The following are all general, non-professional comments. I'm not sure how the occupant of Bed 2 will feel about their primary bathroom window facing the "front" of the house as other family members, guests and potentially even people driving past will be able to see into the bathroom. I would consider swapping the toilet and shower so that you can have a big window on the side or potentially even slotting that ensuite between Bed 2 and Bed 3 and having a big window on the side for Bed 2 and a "high" window along the front for Bed 2. It will depend upon how many people will be living in the house, but since the main bathroom appears intended to serve as both the powder room and the "ensuite" for Bed 3, I would consider separating the toilet into a dedicated powder room. That way, the occupant of Bed 3 has "privacy" from guests for their vanity and shower and if they're in the shower, guests can still use the toilet. I would widen the hallway by pushing the laundry and media room out a bit. I don't think it would cost too much extra to widen the hallway, but I think you would appreciate it as it is currently a little long and narrow and the "focal point" as you enter is simply the door to the main bedroom. I would consider furniture placement for Living 1. On the plans, it looks a little squished, especially if people were sitting and relaxing at the indoor dining table. It might be a good idea to pinch some space from the alfresco or to combine Living 1 and Living 2 to create a lovely, generously proportioned space. It strikes me as a little off that the fireplace will be "behind" the sofas in Living 1. I think most people like the fireplace to be the focal point, but the fireplace currently seems like a last minute addition. Do you want to be able to sit in front of the fire or are you happy for it to be at your back? I would ensure that the allocated space for the TV in Living 1 will fit your desired TV. TV sizes are getting bigger and bigger and if you're planning on having a big TV in Living 1 (in addition to the TV in the media room), then it would be good to ensure that it won't dominate the angled wall (and distract from the views). I don't understand the purpose of Living 2. With a separate media room and Living 1, it's unclear whether Living 2 is meant to serve as another living room or whether it is actually intended to function as a study. Do you have a collection which will be displayed in the nook opposite Living 2? If so, it seems that the "display" won't be easily visible to guests. If you have a particular collection which you want to proudly display, then you may wish to consider repositioning this nook. Everyone has a different point of view, but I would try to separate the toilet in the ensuite. I would have thought that the person using the dressing table in the main bedroom would appreciate some natural daylight, but there doesn't appear to be a window that will service that area. The same comment applies for the study nook opposite the kitchen. Good luck!

Great job what budget did you have thanks sally

Hi Complete Kitchens....Yes, I realise that 20k could get a good standard kitchen (our own one recently done was about 26k including scullery), I'm more talking about the ones that talk about doing kitchen, bathroom, painting and even moving some walls on 20k. What my point was, is its great when people like you actually give an idea of a cost of a project - it's easy to get fired up with inspiration and then get thoroughly dissapointed when reality hits! Things are expensive these days and I think for some who may not have done any renovations to their house for years, they don't really have a lot of idea of the costs involved.

Like others here, at first glance I assumed the view of the water was to the east, but then realised from the sun diagram that north is up the page, so I'm guessing this might be in Bundeena? I agree with most of the other suggestions and have a few of my own as well, will summarise here: - the pitched roof dominates too much, I would suggest the new master bedroom suite has a flat room, similar to the new entry; - the garage is too small and can easily be larger, especially wider and the stair could go down the side instead of at the end; - the foyer/entry is too small for a luxury property, really just a stair landing. I suggest widening it to the line of the new bedroom, and also pulling the entry doors out further to give more space there; - car turning space is questionable. Maybe the external stair could flip over to the other side of the entry to give better reversing room, if it is needed at all (3 stairs???); - give more space to the ensuite, less to the walk-in-robe; - give more space to study, taken from bed room; - angled wall (in line with deck edge) in bedroom instead of re-entrant corner would make it more spacious and allow the bed to move forward with better access; - door to laundry from pantry instead of bath room.
