to modern living, more homeowners are thinking up—not out. Two-storey modular homes offer the ideal balance of smart design, generous space, and striking street appeal. At Anchor Homes, we specialise in designing and delivering high-quality prefab homes across Victoria, southern New South Wales, and the ACT—and our two-storey projects are some of our most impressive yet.

In this article, we’ll walk you through three standout two-storey prefab home projects we've built, share insights into how the modular process works, and also give you a behind-the-scenes look at a two-storey home delivery on site.

Whether you're looking for a custom home builder or exploring modular as an alternative to traditional builds, you’re in the right place.

 

How Does Building a Two-Storey Modular Home Work?

As one of Australia’s leading modular two-storey home builders, we’ve refined a process that delivers quality, efficiency, and design flexibility—all from our advanced off-site construction facility in Victoria.

Each home is precision-built in modules at one of our off-site facilities. For a two-storey modular home, the lower and upper levels are constructed separately and completed with internal linings, joinery, windows, and fittings before being transported to site. Once on location, the modules are installed using a crane, positioned and joined with precision—often within a single day. It’s a fast, streamlined alternative to the lengthy timelines of traditional builds.

Benefits of prefab modular construction:

  • Faster build times
  • Minimal disruption on site
  • Greater quality control
  • Lower risk of weather delays
  • Sustainable construction methods

Now that we’ve covered how the two-storey modular build works, it’s time to showcase three standout projects...


Project 1: Rye – Stunning Coastal Retreat

Design: Custom 
Facade: Cubehaus

This bold and modern custom design in Rye is a showstopper on the Mornington Peninsula. Despite the challenge of a sloping site, our team skillfully crafted a home that perfectly suits the block’s shape and natural features. The result is a bold, cutting-edge design with refined coastal elements.

  • Spotted gum timber cladding adds warmth, texture, and natural character to the exterior.
  • The Cubehaus facade delivers a bold, contemporary edge with clean lines and strong form.
  • Premium finishes and fixtures are featured throughout, combining style with lasting quality.

Project 2: Olinda – Luxury Home In The Dandenong Ranges

Design: Custom 
Facade: Cubehaus

Nestled in Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges, this custom-built prefab home blends seamlessly with the surrounding bushland. Our client’s brief called for a family home that embraced its environment—both in design and footprint.

  • Expansive windows capture and frame the stunning forest outlook, filling the home with natural light.
  • Built to meet a BAL-40 bushfire rating, offering enhanced safety and long-term peace of mind.
  • We constructed the garage on-site after installation, completing the custom design to suit the property and lifestyle.

Project #3: Daylesford – Modernised Countryside Home

Design: Barwon (Modified)
Facade: Cubehaus

Built as a country escape, this two-storey home is based on our popular Barwon design, with smart modifications to suit our client's vision.

  • A modern Cubehaus facade paired with spotted gum feature cladding allows the home to blend effortlessly into its bushland setting.
  • The home has been carefully designed and constructed to meet BAL-29 requirements.
  • Expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape beautifully, drawing in natural light and connecting the indoors with the outdoors.
