When the economy does not progress, the cottage style home is the most common type of housing, but as the economy begins to improve, the number of floors of the houses on the market increases.

Although the multi-floor house may be a symbol of economic conditions, it's also a symbol class, sophistication and priorities. Depending on the size of your family, you may need more floors to hold more people. The two-storey home is an all-around perfect design able to hold a family of up to six. And in addition to its purposeful nature, the aesthetic design of this type of home can be truly breathtaking, depending on the architect who created it.

Today we have ideas for everyone! We bring you 24 differently shaped two-storey residential houses ranging from rustic and country style to avant-garde and modern. The endless shapes and figures are guaranteed to truly astound you, so if you are also considering building a two-storey house, let these designs be your guide!

1. Earthy

This is a big earthy coloured home with a red tile roof feels wonderfully classic and has a garage for the family car. Sitting perfectly on slanted land, this box-like design really makes an impression.

2. Narrow

This narrow design is very unique. Concrete and wood fashion a perfect balance and the first floor covered in greenery gives it stunning personality.

3. Totally open

The spacious open-air terrace and large windows are the biggest features of this two-storey residential building, and the whole house also has a strong industrial style.

4. Luxury

An all-white façade with powerful columns and a large arching doorway set the scene for a luxuriously tropical residence. A palm tree the size of the structure completes the tropical image.

5. Clean

Clean white and grey create a futuristic look in this slanted home with slits in its design.

6. Protrusions

Unique geometric shapes protruding from the façade, as well as ingenious colours, make this modern house a dream come true for those with distinct taste.

7. Fortress

This home reminds us of a reinforced fortress with its columns and grids.

8. Imposing

Differentiating beige tones on this large and in charge home give us a clear visual distinction of each storey.

9. Of wood

This home of striking wood screams rustic in every sense of the word. A dark coloured finish also imparts an upscale lifestyle.

10. Simple

This home highlights the average house shape we've grown so accustomed to, but with a slight twist. Instead of having the same distinct shapes, this building offers a sleek design where transitions are seamless.

11. Shaded

The spectacular two-storey house is mainly made of wood as the exterior wall with a white shaded roof to create a unique appearance of unforgettable proportions.

12. Tall

This home has a one-of-a-kind column raises heads and eyebrows. Horizontal and vertical protrusions give a modern, geometric impression, not to mention offer a unique terrace above the garage.

13. Blending

This home blends in with its surroundings perfectly as it echos the hue of the earth. Slim and rectangular windows offer interesting light patterns in the interior.

14. Concrete

Concrete is a favoured building material not only for its structural integrity, but also for its imposing and luxurious appearance.

15. Hovering

The first floor is made of stone to give this home a solid base, and the choice of the second floor of the wood for the home to bring a soft atmosphere. But what's really great about this design is the floating element of the terrace!

16. Curves

Special curvature is the biggest feature of this home. Stone and wood create interesting levels full of enticing texture.

17. Block

Cube designs are quite popular in large cities, but this design lies in the suburbs and makes a bold statement among the average, ranch-style homes.

18. Frames

The storeys in this home are made clear by the architectural frames, giving this façade a camera-like appearance.

19. Slim

The slim and narrow design here is very unique, and the open contrast of pure white against crisp green grass is also very interesting.

20. Stone

This home reminds us of a simple staircase leading to the stars. The calm appearance is due to the muted grey and the terrace adds wonderful outdoor seating options and provides a strong base for the entire foundation.

21. Hexagon

Special geometric lines and simple and powerful white imparts a modern charm on the world and really makes a statement in the architectural community.

22. Strong wooden elements

Solid wood atop reinforced concrete are perfect for a long-standing structure and also a sophisticated atmosphere.

23. Container house

Container homes are one of a kind, especially this one with its T-like structure which connects to the rolling hills.

24. Stone

Although this home seems like a bungalow, it's actually a two-storey structure with the lower half hidden under ground. This style is as luxurious as it is curious!

If you're looking for something a little lower to the ground, then these 10 single-storey homes might be of interest to you.
