Extension ideas- PLEASE!
Comments (8)gorgeous location but if morning sun comes in master bedroom and bathroom then the afternoon sun would come in all along the verandah but effect depends on local climate and is there's enough distance from the side of the existing carport to the boundary for a double and what can be seen past the end of the verandah? (not the tank which will need to move) and what is the dimensions of the old bathroom, study and laundry and here's another idea for the extension with a total area about 61 sq m depending on building materials and i've added a few steps to allow for a slope and slab on ground but there's a million different options that could suit (usually depends on budget) but the views should be the real focus and keep the simple style of the original house but a courtyard between old and new could also be interesting??...See Moreextension ideas
Comments (2)an extension needs to be planned in relation to the whole house and the block of land...is it 5 m to the fence or 5 m plus at least 1m for set back then the side fence? how far back can you go?..what is the distance from the house to the back, both sides and front boundaries and we need to know the inside dimensions of all the existing rooms and to understand the existing roof ...do you have photos from the back and both sides, what's on the other side and back of the house, is there a driveway and separate garage, are the bathroom and the other rooms at the back an old extension with a skillion roof or part of the original house with a hip roof or gable roof, is the floor level throughout or is there a step down and/or concrete slab, what are the walls, floor and roof made out of, what is the ceiling heights and describe your climate...See MoreYour thoughts on my extension ideas?
Comments (41)I'am late but would like to add the following I would try to keep the original house along with roof .Adding a new space from the left boundary if allowed if not start at set back 900?. This would include a Master suite Kitchen with WIP and family room. This space can be resized to better suite your budget. The carport to the front for easier access and better use of open space ( driveways are wasted space and log narrow ones are horrible to navigate ie: reversing) The carport with a rear solid wall creates a garden courtyard and provides a lovely outlook for the Master suite. Guests entering into the large living MFR extra light comes from the new sliding doors out to the new side courtyard. The old entrance becomes a separate WC/shower room with a hand basin not shown. Keeping the family bathroom and laundry insitu with a powder room within that space to service family and guests internally and externally. Any of these changes would need a local professional to approve. The addition could also be done as a separate building with narrow breezeway/s connecting both old and new...See MoreExtension ideas
Comments (26)it's disappointing to have such a narrow gap between new and old parts of the house when there could be a great courtyard and/or clothes drying area and better use of the garden along the eastern fence, the master bedroom feels cramped and the laundry too big, where will you park/garage a car and carry in groceries and how do you plan to use the rumpus room as i would rather have the rumpus and laundry swopped with master bedroom suite for more indoor out connection...See MoreGrace Lightfoot
