Home extension/renovation ideas for tough layout
Comments (8)This is really a job for a professional, as there are so many implications for town planning, fire and acoustic separation between dwellings (covered under the building regulations), legal (are you on seperate titles, or is it strata titled), front setbacks, and structural implications. I haven't seen too many houses that have been subdivided into two units that are on two seperate titles in recent times as the complexities are so challenging with the current planning and building regulations.

Comments (8)We're just doing our small ensuite at the moment and have used a marble-look matt tile on the walls and floor. I liked the tile but did have some concerns it might look a bit "busy". Now that it's in though, I really like it. We have gone with a white vanity with a pale marbled benchtop and chrome fittings rather than black as I was concerned that the black would date quicker.
