Comments (3)I've been thinking about a luggage rack and a smaller closet in each room, with space in it for both some hating clothes and she shelves or drawers. I just don't really think the closets need to be that big. Maybe 36-40" in the double bedroom and 36" in the twin room?...See MoreDesign ides on my new home floor plan please
Comments (25)Emily A permanently roofed al fresco will reduce some summer heat gain (although sitting out there may be uncomfortable) and will do the same for winter. From scanning the comments it appears that you are at a point where you can still may major changes; I cannot recommend strongly enough getting the orientation of your new home right, it will be warmer in winter, cooler in summer and be significantly cheaper (if not free) to run with some appropriately detailed insulation. I do understand the appeal of a floorplan that seems to be all you have aspired too but have seen many a case where people have later regretted those decisions. If you are unsure about the pros and cons of various floorplans then get a design professional (building designer/architect) to give you guidance on an hourly rates basis. good luck...See MoreHelp please!

Comments (20)my suggestion would be to keep the new kitchen in proportion to the size and scale of the whole house so i prefer option 2 with cabinets only as high as the top of the window, tall narrow fridge (less than 80cm wide) next to the back door with wall mounted mw and wall cabinets all round, no tall cabinets, more counter on the fridge wall then stove, sink and dw along the window wall to make sure that there is counter on either side of the stove and sink and locations for a toaster, kettle and other appliances..but exact location of appliances depends on budget and sizes of all the cabinets you want to use.. but, if you plan to remove gas in future, why not start with electric appliances and best insulation ready to add solar power at a future date? ...eg check out the electric air sourced hot water heaters and consider an electric flame heater for the kitchen fireplace and save the gas heater for the hew rear living area although it may be possible to have one heater with hot air connected to the other rooms with an in roof ducting system and, if you have long term plans to alter the rear lean-to research options for renovating the whole house and then plan all the work in stages...eg i would have the new laundry/bathroom next to the refurbished bedroom (master suite?) and have the future new rear living area with the north aspect...See MorePlease help redesign this floor plan
Comments (20)What about this: move carport down so it is in front of the entry, or the end is in line with din/lounge wall, build into the carport space for new kitchen: two long runs of bench and island. Perhaps back to the west. Roof being held up permitting! then open the kit, din and living (with new raised floor) into one large open area. Then you can afford to pinch some space for more storage in you need it. Personally I would remove the clear stuff off the alfresco and have the north sun stream into the home for FREE warming in winter and plant a deciduous vine to shade cover the windows in summer. Plant more garden! I am in Melb too so I know how well that will work! happy to assist further..... Cheers Margot...See More- 7 years ago
