Floor plans for a North East facing block
Comments (13)I'm with saragraham76 here, do some more research by looking at yourhome.com.au amongst other site's. I'd also look at the council regulations and find out about easement's, covenants, etc. Millions of floor plans around so the chances of finding the winner is actually rather difficult as there is just so many, however if you want a 'project home' then hire an independent designer to help find one thats suitable. There are a lot of good project home designs (and builders) around and can be good value if you can sort through them all and know what to look for. Webb & Brown-Neaves have some fantastic designs and I believe they're exceptional builders although based in WA. The alternative is for a custom designed home but will usually cost more overall. A project home has been designed to be built hundreds of times so the detailed construction plans, bill of materials, etc. is reused on each job saving a lot of work and hence the cheaper costs. A custom designed dwelling rarely will compete but the house is your's and (usually) yours only. One some sites this is the only option. Budget is key so that is the biggest consideration initially....See MoreHow would you improve our floor plan?
Comments (7)as usual the real estate dimensions are inconsistent (and says that the house is about 70sqm bigger than i can calculate) so you need to measure every space including halls, bathroom, toilet, laundry etc ignoring all the biw and cabinets and only use the size of the actual rooms wall to wall not anything that can be removed without changing walls and ceilings ) but, assuming approx dimensions my suggestion would be to use the original living area for a hall and bed 4 and steal space for an ens, move the laundry out the back to enlarge bed 3 and use the refurbished sunroom and bed 4 for a new dining area, laundry and small study and improve the kitchen ...but we need accurate dimensions to be accurate...See MoreFloor plan with North facing street.
Comments (20)Your block narrows in to 19m on the south side, therefore you will have to narrow the house build to allow for correct side set backs. Therefore any plan you look at will not be suitable. The house will need get get narrower towards south. Why can’t you have the full garage on the south side with the rear access, and have the north side as your front entrance and living areas all facing north?...See MoreReview Request – North-Facing Draft Floor Plan (Victoria -Melbourne)
Comments (22)"north-facing block (the front of the house faces north)" "The aim is to make the most of natural light" Did you choose the block for that reason as it was promoted as a desirable 'north-facing' block? A corner block with north to the long side facing the street instead of the limited front is what maximises the light. Your plan only gets the benefits of it to the living room and the garage. On the plus side, having neighbours to the west gives some protection from the unwanted afternoon sun in summer. It's useful to have a washbasin in the wc, if you can adjust the neighbouring WIR to allow for adding that. I noticed too that the neighbouring hallway in one version looks unnecessarily large but I'm not sure what's happening with the different versions....See More- 3 years ago
