plans are so much easier to read when loaded this way and there's almost nothing i would want to change except to have dual access to the guest bathroom from the laundry hall (easier to reach from outside through the laundry) and swop the guest toilet and shower for better wheelchair access ...otherwise you should be very happy with the plan, your new home should be gorgeous and functional

i have a problem with the awkward location of stairs that wastes the sunroom, makes the rumpus room difficult to furnish and the front door has a view of the toilet ...beginning with central stairs and potentially modifying doorways to allow for the stairs without having to walk across the rumpus or upstairs living room attempts to avoid the big wide hallways affect without useful locations for furniture ..the rumpus room now has space for comfortable furnishing and private access to a full bathroom and good sized laundry...using the old sunroom for a compartmented bathroom retains the original walls and windows and includes space for a bathtub and shower with big views.. we should always include real scale sized furniture to establish the best walking paths across rooms and my suggestions also retain the size of the original kitchen to keep more of the original walls and ceilings and retains the proportion of the bay window and allows space for an alternate access to bed 3 (preferable the linen cupboard would remain in this location) and consider avoiding the enclosed pantry (would the door ever be closed?) in favour of a more open space for better light and ventilation and maybe a herb garden window box in the bay window with external blinds to exclude western sun.. there's a fridge closer to the outdoors, stacked wo and MW to define the pantry and only a small sink in the island for more useful set down space for shopping and serving meals

Can you please stop posting unless you are responding to someones design dilemma. If everyone used this as an advertising site it would loose its purpose. It is really turning me off your company.

I knew of BAL but I had to google that one. https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/32488/Community-Resilience-Fact-Sheet-Building-elements-in-the-flame-zone.pdf Not related to that but if you don't have a plan yet hopefully you can make the most of orientation. So many questions are about floorplans which already have been designed and are limited in what can be altered. I find it surprising and disappointing that after so many years there is still such a lack of attention to orientation. Which part of NSW are you in, is the climate mild or do you need to design for cold winters as well as hot summers? You'll want to plan your landscaping for the conditions too. https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/how-do-i-fireproof-my-outdoor-area-in-8-easy-steps-stsetivw-vs~129216102
