Need help - New Build - Front Elevation
Comments (25)From what I can see, the only way to enter and exit the laundry is from the outdoors. Is this intentional? Would you never see yourself or someone else in family popping into the laundry to run a load of clothes? Or wash a dog in the laundry sink? Maybe this is the way it is there?...See MoreAdvice on new build floorplan
Comments (26)Hi there - a few things stand out to me... yes keep bedroom sizes no less than 3000mm wide, offset the door to the laundry so you can't see the toilet from the front door - yuk! Minimise/simplify number of piers by turning front porch 90º. Keep the footprint as simple as possible. With oklouise's plan, which i think makes more sense, cut 300mm into each of the bedrooms and push out towards the left into the deck. Much better use of space. If west is to the left put a whole wall of cupboards along in bed 1 and get rid of the others, and add door out to deck on the (new) north wall. Do you really need a bath? Living in country they are wasteful of water even if it goes back onto your land. Alternatively have a combined shower/bath? Babies and toddlers wash quite well in the laundry tub then learn to shower with you or on their own quite happily. I'd make the shower a big bigger (and the cupboard on the hall side) and get rid of the bath. Make sure you have excellent insulation in walls, ceiling and under floor. Consider hebel panels as flooring (also, the reinforced ones span great distances) and walls for both fire safety and insulation value. If possible look for ramp potential in case of disability and also for getting furniture into house. If you're in a fire zone make sure all windows and doors comply with your zone rating. And if you are building high up on piers make the external cladding is something that never needs painting and is minimal maintenance....See MoreNew build Kitchen layout advice - Help please: )
Comments (42)Hi Jasmine, I just want to ask you a couple of things re details in the plan an will post showing my concerns. Along the back wall, change the wall/panel on both sides of the fridge to 20, the wall would be approx 90?, this will give you an extra 70 space to play with, this would also balance the built in fridge between both sections of cabinets. As it is your designer has used the wall on the left of the fridge to line up with the wall of the proposed pantry, but I feel this isn't needed the panels will do a better job..without taking up more space and not looking so bulky. So now you will have extra to play with and could consider 900 x 2 drawers plus 900 cooker. What is the corner cabinet, it looks like having one door opening along the window wall? I have an 800 sink cabinet which has 2 x 400 doors which are perfect as they don't open out so wide into the room. would it be better to move the DW to the other side of the sink so as not to block access. 900 space at the end of the island is too tight and should be at least 1m The wall cabinets above the cooktop, are they all single cabinets?, it is more cost effective to use double, I ask this because the plan shows that two single or two double cabinets will be involved in installing the intergrated range hood....See MoreNew home build help please
Comments (13)my previous post was to illustrate how much space there is around your house for a generous 4 bed 2 bath 2 living area plans (i used my own house plans to avoid breaching any copywright) but here is so much land left over that i can't fit the imnage into a readable post and i've had a look at your new plan and it looks good for your wish list but do you want 4 bedrooms and drive through access to the backyard or space for a pool and/or a pool house or separate workshop or mancave and, before considering this plan you need to check with local council if they will approve the garage at the front of the block...usually councils prefer that the garage is further back than the entry but itm i will consider some ideas for you...See MoreUser
