What is it you are wanting to change?

Hi Mij57, Something like this would look stunning without being too bust. https://www.tilecloud.com.au/products/view/97-berry-timber-look-white-tile Hope that helps! TCTeam

Can you have a slab floor for an easement carport these days? I know years ago you could not. It just occurred to me, do you mean easement or setback? Just to confirm, is north to the top of the map? That's very challenging as the northern property has reasonably good orientation, dependent on overshadowing by the neighbours though, but the southern property will be dark and cold, unless you do some fancy architectural solutions with clerestory windows, and I have no idea if you are allowed to have clerestory windows on the inside of a duplex, plus you do not want to create potential roof drainage issues. Is there any reason for not considering one property behind the other, and two storey? Another question, how flat is the block? It is surprising how much slope can become apparent on what looks like a reasonably flat block when the levelling is done.

as dreamer already suggested a more spacious one bedroom downstairs with small kitchen plus laundry would be more attractive for a couple than two small bedrooms and almost no living space but also depends on if you are aiming for overnight or long term tenants and space leftover from stair well could be useful for enlarging the kitchen with a pantry and upstairs laundry and new entry allows for a study space and master bedrooms suite but you will need to confirm that the old carport is suitable for updating to living quarters but please explain where you think there is space for an extra lounge room apart from downstairs?
