Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Pick my plan to pieces pretty please! 6Nov 06, 2021 9:25 pm I actually want to bring the west side of the house forward by 0.5m so it's offset from the garage. (Not one straight line). I also want a verandah across the fromlnt of the house. I wanted to put the extra 0.5m we gain into the ensuite. I have 11 metres from back of house to back fence. And I've allowed 1.5m around the side perimeters. No easements. Yes driveway can be swapped. I was hoping to absorb the brick thickness into the house plan.... for example the hallway is currently 2m wide which is way too wide but in reality once I allow brick thickness it will reduce to a 'normal' size. I agree that the kitchen looks small in comparison to the other rooms. The island is 1.5 m x 2.5m. I could reduce the size of the pantry/larder area to make the kitchen bigger. Or extend the kitchen into the dining area? Re: Pick my plan to pieces pretty please! 7Nov 06, 2021 10:05 pm I disagree with some of the other comments. I remember being a kid, small bedrooms suck, and to be honest kids spend more time in their bedrooms than the parents are likely to do, if you can afford the space its worth having a larger space for them. I'd add a door from the garage to the backyard, makes it easier to get things in. I'd also either flip the ensuite/wir to the rear wall or move the door to the bedroom up. That would allow you to get rid of the 'entrance' section of the room and make a larger WIR, the current setup its dead space in my opinion. If you want to increase the kitchen i'd consider getting rid of the WIL, shifting the pantry down and using the current pantry space for the kitchen. You've got a reasonably sized laundry already, you can probably get away with the storage space in there. Also FYI you mentioned the island is 1.5*2.5m just be aware that exceeds standard benchtop sizes for quite a few options such as caesarstone or laminex so it might have joints or cost extra for oversized slabs depending on what you use for the top. You may still have a case, but your next step is to speak to a lawyer. 3 1624 i thought the flipped plan initially but bec i want narrow pathway from entry to dining (dont like bend), also cannot fit the… 7 17278 5 10477 |
