Floor plan feedback
Comments (17)Hi Bella D, Option 3 is a winner hands down. A few things to consider: * You do not want a bathroom/toilet directly off your or dining area. While that might be ok when it's just your family at home, it won't be with guests and toilet noise. * The bathroom placement restricts the amount of heat moving up the stair case. This is a major problem in open plan two-storey homes. In summer upstairs becomes unusable because it's so hot and in winter downstairs is freezing. * You could move the bathroom to the left so it is under your ensuite. Having all the water use areas in one spot (upstairs and down) reduces how much hot water travels and sits unused in pipes - it can be a considerable energy cost over a year. Locate your hot water as close as poss. This position would also block noise to the bedrooms. * The only prob is you have no laundry in this design. Could you move the kitchen towards the back wall and re-arrange a small laundry/bathroom here. How much washing/ironing do you have. I don't need a huge laundry in my modest house. I don't want to spend too much time in there. Just need storage for dirty and clean clothes plus machines. Good luck. BTW, which way is north - your whole design should have the living areas facing north and excluding summer sun from the east and west and have minimal windows facing south - they just give poor quality light and add to heat loss in winter.....See MoreRenovation Floor Plan Feedback
Comments (19)Oklouise that is awesome! I think that could work! That gets the toilet away from kitchen and makes toilet almost underneath the other toilet. Which means less plumbing = cheaper build. We would have to add a cupboard into the kitchen as the door to the toilet/current bedroom is indented from the fridge. But that's easy enough because we need to put new floor boards in and need to cut down a few kitchen cupboards due to floor height. We have a Brisbane city view from our northerly aspect so it imperative that we keep that. We were hoping to get rid of the balcony door on the study. We are tossing up whether to put the pool in the back yard or front but need to get a pool builder out to cost us on the difference. Could you imagine sitting in the pool looking over the city?...See MoreFloor-plan feedback/ideas needed -What do you think of this floor-plan
Comments (51)siriuskey, Yes, the courtyard is open to the sky (no roof over it), I assume this is what you mean by double story. Ref. below photos, I would love to get this look, especially the first and last photo, where you can see family living space from the first floor. I can't achieve this in my plan as it eats a lot of floor space upstairs. The referred plan (photos) has a very big void combining staircase, hallway and dining area. I know it is not easy with cooling and heating when you have such a big void. So, I explored a few ideas (with my limited knowledge on this topic) before achieving the current floorplan. I have also thought about, in my current plan, extending the void on the staircase to the dining area (it is more like L shape) but i wasn't sure if that makes any difference. keen to hear your thoughts....See MoreEnsuite Floor plan feedback please
Comments (20)To close out this conversation... we decided in the end to have a separate powder room and this is where the layout is sitting currently. No feedback needed, just thought it would be good to close the look. Thanks for all the help....See MoreGloria
