best use of floor plan for resale
Comments (13)the house looks very dark so first suggestion is to have the lightest flooring possible with new white walls and remove, clean and or replace all broken and shabby internal and external blinds, curtains and support tracks and update fans and light fittings where necessary and, can't read the exact measurements and subject to roof structure, remove the kitchen walls and install basic white kitchen and reuse, oven, rangehood, sink and dw, add new taps and wall cabinets only on the stove wall add a generous island with timber or stone counter and, as there's no obvious front entry, instead of decking off the family room, first expand the front verandah with a covered pergola and decking and a new vibrant coloured front door...See MoreCritique my proposed floor plan for granny flat
Comments (11)simply put - massively pushing the functional envelope in such tight/small limits. To achieve this you have to seriously limit/streamline flow/access points and maximise any wall space. So for example the only window into the kitchen really should be say a splashback window. The double access into the kitchen/living is a luxury in context - something has to give here otherwise you'll end up with something that ticks boxes but in reality is not actually very usable .......recommend you check out some Japanese & northern European work to see how this type of thing can be achieved effectively/cleverly when space is limited....possibly here you may be best to consider a living/kitchen/bedroom setup that is functionally zoned/separated with strategic furniture/joinery placement, simple kitchen at one end and bathroom the only "room" created within existing structure.......remember, depending upon existing conditions and what the ultimately outcome it can sometimes be false economy rearranging/re-using elements when you'll get a better bang for buck by popping out a little here and there to free up certain details for certain functional gains......good luck!

Comments (5)Josh you're still pushing the envelope - the trick to tight space success is to not make it feel small & it's in simplicity of the flow and consolidation of function. The balance here is out of whack for the footprint, internal function/fitout and external access/penetrations/windows. You need to reduce some of these to free up and simplify the planning solution. Don't make the mistake of doing something that will be unrentable because it simply is too tight to function satisfactorily. Also don't underestimate costs of fit-out...you may find a better solution that achieves greater value overall by actually extending floor area and simplifying the fit out. All you're doing at the moment is rearranging the sock drawer in various combinations/permutations so to speak. Try this...stack up the costs on this plan, and then as a comparison look at an option that extends the floor plan a little, say to achieve the bathroom but dramatically simplifies the set-up/fit-out of the original area and consequently distributes the cost to a greater value-add end result...You won't spend less, and it may be a little more, but you'll be surprised and you may find in comparison a better investment long term for you to extend/pop-out a bit...you may also achieve more rental return so the numbers may well work for you ;) PD...See MoreHelp, confused!

Comments (31)The wow factor can be achieved in many ways. You have a big parcel of land at 700sqm. At the moment you have a big box as your house plan with, in my opinion, too many rooms for only 3 occupants. You obviously have a decent budget, so look at a plan that has multifunctional rooms, that will offer the same use but not vacant rooms not being used. You have 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and 4 living areas, for 3 people. Do you have a view, will you ever actually sit at the balcony or just have to sweep it when dust accumulates. Build smart not necessarily big. Are you needing a house with all these rooms, or are you trying to impress friends and family. We all want to impress our friends and family, but a nice looking home with a wonderful FEEL and the WOW factor doesn’t have to be lots of rooms that may not get used....See More- 3 years ago
