Hi Luke, that's what I'm trying to find out. It might have been ProSpecs, perhaps? Suggested as a way of generating specifications for work you want to get done.

I have just moved into a new house where we designed a kitchen/scullery very similar to yours - kitchen for preparation and cooking while being part of the household and the scullery for dirty dishes and storage of crockery and food items that are used occasionally or for sandwiches and snacks (little preparation). There is also a drinks area just outside the scullery (with a very small sink and a tap that has a choice of ready hot or chilled water - it is used constantly). The fridge is placed in the middle between the main preparation kitchen and the scullery where the toaster is also kept. People wanting coffee, toast, snacks can access everything without bothering the person/ people cooking. Our hot plates and wall oven are separated by an L-shaped bench with a single sink, which works very well. However, the sink is much closer to the oven than the hot plates which was bad planning. I underestimated the number of times I move between the sink and the stove top (including rinsing my hands between tasks). The sink needs to be close to the cooktop - and, because you are not stacking dirty or drying dishes there, the amount of bench space between the cooktop and sink does not need to be all that large. One other thing that I am really glad we upgraded to is a synthetic stone bench that is allows you to put pans on directly from the oven (most do not) - brilliant. It also allows you to cut directly in in. I usually don't do this, not because I ma concerned about the bench top but because I dont want to blunt my good knives :)

Mine often look like that at the end of summer due to the heat and lack of rainfall, though that's not the case this summer. It surprises me because I thought furry grey plants are supposed to be very heat tolerant. It's not in patches though, if there has been a long hot dry spell they all show the effects. So I'm looking at your picture and wondering what could cause one specific patch. Is it possible a dog has been rolling in it or something like that maybe?

I have changed the living area to the North East, knowing that you have such a large lot these suggestions could be placed in any direction. Your driveway coming up in the North corner will give great access to the living quarters and then follow onto the parking and garage to the rear. The proposed house to be built on the other side of the livable shed. The entrance into the Gym steps back in on the western boundary which will provide cover plus highlight windows on the western side will provide light and ventilation and a cross breeze via doors and windows on the other side of the large open space. I have combined a Locker room with the laundry opening into the 3 way bathroom. There's also a small room which can be used for storage or O/N clients. All doors should be a min 900 in the Gym area for disabled visitors. The living quarters have a large WIR for the your sons partner and the kitchen could have a washer dryer in the cupboard marked Pantry if wanted. By having the living space facing this way allows you to see any approaching visitors and clients
