We are getting closer to tender stage. I have attached our floor plan. Kindly let me know your suggestions for any updates to the plan. I am looking to see if there are any changes which can improve functionality of the house. Relevant Notes: - Our block is South West facing - Interested in maximising the natural light while taking into account that we want the house to be cool in summer and warm in winter Any help would be greatly appreciated!
