Do you mean on both the ground floor and the first floor? We're doing the Santorini as well and had no problem with increasing our ceiling height on the ground floor; but they did discourage us from raising the ceiling height on the first floor. They told us we'd probably have problems getting Council to approve it and it would likely lead to neighbour complaints because of the increased height but looking back that seemed a bit of a furphy. Still, we went back to the display home to look at the first floor ceilings and they looked fine so we left them as standard.

I also wanted the house elevated slightly to catch the sea views from the east The way around it I suppose is to excavate more and have a very cleaver landscape designer! I was hoping to avoid excavating too much but what can I do and goodness knows what views we'll get now? For us the standard ceiling height on the first floor of the Santorini in Warwick farm gave a sense of feeling boxed in, where as That wasn't the case in Kellyville or in the top floor of the Villina.

We are also putting in roof windows in the rumpus because that's our southern aspect... create more light. I'm concerne our kitchen will be too dark considering we have put in the laundry. making every attempt to make it "green", cross ventilation, natural light etc So looking at spending already before we even get our tender!

I just read your thread and sounds like we are in very similar positions, albeit we are few weeks behind you... We are building in [edit] Council and also fell off our chairs when we got the Masterton tender quote back. Also trying to make our house as "green" as possibly with north orientation, cross ventilation. How are you going with the tender negotiations? Are you managing to get your sales rep to add anything to the inclusions????
