So here are the plans. The additional things around the house, such as stairs, etc - are not set in stone. Feel free to make as many wild and wacky suggestions as you see fit. I think there is some amazing minds on these forums, and i'd like to make the most of it as this is our first building project.
Some things we are already considering:
- [#] Slightly bigger bedrooms, perhaps widening the house a little to add storage/workshop to garage, and then make the bedrooms bigger.
[#] Living room is a small, wasted space, too small for a theatre. Not sure what to do here.
[#] the 2 x alfresco areas: the lower deck I want to use cat mesh to make a cat area, accessed via the rumpus/"Great room" on the lower floor, but not sure as this would also make a great room for a pool table/bar area/outdoor access to BBQ.
[#] From the kitchen, limited access to the rest of the family, so i'm thinking opening the wall between the rumpus and kitchen a little (if we can, not sure because of the 2nd story on top of this wall) so when cooking, I can still see and talk with the family.
[#] Adding a "drying cupboard" in Laundry - still after more opinions on these, but i'm in one of the coldest/wettest areas of victoria, so to me its justified!
Throw suggestions at me as you see fit, I am hoping for a wide range of suggestions that we can throw around to make this the perfect home.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone, & merry xmas!!
