Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 17Jul 27, 2017 4:14 pm Was there a particular reason why the garage had to be detached from the house? Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 18Jul 27, 2017 8:32 pm No, we probably didn't have to! As you can see our block is a funny shape as well as having easements and it has turned out very difficult to fit a house on! From memory though, the driveway position made positioning most houses with attached garages near impossible. We decided we liked the idea of the detached garage just for something a bit different to most contemporary homes and we think it will work well on the block. The site cut has placed the garage down low with the house set higher which should make it a bit interesting to the eye too. Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 19Jul 27, 2017 8:41 pm Is your balcony covered by the roof? We just realised ours is not covered at all, bit of an oversight on our part we should have extended the roof out but my better half has a plan to make some of it undercover. Re: Metricon Trentham Build - The Baby Bordeaux 20Jul 27, 2017 8:54 pm No ours isn't covered by roof but we are fine with that. Since we've gone for the manor facade and have added in parapets to our facade it would probably look silly on ours to have a roof extension I think. Would have looked fine to extende the roofline on your facade but I'm sure you'll enjoy the balcony anyway. Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
