Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2110Jun 18, 2015 11:12 pm Leave the stairs on the south side as if hate to see northern aspect be used up by stairs if you have a living room area to been benefit That wir is huge! The kitchen opening to the alfresco will be lovely with bifold windows. But the peninsula bit seems proportionally small? More after a bit of brewing Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2111Jun 19, 2015 7:13 am Wow double sinks x2. If probably only put a single sink near the alfresco. I've found the sink on the peninsula for us is good for sweeping in crumbs (under mount sink) but eats into a lot of space too. And when you have no table yet the bench gets very cluttered! I'd consider making the guest room closer to a bathroom. And even have it almost a dual key apartment (so if you ever wanted guests to stay and feel a sense of independence they could). I'd move the linen closet to the south side to maximise northern side windows. The leisure would be better north and bedrooms south. Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2112Jun 19, 2015 9:40 am Yes, huge WIR. Right now our kids are young 3 & 1 but I expect we'll get the question later on "how come your wardrobe is bigger than my room?"....."ask your mother!" Read somewhere on houzz that ideal is a 1.2m gap between bench tops in the kitchen so that's what we'll be aiming for. With the island bench, my drawing probably doesn't show that accurately. I'm currently trying the sweet design 3D program to get it all a bit more official looking. Tedious though. Will post it when completed. With the sinks we need to decide which will be our washing up sink (I.e. A double) and which will be the rinsing fruit/filling kettle/filling glass sink (single). This will depend on the best locations for the dishwasher too. If the space gets reduced we might just go for one double sink. Planning on undermounts for the crumb sweep as well. Good advice on the linen. I think we might swap bed 2 and the leisure around, and maybe move the linen in between bathroom and ensuite...although that might shrink the WIR (!). Might have to find another place for it haha Thanks for your ideas yvonneh!

You need to know how big a house you want - which is constrained by land size and budget. Then get your orientation right - north side living And make a list of what you want which is 4 bed 2 living areas - master separate to other bedrooms? How many bathrooms, kitchen with pantry, alfresco? Look at some project home websites to get an idea of plans.

Due to the slope and soil classification we have decided to build a custom home and get plans drawn through a designer/architect. We are currently in design development but would love any feedback or changes you might recommend.

I'm coming to live with you ! Maybe just spin the master bed to the opposite wall so you can see the view and not someone's naked bum at 4 am while they brush their teeth with the door open and the lights blaring ? Or put it on the wir wall. I'm sure you will move it and it was the designer thinking it would be cool to watch bathroom ablutions from the bed... Some people enjoy that. Ild rather not see all someone's secrets.... But otherwise fabbooooo Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2117Dec 02, 2015 9:25 pm Thanks kiwi lol in our past home I was woken up every morning by hubby showering due to the layout.... Really didn't like being woken up by the sound of running water and the bathroom fan Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2118Dec 02, 2015 9:29 pm Is there a view? Is that why living areas are pointing south? Its a lovely plan. Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2119Jul 16, 2016 8:29 am Hi hrvat, very nice design and layout.
