I need your help with the sketches
... before plans get sent to be drawn for council.
We have 1 acre (4300sq mets) near the top of NZ
I will get photos of the land when it stops raining. (we are on a par with the Gong in NSW )
but more sub tropical.
I have 5 kids and we have no money (cos of said 5 kids)
1 has just left for his OE in the uk..so yay, 4 to go.
I would like the bedroom wing to one day be self contained..hence a cavity slider (lockable) down the hall from kitchen and bed 4 will have a kitchenette in WIR and will be a lounge/dining with access via sliding door in the future... 2 beds, bathroom etc
a few things to tweak on the plans...
North is master ensuite window/ east family room doors (also where the view is)
The stacker sliders are to look like bi folds..so no line halfway down the glass going horizontally.
The only line I want is on the 2 opening windows of the family room sliders...
all the other 7 panes (the family and master doors) are to have nothing obstructing the view. Just glass in the frames. (the plan has a line in the doors...grrr)
If poss I will swap the cavity slider over to slide into the WIR wall..as I have no where to put a heated towel rail and I wanted it next to the vanity..
(as that is the only spare space! it will be skinny and long. not fat and short.)
lounge window
1015 x 1815 (I want it high up so a table can go outside and not be infront of window. Same as play station room window) an extendable awning 6 mets long and 2.5 mets wide will go out from that wall for alfresco..hence windows higher up.
sliding/ bifold window in kitchen (so a deck can be there and we can have a 'bar' ...cheers somewoman!)
clear glass in en suite
man hole in garage with loft ladder
all cavity sliders are 2.4 high
(there are 3)
curved shower in bathroom by lounge
kitchen breakfast bar only 1200 deep not 1500
laundry walls to be the same length. (so it is like an alcove)
for council purposes bed 5 is an ‘office’, playstation room is ‘storage’, bed 2 is ‘kids tv’
‘it is a 3 bedroom home’
lounge is for tv viewing, and family/ dining room..no tv.
play room is for wii/ play station
it is 242 sqs and that is all we can afford to build...
Nathan from Buddedesign (AWESOME) drew up my ideas and I got someone in NZ to draw them up as he could come to the land and Nathan unfortunately couldnt.
Nathan will put them on this thread though as they are in PDF and I cant.
Thanks also to somewoman who helped me with WIR's, a HUGE pantry..2 actually, and helped me realise I could squeeze 5 beds, 2 living, 3 bathrooms, playroom, and a double garage in!!
thanks to you both..you are superstars!
everyone's thoughts..most welcome.
EDITED DEC 2011 Here are the plans we actually used. and some videos which are also on page 33~ taken halfway through the build.
We moved in March 28th 2011 and have been loving it ever since (page 63 is move in day)
(page 109 has some outside landscaping pics)
