f I had to rate your post on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it 11 Thanks for the information. Not that I need it (house already designed and being bricked today), but that's a very useful post. Thks. Re: facade help 29Mar 04, 2008 1:15 pm Paula,
Is there a reason that you didn't just move the garage so that it's LH wall starts on the RHS of the staircase? Ie. shift it to the right? Also between the back of the right hand garage and the house, you have a passage which seems wasteful and possibly collect dust and dirt. Is there anything you can do to fix it? Very intresting design with the shower and bath in the ensuite. Be intresting to see in real life. Lots of intresting little goodies in this design.

The staircase was originally where the mud room is, I wasnt happy with the openess from two levels - kids heard in their rumpus while we watch tv downstairs- we have this in current home and you can eaisly have a conversation between up and down stairs. So I moved it into the entrance ie the garage. Mmm maybe the front would look better if the garage wall was moved. DH would loose a little room in garage - already gave up the room for the stairs!! That was not an easy negotiation Quote: Also between the back of the right hand garage and the house, you have a passage which seems wasteful and possibly collect dust and dirt. Is there anything you can do to fix it? Already asked on this one - was told by the draftsman that it had something to do with the roof being attached to the side of the house- made sense at the time. I will be checking that with the builder. Quote: Very intresting design with the shower and bath in the ensuite. Be intresting to see in real life. My builder has this in his house - looks stunning. the shower is walk through - ie no doors, and the bath (freestanding) sits in front. I have seen a photo on here somewhere on here with this design with the vanities in front not the bath.

My 2c worth - instead of a window in the WIR, you could plant a pretty tree or hang something nice on that wall instead, so it looks more interesting. Trees are a good idea - I could buy one already established. Paula Re: facade help 33Mar 04, 2008 2:38 pm Some great ideas in the interior... as for the facade, it's quite hard to see the real implications of some possible changes without seeing a 3D view - the exterior lines are quite complex and need to be seen in perspective as a "real person view" standing on the footpath. I've seen some brilliant designs on paper fail in the real world.
Does your draftsman do 3D modelling ? If not perhaps you could mock up the exterior on some home software ? Thank you @.
