If north is to the top of the plan I'd be moving the entrance around to the same side as the garage and have the north side dedicated to the living areas, kitchen etc. Just because it's a corner block can you keep the north side private rather than have two open street frontages.

That would have been ideal, but then I'd need much bigger front setback. For such a small lot, that's a big amount. It's R20 zoned. Only with the current setup I can have the garage as close as 2.5m to the lot boundary. Otherwise the minimum is 4m. Layout planning 19Apr 17, 2019 2:18 pm I think the dining and living should be swapped around. Can you include the toilet in your ensuite and therefore it becoming more spacious? This will remove 1 of the doors and you can have your towel rack more centred as well as having two vanities. The L shape wardrobe seems a bit funny in bed 1. I’ve never seen this done before.

Thanks for your suggestions mate. I'll try them out and see how it goes. About swapping living-dining, my main concern would be the placement of the TV. The garage door would force it to go on the left, which would make the L-shaped sofa blocking the patio door. About the ensuite toilet, opening it up could be a good option. The L-shaped wardrobe I think is a great way to have as much storage as a WIR, without wasting space. Plus a mirrored Slider would make the room seem bigger. Give Jonathan a call.
