Planning next Acerage Build - design review

alymei · Nov 24, 2020 8:38 pm

We have recently sold and looking to build another in the next stage on an acre west of Brisbane.

The block is elevated with views to the south and east. North is to the rear. The house will be set back approx 60m from the front, at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the 'back yard' wont be huge depth-wise but will be approx 80m wide - everything is out the front.

Proposed pool to go off alfresco and media rooms. Will look to add a window facing East of media and renoce the GGE window facing West. However, the only North facing window to living area is via the kitchen - is this going to be an issue?

Does get got here, not uncommon to be 40s in summer. We will insulate walls and roof space. Thoughts???

Great design.
Do you only have access to laundry from garage?
I’d consider swapping rumpus and bed, so the bedroom isn’t directly off the living area.
Pantry I’d put the opening down near your fridge, and just have a walk through, although I know there is a lot of lovers for doors on pantries I’m not one of them. If you continue your bench top and cabinetry all the way around so it looks neat and tidy then have no door.

Thanks Gogo

great point re the pantry. We will use that bedroom near the living as a music room/office so it will be soundproofed, we really need 1 bedroom a bit separate from the kids

Any chance this is in the Karalee area?
