General, unprofessional comments:

- Is there a need for the "living" to be fully enclosed? If there is a sliding door which separates the "family" from the hallway, it's not clear to me why the living needs to be an enclosed space. If it was opened up, the hallway wouldn't feel as long and narrow.

- I would reconsider the double doors into the main bedroom. Unless that's a design feature you really love.

- Is 5.7m wide enough for a double garage? Is there a reason for the small "room" in the back, right corner of the garage?

- Do you want to always be entering your house through the pantry from the garage? Or is the pantry actually some kind of mud room for storing shoes, bags, etc?

- I would try to have a separate toilet in the ensuite for visual and aural privacy.

- Do you need the wall with the fridge to be a wall? Could you move the fridge and simply return the bench or have a half-height wall? That may also help to open up the hallway.

- What will be on the wall between the family and the second hallway and between the family and bed 4? Whatever is there will be viewed from the front door. It looks like your TV, etc will need to go on one of those walls, so you may want to think about the view from the front door.

- I would try to get rid of the linen cupboard in the second hallway so you don't have a "S" shaped hallway and to make it wider.

- Depending upon the total existing or planned number of occupants, you may wish to consider turning the main bathroom into a three way bathroom, perhaps by pinching some space from the laundry.

- I would consider adding second windows in beds 3 and 4, although the additional window in bed 4 should be high enough to retain privacy from the alfresco area.

- I would try to reposition the door to bed 3 and maybe the BIR in bed 3. The angled door looks really out of place and I'm not sure how it would function when "open".

Good luck!

Mine are also general suggestions from a non pro...

It would be good if the garage could go on the south-east & allow for more use of the north for living or main bedroom.

The laundry may be easier to access if swapped with the bathroom & wc.

Otherwise if laundry could then combine with or redo storage allocated in the garage it would give direct access from garage to current hall beside kitchen to living area. Also would free up the current allocated space for more storage instead of the current 2nd hallway arrangement.

The fridge could be better on the long wall & a half wall to separate the kitchen from the main point of entry. if the garage was swapped over to the south side, then entry, lounge turned across front with main bed WIR & ensuite between the lounge & kitchen wall perhaps. This would put the main bedroom on the north which could have external access to a private courtyard...Just some alternate ideas for you???
