Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Stroud Homes: Thoughts on this plan 3Sep 10, 2015 8:23 pm Spin the media room and study through 90 degrees, with the study having the window in it. That should make the media room longer for you, as well as giving the study an outside view. Should you ever go to the extant of putting up a projector in the media room, you won't have that window to cover up. So you're building out in this general area then, as Stroud Homes is generally a Jimboomba based business (although I hear the owner lives out Boonah way). We looked at them at one stage, but then went owner builder. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld. Blog : http://bandlnewhomebuild.blogspot.com H1 thread : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=68283 . Re: Stroud Homes: Thoughts on this plan 4Sep 10, 2015 11:26 pm It looks generally a nice design. These are some things I'd think of: I'd square off the master bedroom robe ends to get more hanging space. I'd also aim for a door between the ensuite and master, so one person can use it without disturbing the other one sleeping. Actually, I'd probably close off one of the entries to the robe with more hanging space instead, and put a door between the bedroom and robe. I also think the bench space around the cooktop could be a bit limited, but that comes down to the dimensions that aren't so clear from the plan. It does seem a missed opportunity to not have shelving along the other side of the pantry. Floor to ceiling shelves there, even at only 250mm deep, can hold at lot of items. I think I'd pull the front wall forward on beds 3 and 4 to make them a bit bigger. Re: Stroud Homes: Thoughts on this plan 6Sep 11, 2015 6:23 am I'm not a fan of the entry opening into the living area. If it was me I would have a wall separating them.
