Hi there
Planning this for a 1 acre block in Gippsland Victoria. Designed to be a passive solar house to face about 15 degrees east of true north due to block position.
It is a very windy block and I was thinking of building a large colorbond shed on the west side instead of garage. It would have been 14.4 long 7.5 wide and 3.2 or 3.6 high but I thought it would be a bit unsightly so close to the house, and I can locate it 10 metres past the house down the back NW corner. This means I then need a garage or carport next to house, or am I better to build a 12 metre brick garage as part of house and forget the shed.?
The house seems to grow in size each time I try and overcome some minor problem, I would like to make it more efficient, but not pokey, without reducing the home cinema size.
I also need an undercover area for 2 dogs and their kennels,dog beds, outside table, chairs. The dogs will sit near the meals area door when they want to come in or go out. I have not come up with a good solution for this as yet. Our existing house has a 5 by 5 metre courtyard that works well but it is a completely different layout.
Thanks for any suggestions
