Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 25, 2019 7:40 pm Hi all, Swapping our floor plan to the below design. Is there anything you would add/change? We’re also struggling to decide between the bottom two facades. Any advice is greatly welcomed.

Maybe a hinged door from dining? - not sure you need a window to pantry? We have one in our new design but not sure we made the best call there - I would probably rather access store from main living, rather than rumpus - careful with fridge door opening into pantry door/wall....make sure it will open - maybe swap upstairs WIL and WC...so bedroom doesn’t look direct at toilet Anyhow there are some initial thoughts. Nothing too major, and some of this is just personal preference. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Building Plan advice 3Feb 25, 2019 8:30 pm darb74 Hi, Couple of ideas (but not sure how simple to achieve?): - flip door location to PWD and flip internals to reduce direct line of sight to toilet etc - having access to Alfresco via lounge, not as useful as via dining.
