Floorplan help - converting garage to self contained flat
Comments (4)Hi Liss, I 100% echo the above from Retro & MB. Changing function, particularly into dual occupancy territory will trigger a host of knock-on effects including fire rating, energy rating etc...and of course this all comes down to (as always) the B word - Budget You are best to seek professional design advice/service/assistance, and as Retro alluded to, you are at what we call the "feasibility" stage of the project in which project viability and options are explored/teased out. This involves clarification of specific requirements, budget and & contextual and regulatory constraints applicable. Honestly this is way beyond a dilemma forum - experienced/professional input will enable the most effective path forward to avoid the as you put it "going around in circles", which as an aside many people find themselves doing simply because they don't know what they're doing! We do this for a living for a reason, and we have specific services structured for this stage of the process to professionally manage and assist people to achieve high value outcomes. Happy to provide further details, if you are interested in how this all works when approached professionally. Cheers PD :)...See MoreFloor Plan Ideas
Comments (52)Unfortunately your budget doesn't allow for any major changes and suggest that you work within the current foot print and also keeping anything deemed by the council to be outside the allowed building site, meaning laundry and carport, they are no problem now but if you want to change them externally different situation. Turn the current Master into Mothers Retreat, with the ensuite bathroom and changing WIR into a kitchenette , she will have access to a lovely outdoor view and under cover sitting Your new bedroom can have an ensuite added or just a WIR and share the current up dated bathroom, saving money. Adding a new entrance and kitchen space will make a big difference, while helping with keeping costs down, bathroom, kitchen reno's can be done when and if money becomes available. You could even consider turning the laundry into your small design space and moving the laundry under the carport, Enclosed., This will give easy access to any visiting clients....See MoreConsidering a 2nd storey extension for a granny flat
Comments (14)The approx 60sqm space doesn't include the stairs and is only one bedroom. I haven't decided on laundry as it could be possible to share the existing one which opens off the existing garage. The external stairs would be adjacent to the side door off the garage which is next to the laundry. I don't already have plans but have been playing around with a floor plan myself. That is why I'd like a little input on the design possibilities. Using the upstairs area myself might be possible one day, but not for the foreseeable future as I have two dogs and need the yard. I also have a number of interests for which I need my existing space. Additionally I don't want a whole houseful of tenants with which I would have to cohabit. Ideally it will just be one person. Thank you for your suggestions re the MyAgedCare Program, but I have just had the experience of that process with my own mother. The waiting lists for care are very long and even just getting assessed takes a long time. Last time I heard there were 90,000 people on the waiting list and some 16,000 died in 2018/19 while waiting. Additionally, you only get a few hours assistance a week, there is no live in or on call help and a lot of the money gets eaten up in admin costs. It doesn't hold a lot of appeal for me in it's current form. Hopefully the Royal Commission will result in some improvements and it may provide a better service by the time I might be in need of it. I have considered buying another house on a bigger block where I could put a granny flat , but haven't found anything suitable. Most houses which offer this possibility are unrenovated so I would have to do a full reno on the house as well as build the granny flat. When you consider the costs and disruption involved in that, plus the costs of selling and buying and moving, it just seems all too hard. That's why I've come back to this option....See MoreHelp, confused! Floor-plan feedback needed
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 MoreJane
