Floor Plan Advice
Comments (3)Life’s a compromise Hannah. I can see what you are doing amd it will make the house more usable, In answer to your questions. The ideal bedroom size is 3.6x3 which allows 0.6 depth for cupboard. But there are plenty of people with much smaller bedrooms. The biggest prob I see is the toilet with no basin. Not nice if bathroom occupied. The laundry is fine but you don’t seem to have any general storage. Think What do you need to store. Toys, books, linen, bags, Xmas decorations, brooms, vacuum, coats….....See MoreFirst draft floor plan advice
Comments (24)hi, IF you are on acreage, I do NOT understand WHY you are not ORIENTATING the House to have the MAJORITY of the rooms facing NORTH. ( the Living room + Dining + your Master Bedroom and leading to a nice sunny Outdoor Entertaining area on the deep-verandah etc).. Read up on "Passive Solar Design" = - orientate the main living areas to capture the Northern sun . and - minimum 500mm Eaves (you have the Verandah's, so this will be good. and - minimum 1500mm Eaves for the rooms facing West; and - provide plenty of flow thru ventilation. - I love my Louvre Windows.. and - insulation & floors and walls that are thicjk. and - double-glazing (if you can afford it) - utility areas such as bathrooms, robes, kitchen can be on the Southern side of the house.. Railing - yes, you are right that it is not needed - the 2 pictures that you have provided are lovely. Access to Outdoor Entertaining - if I am reading your floor plan correctly - access is ONLY to the Front yard / side yard - to the HEAXAGONAL Porch section -- this is lovely - but will it and the 2 metre porch be enough space? - WHERE are you going to put your BBQ etc? oklouise - I totally agree with you - NEED to decide WHERE the Garage, driveway etc will be. bigreader - I agree with all of your comments and especially that the Lounge/ dining size is not big enough....See MoreHelp!

Comments (13)before making any realistic suggestions we need to understand the existing spaces but your plan shows bed 2 and 3 as projecting out further than bed 1 but the roof doesn't show a corresponding change of shape?...assuming that the roof is correct you need to add dimensions for width of kitchen, laundry, toilet, bathroom and width of original bed 3 and can you please show locations of windows and external doors and what is space beyond the existing living? ... pending confirmation of details my suggestions would be to build new kids bedrooms and bathroom at the back with part of bed 3 as the rumpus, have a master suite at the front with part of bed 3 as wiw and original bathroom as ens and powder room and rearrange the old laundry or add a new extra laundry with the new kids rooms and use original laundry for a pantry...the biggest challenge will be the new roof but maybe the extension could have a skillion roof tucked under the original eaves but that depends on available ceiling heights...See MoreRenovation floor plan advice needed
Comments (3)as long as the bench etc in the entry is low and shallow there should be enough space in the entry and wiw although Kate's idea of stealing space off the generous bedroom would allow for more .. my suggestions also includes tall 150mm deep shallow shelves in the wip (partly recessed into the wall) provides storage for cans, bottles and packets and avoid the corner cupboards in the narrow space and i've included some ideas for the kitchen...See MoreDell123
