At the moment you have 2 hallways side by side near Bed 3/ ldry. You can make Bed 3, Ldry, Bath open directly onto the main hallway and use the space you have saved elsewhere. Your hallway should be at least 1m wide, preferable 1100-1200mm. Your kitchen circulation space is too small. You should have at least 1200 between the cupboards and island bench to enable opening cupboards comfortably. I would swap the alfresco and family room location, creating a large open family/ meals. The kitchen bench near the sink can extend to the alfresco wall, and the island bench will have a nice outlook to the alfresco. A combined family/ meals will make your living area more versatile and easier to furnish. At the moment the space will be crowded once you add couches etc. I agree with moving the master bedroom to the front, it will have a nicer outlook and get natural light from the North. Re: Suggestions on a custom plan? First Home Build! 12Aug 28, 2017 2:45 pm If you can't make your hallway wider. Consider putting in plaster hampers at each end so it feels not so much like a long corridor I agree with the poster who suggested swapping blocks as your wasting North sun on a garage? And your alfresco area is going to be South/East. If you cannot swap blocks. Consider moving the Master to the front. Congrats.
