We're getting a bunch of us all together in a Facebook group if you're interested. It's called Moncrieff Residents. They're great to deal with aren't they. Have you seen the new Impressa house they built? We really liked it.

Yes we have visited the Wright display home, though having to visit Casey was much more convenient. We visited the Olearia display home in Shellharbour(?) in november, loved it but couldn't build that due to the garage having to be on the other side on our block. We are going ahead with a modified Casuarina. Building a modified Casuarina in Moncrieff, ACT Builder - Sekisui House. Re: Building in Moncrieff (ACT) 15Apr 17, 2015 10:49 pm Awesome! Yeah that's a great house too, yeah we're going to have to get an exemption but we're really happy with the house and the layout, not modifying it too much will save us a little anyhow.

It's a bit blurry - what's the wall? on the right hand side for the alfresco type area? I see you have steps assume it's due to a slope? Are you putting in some skylights? Just that the two longish corridors at the garage entry area and the linen closet seem narrow and would lack natural light. (our entryway was increased in length as we increased our garage and I find it too dark and it's even before we get into the house so it's just something to consider) Also assume the principal suite room entry way is there due to the split level design? It seems on the face of it that you could get a bigger robe if you moved the entry down Love that side alfresco and the huge principal suite. Exciting! Re: Building in Moncrieff (ACT) 18Apr 18, 2015 7:50 am There shouldn't be a wall? There is a brick pillar in the middle, we're going to make a big deck from the alfresco, there is two sliding doors for it. Yeah to try to counter the slope of the land and hopefully save a little coin we decided to get some steps, and rather than at the porch etc, just inside the house. Our bedroom is raised about 1m above the entrance (which will give us a nice view as we are at the top of a hill). Believe or not that entry to the bedroom is standard! I did tinker with the idea of having our room at say the entrance and garage level (and doing exactly what you said, side entry and extending the WIR or making it into a cupboard in the hallway), but, my wife wanted all the rooms on the one floor level. It's still quite a large robe, we were thinking we would put a lovely picture in our room entry and still have the privacy with the concealed door. We thought about skylights, we've decided that seeing as though our roof is going to be so high in the entrance, we are going to buy a big fancy chandelier. We're also getting a raked ceiling for our main living area, will really give the impression of a big house.

It's a beautiful design. The living areas and the principal suite are huge. Building a modified Casuarina in Moncrieff, ACT Builder - Sekisui House.
