Hi all,
Thoughts on our floorplan please. The width of the house can't really be changed, but interested in other feedback.
Thanks!

Nice layout for a single story house. 2 minor suggestions I have for you to consider. 1. Swap the locations of Stovetop and Sink? This way your fridge is next to sink. It would be a better work flow, fridge>wash>prep>cook. Stovetop is better next to the splashback window I think. And it's better for the rangehood to work because duct is shorter and straight out of the house for smoke. 2. You have sliding doors for both Dining and Living. Would you consider extend the Terrace to the full length of Living and Dining? When you have both sliding doors open to entertain, the longer Terrace would feel more grand. It doesn't look like the roof cover above terrace is part of the house roof. So it shouldn't change the roof structure. If you worry about the light into your Living area after extending your terrace, I would suggest extending the floor covering but keep the roof cover the same as now. So you have a bigger outdoor area with half under cover. Feels more open. Re: Floorplan thoughts?? 4Jan 25, 2022 10:21 am Is the study actually going to be used as a study? It looks quite small. I'd feel a bit claustrophobic being in there. If it isn't necessary I'd consider turning it into a big walk in pantry/butlers pantry. Re: Floorplan thoughts?? 5Jan 26, 2022 10:17 am Your roof could be so much simpler if you aligned the living room/bed 4 exterior wall and also the kitchen/dining exterior wall. This could remove two valleys and make it a lot easier if you wish to install solar panels. Also agree that the study is a bit awkward and has no natural light. Maybe switch the pantry and study, then have the study coming off the lounge somehow. I don't believe that studies need to be large, especially if you have a window to look out of. 2 6428 Were struck with: Colorbond Ironstone Grey roof and cream windows.
