Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Feedback on floor plans 7Aug 20, 2021 3:58 pm Hi Jason, Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this plan, so kind of you. Sorry I didn't mention that I'm doing it under CDC, so the upstairs setback is 8m, whereas the downstairs is 3m, as marked on the righthand side lines, so the extention of the wall upstairs is restriced to the line where it says 8m rear unfortunately. The setback downstairs to the side is 900mm, and upstairs to the side is 1.5m. As my land is pretty small, the total max building area under CDC is 235 m2. and 17m2 garage area is excluded. My architect initially said I could build double garage, now he is saying 1.5 garage to make it work. So now the total building area is roughly 227 with this design, Any other way to make the void work? Or maybe it won't be a good idea to have void after all, as there won't be privacy from downstairs, and noice will be a problem, too. Thanks for the suggestions of looking at online floor plans of volumn builders, I'll do that and hopefully get some good ideas. Hi there! Absolutely agree on the wasted space.
