Hey Anna
It looks to be a lovely home!
Couple of initial observations, questions and reflections for your consideration
Is there a reason why you have decided not to extend the first floor…

Thanks MrSober - can you recommend a ceiling mounted WAP?
basic Google search has led me to
TP-Link EAP620 HD AX1800 Wireless Dual Band Ceiling Mount Access Point (EAP620 HD…

Just jumping on to this thread as I'm also at a similar point in trying to understand and decide what's the best way to configure my home network.
Building a 2…

Hi Balamjn
Couple of thoughts:
1. Your floorplan has not been designed to take into account your orientation. It looks like currently there's a missed opportunity to take advantage of your rear…

I think this facade looks good with the thin window frames - the thinner frames give an elegance to the facade. I'd be careful about making the frames bigger as…

i'm wanting to do both external and internal wrap.. pending budget and supply constraints.

who did you use for your WUFI analysis? we've been advised to get one done for our roof assembly as well as we're also seeking to adopt passivhaus principles with…

Overall it looks to be a nice floorplan. Couple of thoughts you might want to consider
Laundry - this room looks to be oversized which runs the risk of becoming under…

If they've put up the fence without consultation or quote, I wouldn't expect to be asked for any contribution towards it. Free fence yay!
Just make sure it's installed in the…

On the whole the ground floor plan looks good. My only comment is to consider your orientation carefully particularly in relation to the glazing on the left (western) side of…

We engaged an independent BASIX and NatHERS assessor to provide feedback on our designs and help us tweak it to meet 6 stars requirements. Unfortunately we didn't have the budget…

That's not a good enough reply in my books. That's something I would've expected my builder to check on at quoting stage before placing the order for the windows. At…

it's hard to make any real valuable critique/feedback of your floorplan without knowing the orientation of the site.
Floor plan design isn't just about the layout and arrangement of rooms. Planning…

that's what i'm considering.
I'll have a concrete slab... just need to decide on how much to rebate the concrete. whether to allow just for tile to be laid directly on…

Jason makes some good observations.
To add to this - consider where children and guests will dry off and change before/after swimming. Looks like your only real powder room on the…

Floor plan looks great as a first pass!
Pool pump and housing should be able to fit in the space you pointed out - just check the dimensions of the units.…

Trying to weigh up whether to go with composite timber decking or outdoor tiles for our alfresco and courtyard.
I know decking would need to be mounted on a system of…

Noname, structuralBIMGuy - do us all a favour and take your little tiff offline and back…

That looks amazing!!

My main feedback is consider your orientation for thermal efficiency and performance. All your bedrooms are currently situated on the western side of the house and so potentially exposed to…

If you need a separate powder room, you could possibly carve out some space in the laundry. The existing laundry dimensions look quite generous with lots of potentially dead floor…

Some tweaks I would explore:
- swap the current mud room/drop zone with the Guest ensuite - entry to the house from the garage via the mudroom to the entrance hallway.…

Looks like an amazing block and first round of designs. Congrats on getting the ball rolling!
Couple of observations from my own perspective if I were to be living in this…

love the designs that oklouise has drawn up!
couple of my thoughts thinking about the property from a prospective holiday rental perspective:
- Having the master bedroom lookout towards the ocean is…

Nice! One can only hope someone is interested to take it... unfortunately timing is always the issue isn't it?
Yeah it is a nice kitchen. Would be a shame for it…

Nice... for me, I would switch the positions of the Rumpus and Bed 2
Long internal hallways for me look and feel quite restrictive and claustrophobic. By having the Rumpus opposite…

Lovely floorplan...
I would look to flip just the Living Room and Alfresco to maximise the northern light coming through from earlier in the day.
Also have the TV against the western…
