I found it here...but God knows how much it's worth... http://www.notey.com/@contemporist_unofficial/external/788254/volver-by-studio-14-for-terzani-raquo-contemporist.html

For $100k you may be too ambitious on changing the existing structure. You may get new flooring, new kitchen cupboards and reconfigured the existing lounge room into a master (for that bigger space) with a small en-suite. But you will loose your dining room. I would be looking at a 10 year plan. Draft up what you want and stage manage, it will all depend on family needs. If you are changing room configurations in a brick house, you add big dollars. You need precise information eg engineering report on load bearing and structural integrity. It may be worthwhile thinking on an extension to the rear to gain a master suite. Best of luck.

is this an existing house or a plan for a proposed new building? we need to see the whole floor plan showing the location of windows and external doors.. describe the climate, location of north, how you plan to use the spaces and what are the ages of the people who will live in the house and why don't you have a bathroom or powder room downstairs?

I am definitely seeing that we will be better off removing the wall and utilising the current hall space. Dreamer thank you for your suggestions. I agree with keeping options open for wall space. There is a full entertainment deck the length of current kitchen/dining/living area and wanted to connect that with servery, hence the idea of the dining becoming pantry. Oklouise I am seeing your idea of moving the wall and creating a small entrance to study and master as a good option. Would this limit me to a cooktop with under bench oven, as was hoping to do wall oven. Could the dishwasher remain in the same place? HU-15134623887 houses sits north east facing street. North would be front of Master end of the house. I really appreciate all your expert thoughts and ideas.
