Hi

Our block slopes up toward the back - very even all the way up. We want to do an Undercroft type design.

Double Garage/ study/ stairs/ storeroom on the bottom.

All living area on the top.

Anyone know of any design ideas/ hints / tips ???

We need a 4* 2 1/2 (powder room).

Open plan living / dining. Games room. The back needs an exit straight out to the existing pool, where the loo / bathroom is close by for wet people and towels etc.

Anyone done this or blogged about it.

My searches aren't turning up much.

Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers :D

Hi Perthgirl :D

We didn't end up building this - it was a cost and other factor issue - but I still love it :D

Is that what you mean when you say undercroft?

Yes - it's very similar to what we were shown last night by a builder who were're looking at - he did some ideas on what might work but a few things aren't sitting right with me.

Your design look like it is stretched sideways and is not too deep.

Ours is quite deep (at the top floor) but 17 m accross.

The undercroft has study where your lounge is and garage in the same spot - double entry doors (in the middle) and a store room at the back, by the stairs.

The Master bedroom looks like it is coming off the living area - our design does to and that dosen't sit well with me. Hubby thinks it's OK but I don't really want to share our bedroom wall with the Lounge room where ppl will be watching TV!

The block is 20 m wide and 40 m deep. Slopes up toward the back, maybe 2 . 5 - 3 m over the whole block.

Design for sloping blocks must be very hard to find here in Oz.

Google is taking me to some USA sites and some english ones - even then not much seems to be out there.

Hi again,

Can't remember the width of this design but we have a 20m wide block also.

The Master is coming off the Multi purpose room (aka kids play room) I'll see if I can find a better image of the plan for you as that one is a bit *.

Hang on!

Oh yes, very hard to find designs :(

Let me think about some other builders - although I'm in Sydney which isn't going to help you, but at least might give you ideas :)

sounds like our house could be similar to what you are looking for.
Will try and upload our plans tonight (can't do it from work).

We have double garage, study/guest room, powder room downstairs. Double enrty doors
5 beds, lounge, kitchen, dining, family, alfresco etc upstairs.
Our block slopes upwards from the front to the back
