Comments (17)Thanks Mel. We'll see what we can do to make the rumpus enclosed - it's probably more of a "man cave" at the moment :) Grandad had a dining table in his current place (which is bigger) and got rid of it because he never used it. He also wants more bench space than he currently has. So, this was a deliberate choice rather than a compromise due to lack of space. You've reminded me now that someone did warn us earlier in the design process about the back and forth between wardrobe and bathroom becoming annoying over time. We don't currently have an en suite so it feels wonderfully convenient for us by comparison. However, that feeling will change if we realise it could have been even better. We did have the en suite off the wardrobe in some designs but have been warned this can lead to dampness in your clothes no matter how well ventilated the bathroom is (especially in Auckland's humidity). Would love to hear people's experiences of this configuration - good and bad. On top of that, there are lovely private bush views to the south so we've tried to make the most of those....See MoreNew build house plan advice
Comments (3)In my opinion I perfer option 2 from the perspective of enjoying the sun in the evening and having the option of entertaining more so in the evening given the sun and house orientation. See you have a couple bi-fold doors in the living room so assume this leads out to a deck or some outdoor area for entertaining. Also the 3 main bedrooms will get the morning sun so will warm up till midday/early afternoon. Some something to note that Bedroom 4 in both options would likely be the coldest room in the house so probably some heating options would be required for this room. Some initial thoughts based on your plans - hope that helps...See MoreFeedback on house plans please.

Comments (0)We are thinking about adding a fourth bedroom. We have 30 sqm available in the 40% of land regulations. We would also like a bigger kitchen - our ideal includes a scullery with a sink, but would settle for just bigger. This is our house and site plan, do you have any ideas?...See MoreSanjee Naren
