Garage size questionsBuilding A New House

May 12, 2021 9:14 am

Hey guys, Have some questions about garage size. A normal double car garage seems to be about 5.5x5.5m. If I want to fit a wall of storage in the garage, plus potentially be able to store a small/mediumish boat in the garage, what size and even height would you think a garage size should be? Keen to...

Hey guys, I've been doodling a plan based on a number of plans I've seen for a 2 storey house. Please bear in mind the size estimates and dimensions are rough, it's more of a visual guide before taking it to a draftsperson. I also haven't included windows or doors yet, I've placed spaces where doors...

I like option 2 the most. With option 1, you could make the island into a square island as that will fit nicely in that space. It would be my second preference with a bigger square island.

I had another idea that the fireplace could go in that section below that is not part of the void, up to the ceiling on the ground floor. I highlighted this in red. And in Blue that would be the integrated entertainment unit. Would this look good? reply... https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/96360_16021...

Looks plenty big to me for a study, if you have your desk/joinery on one side of the wall and keep the other wall empty to walk comfortably behind the desk.

@ppetrovski are you looking to custom build or one of their already made floor plans? I was looking at a few options like Tiffany Rose or Astoria, did you do a custom build? How much extra is this compared to choosing a pre-existing plan?
