I am building a house in Adelaide. I am bit confused as the the block faces northwest. I want a design with a transverse living room like the attached files. My objective is to capture light into the living rooms but avoid the harsh western sun. Let me know your thoughts. Is the living room with a t...

I think it's great that your living areas are facing north with lots of sun. Not sure if you can choose where the garage is. Garage to the West is best as it takes up all the geat during summer, and No one lives in the garage Thank you Did consider to move the garage There is a tree and a stobie po...

Good morning, I love the Prestige Oaks, as with any timber or hard flooring, make sure you put felt pads under all your furniture. Watch for stones in your shoes and don't wet mop. Do all that and your floor will last quite a while. The good thing about some of the Oaks is that if you do get a scra...
Thanks Michelle I have just posted the other question a few mins ago. But do I need a thicker wear layer as I reluctant...

I am building in Adelaide and I am going to get my house designed by an independent building designer. I intend to submit to council and concurrently send it out to tender to building companies.

Will the west sun be shaded by the building itself? Thats the idea. A terrrace will be built on the west side of the living room. I like the courtyard and am not exactly broke :lol:. The spouse needs to know there is an upper limit to spend

How far in are you? It makes a difference if you own the copyright to the plans or not. Much easier.

We are going to do our selections in a few weeks and I have been doing the reconnaissance. I went to a house by premium builder and saw a window colour and very close match match with the wall paint. It was an off cream color. Possible close to white birch colorbond. Not offered by our builder. It w...

Thanks Chippy Some window makers let you do custom colors (colorbond range). Got to pay extra and there is no guarantee that you will achieve the desired result. Our builder uses southern star windows and they do not seem to offer any of those options. Statesman Windows do have a much better range o...
