This will our home for at least next 10 years to come who knows might also be a forever one. We did toss the idea of leaving the WIR as-is (behind the bedhead, however due to balcony, the bedroom was only just over 4m wide which was a bit small for our liking hence loosing the robe behind the bed was the only choice and also personally i prefer a separate area for robe rather than behind the bed. I do miss the additional storage space as the actual closet space is same as the standard robe behind the bedhead. In regards with toilet door in bedroom. I am not very happy about it but again due to WIR and also a limitation on floor plan changes allowed by Metricon this was the only option. I am still trying to see if we can move the WC to void next to shower cabin but not sure if there is enough space. Or we will just need to use a decorative door to try and make it look a bit more fancy Putting a sliding door to close off family and kitchen is a great idea and something i will enquire about and see how best we can fit that in Also loosing the robe in prayer room and making bed 2 bigger is a smart way to make the bedroom bigger, however the only thing i am considering is that in future if it was to be used as study having additional internal storage might help. Great to hear that you have some family members build the same house. I would mind hearing about there experience or seeing the photos if that's possible. I appreciate your time and all the comments. I'm not sure about sharing photos as they aren't mine to share, sorry. They are happy with their build though, just a few minor defects and was built on time. They're in south western Sydney. Another thing, the upstairs leisure is massive in real life, you could easily use some of that for a walk in linen, store room/walk in robe for bed 4, as moving the linen from where it is would give you more space for the ensuite if you need it. Just an idea.
