Oh C'mon V Richards...every epoch has its treasures. B4 you make a mad run for it stop a while and consider the period and the reasons for the style...it can be extremely enlightening....unless its not the period you want to escape from but from some of the opinions. I spent many years of my youth outside of Australia living surrounded by old ruins in Europe. I forgot what it was like here. When finally I returned to Australia and found myself living in some of the 60s and 70s places..I found much to admire and wonder about. I may not have fallen in love with much of it but there was a certain mistique and a feel that I can still conjure when talking about certain places. Not saying that it was all romantic and pleasant but it conveyed something of the era and the kind of Aussie from those days.

Definitely pool at B as closer to house best. Could outdoor kitchen be placed at furthest end of alfresco roofed area, so that the cook can look towards the back garden? I think it works best under-roof, and closer to you indoor kitchen for ease of taking food in and out of house. IF you are sure you will build a studio at same time as pool then perhaps everything at the end of your garden is good idea. Just be sure you incorporate a fridge into your outdoor kitchen. Otherwise, you will get tired of carrying food & drinks so far. Another idea since you will have plumbing there, maybe think about an outdoor shower as well (for after swims).
