What about a floorplan or desciption of your zones interested because you have a wide house like our and as you probably know you dont see many of these houses around due to small blocks in brisbane. Re: Our progress so far **updated 9/9** 16Aug 12, 2007 8:19 pm Yes I agree Law18 - it was very frustrating when we were first looking through display homes to get an idea of what floor plan we wanted. Most houses are designed for small blocks.
Our house is basically split into two sides. When you open the front door, you see straight through floor to ceiling glass to our back yard. The left hand side of the house is all the bedrooms (4), study and bathroom and laundry. The main bedroom is on the far back side and has glass sliding doors, so we can lie in bed looking at the bush. The ensuite also has a window facing the bush. The right hand side of the house is the garage, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area; and the media room is on the front of the house. Our alfresco area with powder room is the same length as the lounge/dining (10m). We will probably also put a small concreted area outside the main bedroom. Eventually the pool will go between the main bedroom and the alfresco, so you will see it through the entry windows. Re: Our progress so far **updated 9/9** 17Aug 12, 2007 8:34 pm Sounds great, some similarities to our house especially the large 10m alfresco. Got to have a large outdoor area, our main bedroom will also be looking at the bush and we will eventually deck it, connecting it back through to the alfresco.
