Re: Our Blackwood Park hacienda 96May 04, 2012 1:33 am jodge Hello! Here's my first attempt. .. sorr. . .but I redrew your plan and made a few changes (steps are shown in red). . . is there anything you like........ Wow !! 1:00am delivery !! Thanks heaps, Mrs P_D will have to look and comment, and she's in bed now ** IF ** I was aloud to comment, and it's not certain that I am, I might of said some things like..... 1) Can the loo in the make-up area be separate from the mirror / lights / vanity ? 2) She'll have a regular door on the study 3) You've done well on the Master Bedroom, All boxes ticked, well done, someone WAS paying attention 4) Can there be a wardrobe in the Master Bedroom, doesn't need to be a large one, just somewhere to keep dressing gown / slippers / nighties etc ? 5) We'll have to have a think about it, but I **think** we might like what you've done with the kitchen...A lot ! 6) Garage MUST be minimum 6,000mm wide...How long can I have it ? 8,500mm or better ?? 7) Maximum house width must not exceed 16,000mm jodge .........Darn. . . I forgot to add a kennel! So where were you planning I sleep ? ? ? Cheers, and thanks a zillion, P_D .

Or at least a rail? - Regular study door. . . no probs. - I'm sure I can shimmy the master suite around a bit to give you a wardrobe inside, maybe I could convert a small part of the WIR? - Garage is 6250 wide at front, extra 760mm width at the back. Length is 8500. I'd think about having a double garage door instead of two singles. .. then you only need one automatic opener! Those huge steps in the dining room can be moved to the hallway, behind the pantry. Kitchen is 5.9m long, island is 3m long (which is the longest you can have it to use a single piece of stone) You have access to the back of your whole TV wall, via the master suite's hallway. WIR looks small, but it's 3900 x 2090.. . I prefer the bedroom in this position, away from the TV. I've stolen the door from the back of your garage store, and moved the door from the front to the back of the garage instead. His 'n' hers vanities and a double shower in the ensuite. Spare beds are 3200 x 4400. Bedtime! Re: Our Blackwood Park hacienda 98May 04, 2012 7:25 am There is a LOT of store rooms, is there something we are not being told!!!??? Master bed has its own linen, how posh is that I like this plan jodge. I like the site line from front door. Just my thing. Need to look at art or a mirror when entering! And the master is a hotel mini suite in dubai. Re: Our Blackwood Park hacienda 99May 04, 2012 9:11 am She's good isn't she P-D ... I like it much better than the original ... sorry For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!! Re: Our Blackwood Park hacienda 100May 04, 2012 10:31 am I can’t help but think that there’s a better way of planning this house though. There are an AWFUL lot of hallways in there. I put a store in wherever there’s leftover space. The spare bedrooms are both 3200 x 4400, which is really pretty big, and not really required if you’re going to boot out boy-child. Kiwi. .. you’re right, Dubai-master-suite is VERY grand.. . having the toilet in a separate room in the ensuite adds on a lot of space. P_D… I’d like to play around and put the living areas across the back of the house, and move the master suite just behind the garage. This would hopefully mean less hallways. Any objections? Was there a reason you didn’t want the living areas at the back of the house? This house is big enough to host a 4th bedroom, if we get rid of some of the hallways. . . or we could just trim down on the overall size and save you some moolah (or add some garage) I second taking your plans elsewhere. They're yours (unless you ended up in one of those cheaper arrangements where you don't own the rights and the build will be tendered… 2 461 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24704 |
