Unit developments are always a compromise, but I like 2 living areas, and decent sized bedrooms. The guest rooms are very (too?) generous in their allocation. Even in our 40sq plan, we've only allowed a single vanity. I'd try and have internal access from all the units into the garage, can only see it with unit 2. And is there a door missing in unit 3 for the laundry? Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2098Dec 26, 2014 3:31 pm Doc Freeman junk3569, They actually look pretty good.

And is there a door missing in unit 3 for the laundry? Thank you, Doc. Good thinking, I will move the door of the garage onto the other side of the wall in unit 1. I am thinking to extend the garage of unit 1 another .5m for storage shelves. But still deciding. - Unit 3 garage also has a small sliding door sliding door on the corner, just hard to see on the drawing. - All the laundry has access door to the outside, just that unit 1 has a sliding door instead of open/close. Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2099Jan 19, 2015 12:20 pm ddarroch Leksie5000 what types of windows will maximise light and satisfy privacy requirements? Any tips? Clerestory windows, high level windows like you have in concept 2, running down the centre of the build. Get these right & you'll have lovely northern light, & views of the sky, not your neighbour. Also, if you have overshadowing issues, & the room, you may want to stretch out the plan, along the E-W axis, building close to your S boundary, & having a bit of a N side yard. Thanks. We do have celestory windows and a raked ceiling. As our house is single level essentially with the split at the front hopefully overshadowing won't be too much for their private space on their S side, just that our block is about 0.7 higher than the N vneighbour so need to avoid looking onto their yard. We are close to the south boundary just as much as planning allows, N side yard is very ugly due to residence next door. However having the alfresco centred should provide plenty of northern llight. Fortunate that there is extremely little heat from the west due to the great natural gum tree barrier. We have extended the linen a little bit so there is no chance of a view to the powder room, ensured there is under house storage and completed a few other tweaks. Looking forward to having the final concept and getting along to DA, we have a baby on the way and need finance ASAP! Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2100Jan 19, 2015 1:48 pm Unit 1 toilet is right next to the dining area - not only do you have a direct line of sight, but your diners will be able to share all the toilet sounds and smells with the user! You can solve this be creating a small hallway into the guest room, and accessing the wc and guest from there. The driveway curving in front of the house is a little awkward - can this be changed? It might look pretty, but it will a pain to keep having to turn to stay on the driveway. It is worth considering if the galleries in unit 1 and 2 are a waste of space, could the soace be used more efficiently? They aren't really furnishable, so consider adding the space to the rooms or converting the space into storage. Unit 3 looks really good, there aren't any issues I can spot there.
