Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 17, 2009 10:05 pm Hi All I was hanging around the forums about a year ago, when we were looking at a suburban Brisbane block and were set on building the Liberty with Metr$con. Since then, we have re-thought the entire process and have just secured 1.5 acres on the outskirts of Brisbane and have decided to go down the custom build route. We received our draft plans today (based upon our initial design brief) and I thought I would post them to see whether anyone has any thoughts/comments/ideas/feedback that could assist in our review of the plans and the "tweaking" process. We haven't had a lot of time to review them as yet, but as a starting point we are fairly sure that we will scrap the 2-way bathroom between bedrooms 3 & 4. Instead, we think we will make that bathroom an ensuite off Bed 4, and include a toilet. Bedrooms 2 & 3 will then share the other bathroom. These 3 bedrooms will be occupied by our 3 young children - but we have obviously planned for teenagers....and they are all girls...thus my requirement that there be lots of bathroom space and at least 2 showers! Any feedback would be much appreciated. I hope the plans can be easily viewed. Thanks, and I look forward to sharing the journey with you all, just as I have enjoyed reading many of your stories. ~ Kylie ~ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: ~ Kylie's Custom Build ~ Comments on Draft Floorplan please! 2Jul 17, 2009 10:39 pm Wow! It looks awesome. I love the layout in the ensuite and the massive WIR. It's all nicely laid out with plenty of seperate spaces. You will definitely have your hands full when you have three teenage girls Congrats and good luck Re: ~ Kylie's Custom Build ~ Comments on Draft Floorplan please! 3Jul 17, 2009 11:16 pm Your plan looks amazing! The design is really unique and well thought out. I quite like that bed 3 and 4 share a bathroom and it looks like they have double vanities (hope i saw that correctly) which is a great idea. We are currently building a house that my husband and i designed - no kids yet but building the house with the idea that we will have them down the track. To stop arguments for the bathroom in the morning we made our main bathroom three seperate areas - vanity in one room, toilet in another and the bath and shower together (hard to explain but we have our plan posted on our thread if you want to look at it). Look forward to hearing more about your build - good luck!
