Browse Forums Building A New House 1 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?

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.

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 Re: Planning next Acerage Build - design review 5Dec 04, 2020 11:31 am Any chance this is in the Karalee area? i thought the flipped plan initially but bec i want narrow pathway from entry to dining (dont like bend), also cannot fit the… 7 12811 It is true that a builder can ignore your independent inspection report as it is not part of the contractual arrangement but that is stupid because he cannot avoid fixing… 9 39997 The worst thing you can do is sign a building contract without a pre contract review.
