Comments (7)Congrats on your soon to be 7th family member and a new home. Although i don't deal with home layout I'm all about the kitchen benchtop so when you come down to colour choice in your kitchen and what benchtop to choose I can definitely be of help. Happy building....See MoreNew build floorplan
Comments (4)You could reverse the layout of the ensuite, and have the door to it through the walk in wardrobe (so you would only have one door coming off the bedroom). If I were you, I'd consider swapping the positions of the ensuite and wardrobe, so the current ensuite door becomes the wardrobe door. That way you could move the bed to the east (right), and you would have room for a seating area in the north west corner of the room (as your bedroom looks huge!). I'd also add a window on the small bit of north facing wall in that room; you already have corner windows in the living and another bedroom, so you could match those in style. Personally I don't particularly like the current layout of the main bathroom, although I can see the reasoning behind it (i.e. vanity at entrance, toilet hidden behind wall, window above bath). I think it might work better if you put the shower in the corner where the bath currently is (i.e. beside the toilet, opening to the west), and the bath on the same wall as the vanity. You'd have to move the window, of course. Alternatively, do you actually need three toilets? You could remove the toilet in the main bathroom, and you'd have room for a freestanding bath and/or a bigger shower. You could consider stealing a bit of space from the kitchen to create some storage at the entryway. I'm not sure where your garage will be, but it's really handy to have a designated place at the point of entry for all the stuff you tend to dump when you first come into the house (schoolbags, coats, mail etc). Overall, I think the layout is pretty good, but you could potentially lower the build cost by making it all a bit smaller. It's really worthwhile taking the time to figure out just how much space you actually need, and where you need it. For example, if it were my house, I'd take about half a metre off both the east bedrooms (so the house is shorter from east to west), plus I'd make it smaller north to south by slightly reducing the size of all three bedrooms, and making the kitchen a bit smaller (so the hall cupboard lines up with the back wall of the small living room). But your priorities may be completely different from mine!...See MoreFeedback on floor plan for open living area in new build
Comments (4)To me it looks like it would be better to have a smaller kitchen as being a 1 bedroom place the living/ kitchen area is quite small. I think having the essentials along the bedroom wall is good but the island makes the living area too small in the first plan, and in the second the cabinets make the walkway too narrow. I would put sink, fridge, oven along the bedroom wall then make any other bench and storage space more like moveable furniture to make the living area seem bigger. The kitchen may be able to be shut off behind doors (a bit like a euro laundry) when not in use to make a much bigger living room, especially if it isn't used a lot....See MoreBathroom and laundry placement - help please
Comments (2)Hi there! Based on what you've shared, it seems like you're facing a dilemma when it comes to the placement of your bathroom and laundry. If natural light and ventilation are a concern, I would recommend considering the use of highlight glazing in both rooms. By doing so, you can allow natural light to filter through both spaces, and the laundry's internal windows could provide additional light to the hallway. However, without seeing more of the floor plan and understanding the adjacent spaces, it's difficult to make more specific recommendations. While external windows are ideal for wet areas, it's not always feasible to add them to every room. But, there are other solutions to consider, such as frosted glazing in internal doors, that can still provide some level of natural light. Ultimately, I suggest consulting with a design professional to help you weigh your options and find a solution that works best for your needs and preferences. Good luck with your project!...See MoreLisa Dipiro
