Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 27, 2015 5:24 pm Hi Experts, We are thinking of builder a house in Perth. LOT Size:- 572 sqm (Corner block) Council requirement to have garage at the rear. We have hand drawn following plan and looking to get everyone's input. http://tinypic.com/r/16lg4lg/8 Re: House Plan 2May 27, 2015 6:10 pm I like it! A couple of thoughts, i'd be inclined to swap the store location so the bathroom doesn't come straight off the laundry. Also you might find you have to step in/out walls, I know when I built with the City of Melville you could only have a max 9m wall length. Re: House Plan 3May 27, 2015 6:25 pm Hi tingujain, Nothing wrong with the plan it seems to me... nice actually, but I am amazed it can be so close to either frontage. Are you certain that you have those minimum set-backs complied with? Re: House Plan 5May 27, 2015 8:54 pm It looks quite a nice plan. There's quite a bit in there for the total 315m2. If that master bedroom is 5m wide plus the robe and ensuite, then I'd take some of that space to widen the robe to have hanging along both sides, rather than the L shape - where the corner is hard to access. Similarly, the pantry is more efficient if you can get shelves along both sides of the passageway. Watch the space needed for the fridge. Fridges tend to be quite deep these days, and need a fair bit of space to open the door. So be careful the bench doesn't come too close to it. To improve noise isolation between master bed and B2, you could consider putting the master robe and ensuite at the other end. You may be able to retain the entrance off the living area, and walk past the robe to get into the bedroom. I'd consider adjusting the front rooms: putting theatre when study is, study where lounge is, and lounge where theatre is. This allows you to take advantage of the North aspect for the lounge, rather than for the theatre. The lounge and study also become squarer, which may be a better shape. The theatre is also further from the neighbours -if that's an issue. i thought the flipped plan initially but bec i want narrow pathway from entry to dining (dont like bend), also cannot fit the… 7 17260 5 10459 Hi, Seeking volume or semi-custom builder in victoria(east), which have existing double story wide floor plans.
