This cost $1800, yes we went with the cheapest option as we were excited just to have a big house and were trying not to over extend ourselves financially. This was at Sales stage before I had started reading this forum and realised all the items we need to consider and include. This is a photo from Henley's website.

Garage door removed and replaced by boutique glass stacking doors.
We've also put in double door entry (2 x 720 wide x 2040 height). 720 was the widest we could go. Decided not to go with increased height option. We lost one of the fixed windows in the stairwell due to adding on a large laundry room behind home office and butlers pantry, impacting height of the roof. This side is west facing. Re: Building Henley Palace Lux Q1 5BR with MODs in West MEL 11Oct 13, 2016 10:50 pm This is how the back of the house will look with the laundry room coming out the side, with a home office door next to it. The family room windows have been parted and reduced to fit a gas fireplace in the middle. Raised height of windows in family and dining room in line of alfresco doors to 2400. Have extended the back of house in line with grand alfresco being approx 1.7m. Also added in another window on bed 4 on top floor as room is now huge. This side is east facing.

We've added a fixed highlight window in bed 5 at top floor, changed the theatre window to a bedroom window being on ground floor next to HWS. The laundry door was on this side but has been relocated to the south side and enlargened. This was to make way for the ensuite next to bedroom for my mum.

Now I bet the eager wait for the land to title and the build to start Re: Building Henley Palace Lux Q1 5BR with MODs in West MEL 17Oct 14, 2016 9:43 am Thanks stayxtrue. My concern now is finance approval and bank valuation. Its a big cost. I'll post the ground floor plan once I receive the final drawings as there was one last adjustment to be made yesterday. Re: Building Henley Palace Lux Q1 5BR with MODs in West MEL 18Oct 14, 2016 9:52 am Tha banks can be rutheless as well, when we built our current house the bank under valued our land! Because it was so new and it screwed us over! Re: Building Henley Palace Lux Q1 5BR with MODs in West MEL 19Oct 14, 2016 2:10 pm Love it! Gonna be a beautiful house How did you managed to get brickwork to first floor as well? Was that an upgrade... jealous as I prefer bricks over foam cladding. Have you considered having your rangehood and powder room vented outside as opposed into the roof space? Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Gonna be a beautiful house How did you managed to get brickwork to first floor as well? Was that an upgrade... jealous as I prefer bricks over foam cladding. Have you considered having your rangehood and powder room vented outside as opposed into the roof space? Oh this is a good idea! I never thought of having it vented to outside! I might see if this is an option, actually being a double wouldnt it have to be vented to outside? or do they just run it all the way up to the ceiling space of the first level Thank you so much Simeon and I ll definitely reach out to Brad. Regards Kishan 99 360744 Hi I live in a 100yr old semi and my neighbour added an additional floor last yr and our architect has advised that we can knock down our semi and build a free-standing… 0 37934 It might be a bit darker in the mornings but the light is still light, so you should be getting it.
