Want to add to a heritage house? Thought of using a removal house?
Comments (65)Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. Houzz never ceases to delight, I am so glad I began this renovation even though it was an incredibly stressful journey at the time!! Here are a few more pics taken over the last 2 years....See MoreDesigning and building our first home
Comments (8)Fantastic. How exciting. First off I’d suggest going to the yourhome.gov.au website and the Undecover Architect blog and podcasts. The information on both is invaluable. Listen to the undercover architect podcasts from the start of series 1. This is probably the most important of her four series. Everything else follows on from that. Whatever your budget or style her information will help you make considered decisions about things you probably wouldn’t otherwise consider but which are really important. The yourhome website has a wealth of information about building a comfortable home for your climate. These are just starting points but they will help you make informed decisions about how you will build (volume builder, custom build, prefabricated etc) and what type of home. Floor plan and orientation are key to a comfortable house that works well for your family. And bigger is not always better. The architect we are using generally suggests a smaller house than clients start of wanting, but if well designed it will work better than a large, poorly designed house. Good luck with everything....See MoreDesign Advice for first home new build
Comments (35)I'm going to thro a wobbly into this mix: Have you thought about going two storey so there is some outside space for boys to play? Looking at your site plan play is either in the pool or the street! Master bedroom, with all the robe you want upstairs and a kids free zone! Or boys rooms above as long has they do not own hob nail boots! Then do not use ALL the extra space on ground for your film works! Seriously this would give you some breathing space and some real outdoor living area to enjoy which you can do in Ipswich climate. Four beds separate bath rooms and stairs above with a laundry chute. Down stairs a real laundry (proportional to a five bed house) A powder room with shower for after pool. Your study of a size worthwhile and theatre room for family second sitting room as well as clients. The master can then have better sized robe, all the bits you want in ensuite including separate loo (lovely idea) but please on outside wall with window. Personally, I'm not one for two storey but in this tight site I think it would be much better. Good Luck, Margot...See MoreOur neighbour didn't ask our permission to paint our house !
Comments (18)Strange of the neighbour's builder to paint the side of your house without any instructions or payment. I suspect that the paint may actually have been to cover something up that the builder made. Perhaps they accidentally splashed or spilt paint onto your side facing wall, and they decided that it would be easier to paint it out than clean it up. Possibly hoping that nobody would notice until they had been paid for the job! Dr Retro...See MoreMarco Barbosa Zamudio
