Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 28, 2021 8:57 pm Hi All, We are building our first home and at this stage pretty close to finalize the Floor plan with the Architect. Building around Penrith Area, suburb = Caddens (just in case) We would like to get some feedback on our floor plan. This is all put together by taking inspirations across various display home and finally, we have tried to fit all that is essential for us into this house. GF & FF Floor plan attached below. We planned on making a 33 SQ but it has extended already to 34 SQ. It is rear loading plot with detached garage and studio on top. Any Feedback would be greatly appreciated !! I have a query : 1.) I don't understand the calculation behind the Balcony area (why does it say 10.49 sqm) - we will have a call scheduled later in the week with the Architect and would want to be prepared before asking him this question. Thanks in advance. Feedback would be appreciated.
