Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDRB - custom build - Floor plan 4Aug 12, 2021 11:15 am jas25t I really like the entrance change with the stairs, it certainly makes it look more grand as you enter. although the compromise to the kids activity area is significant. And we see this as vital space for our family as the kids turn into teenagers and ensuring they have the space they need to study and relax as they grow. Might try a couple of things to see how we can work around this. I also really like the outdoor bathroom space, but unfortunately (something you didn't have knowledge of) is the reserve to that side of the lot, which visually is somewhat of a feature with loads of trees and birds to enjoy. Closing this side off will significantly reduce that view. We've resigned to shower outdoors being installed at a later date, or entry via the laundry to the back bathroom. We are allowing (20-30yrs away hopefully) to change the media room and workshop to a downstairs master if we need to remove the stairs to bed access. With the loft, there are sloping ceilings which wont allow anything outside the main say 3m center portion that is normal height. see example below from the builders display home where side walls are roughly 1.9m high, so a central hall is almost essential.

Thanks so much for spending time on this. the kids' activity room is a different shape not much smaller and i've left out the kids hallway that doesn't improve the space and upstairs is based on a similar space that we had in one of our own homes and the sloping ceiling can be as low as 1200 at the sides in the bedrooms and about 1500 in the bathroom without hitting heads so worthwhile to have your architect test the spaces to see what other options would provide more spacious ens and wiw and hope that you can consider the new entry and stairs that's much more suitable for a new home ...happy planning 6 55349 Your best bet might be to go visit the display homes and walk around in them, and take photos. Get a feel for it in person instead of deciding from the floor plan. There… 1 21451 Keen to hear from people in the area who have got KDRB done on whom they got the build from?
