Just reading your ideas on your bars interior, love the idea of the rustic preloved theme, makes you feel like a visitor at a friends place rather than a customer. I thought an interesting way to display memorabilia which is inexpensive and also looks the part is to use fruit boxes or crates and fix them together in different positions and fix to the wall, for example one vertical screwed to a horizontal etc so they create bookcases, niches on the walls, they also look amazing when lit up by spotlits which will cast nice lighting across them and provide a great shadowed ambience. Moody and eye-catching Ml design

What an amazing job! Using the timber screening to cover the pool pump was a great idea. Thanks, the Clipsal Team

I really love the work of Ross Chapin, he has really influenced my approach to homes in general! He is a US (i think) based architect who champions small homes and has a concept called a pocket home. I've read a lot of his articles and he likes homes that are homey and cottagey and small neighbourhoods with common parklands and great greenspace access. One feature of his homes is they are typically 1-2 bedroom a thing he often does is replace what would in other homes a whole room with a nook. So for example, a hallway might be extra wide but have a nook for an office that could be closed off with a sliding door into a spare room. Or an attic space that can sleep grandkids, dining nooks off the kitchen so entertaining is possible, like an oversized bay window. Decent living spaces. His designs are worth a look at to get some ideas. https://rosschapin.com/plans/small-houses/ I've also stayed at a newly built unit for an elderly person. There was this large foyer space at the entrance with an extra wide door that was level with the paving, no lip at the entrance. It was designed so ambulance access would be easy in an emergency. The large foyer had cupboards with a laundry and storage, and then there was a bathroom directly across, again for easy emergency access. There was a phone in the bathroom too in case of falls. The whole area was tiled from door to bathroom for easy maintenance and access. The kitchen was simply run across one wall of an open plan dining and lounge area with like a corridor of tiling to designate it as separate. You can use flooring changes to create different spaces. It there were no awkward pokey spaces and it was the easiest place I have ever stayed for cleaning and organising. There is a universal access guideline, its worth checking things like bench heights etc... https://www.architecture.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Universal-Access-Policy.pdf

I think more info is helpful. For example I'd be happy with that size but questions that occur to me include does the climate allow for using the pool for a good part of the year or would it be sacrificing garden for something only used for a small part of the year, and how would that size pool sit in the space by which I mean does that leave room around the edge for paving and planting giving it aesthetic appeal even when not in use or would it look shoehorned in against a boundary fence with the visual appeal of an institutional exercise facility? Does the pool company not have any pics of other installations they've done?
