Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hamptons inspired architect design with attached granny 167Nov 05, 2019 7:39 am Hi Melbournevic, thank you ![]() The house surrounds the pool on three sides. The pool was dug and concreted before the house slab was poured, and this included a 1m circumference of concrete around the pool. The house slab was then poured and it goes right up against the edge of this circumference of concrete, and that’s where the walls of the house sit as well. So the distance from house slab to pool is 1m I’ve attached a photo below, the pool itself is under the boards.

You have a very good view of the pool from inside the house. Looking forward to see it!

The secondary panels have been in for a while but the opening panels had to be taken away for reworking, I’ve just recently learnt that this is called a breezeway! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ These couple of weeks seem to be all about doors. The 3 x Guardian 2-in-1 were delivered today (granny flat back door, main house laundry and ground floor bathroom external door). Main front door and granny flat front door to be delivered tomorrow. Internal doors being prepped. Painters and plumbers were also on site when I visited today. Painters were painting the living area raked ceiling and plumbers were...plumbing... ![]() Hamptons inspired architect design with attached granny flat 172Nov 14, 2019 5:32 am Not much happening, except more door work with Internals being hung.

Also, underfloor heating Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Stairs going in Monday, at least that only takes a day apparently. Re: Hamptons inspired architect design with attached granny 175Nov 15, 2019 6:18 pm ![]() Looking great! Have you done underfloor heating throughout? We are still deciding... No, just in the bathrooms and laundry (which, along with a ceiling hung clothes airer, will double as a drying room on wet winter days!). Re: Hamptons inspired architect design with attached granny 176Nov 20, 2019 11:31 am Stairs installed on Monday. They feel wonderfully wide to me, and when I got back home I realised why - our current stairs are 80cm wide, whereas these are 1.2m! The treads, landing, newel top and handrails are spotted gum, and will be stained to bring out the natural warmth and colour. Everything else will be painted white.

When fully opened they sit flush with the doorframes. I was wondering how to pull the door out of the frame to shut it, and the builder showed me. It’s a push release! And when it shuts fully, it’s also soft close. After all these years of putting up with sliders that don’t open fully and kids slamming them shut! I don’t know if all modern sliders are like this, but I was so excited I videoed it! Unfortunately I dont seem to be able to load it on Tapatalk.
