Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 04, 2011 11:26 pm Hi All, I only stumbled across this site today, so i'm looking forward to many days of reading and learning. We are in the early stages of finding our new project home and looking for advice. We have a NE facing corner block in NSW with approx dimensions 25m (frontage) x 29m (depth). With dual street frontages and large block size, we are looking at putting in a 60m2 granny flat on the second frontage and are looking for suitably sized 2 storey designs to suit the remainder of the block. I've drawn some rough sketches to work out what size house we need, and it's roughly 19m x 12m in a L-shaped design with the garage extended to one side to accommodate the granny flat. The living area of the house only needs to be 13m-14m wide, with the remaining 5m-6m being the garage to the side. Any help would be greatly appreciated as all the designs we've seen have garages built into the house and not wide enough or too deep. Also, is there any sticky threads with FAQ's for someone in my position just starting the journey with a million questions? Re: House Design For Wide Blocks 2Jan 05, 2011 6:33 am Hey sluggo Welcome to the forum. We really loved Cosmopolitan's Renmark which is 20m wide but not sure if it works with your other requirements. Have a look at Westminsters Huntley (what we are building) has a detactable garage that you can move to the side/front/back. From memory there is also Bellmark that has wide frontage, where you can move the garage around. As for FAQ's - it's great to start reading and use the search function. There is a wealth of info in here, and no doubt answers to your questions! Having said that, if you can't find something, feel free to post a topic/question. There is a Homeone Website & Forum area right down the bottom, which might be a good idea to have a look at. It talks about how to post a photo, and Terms & Conditions etc of posting etc. Have fun! Bel Still not in. Don't ask!? Re: House Design For Wide Blocks 3Jan 06, 2018 12:18 pm Hi... odd question, would anyone have an old floor plan diagram for the Cosmopolitan Renmark?
