Floor plan review
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…

Show us your facade...
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…

Air tightness: one or two building wraps?

Just make sure it's installed in the…

Please comment on proposed home layout

Floor plan critique
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…

Alfresco Surface Tiling
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…

New build floor plan advice
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…

New build floor plan advice
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.…

Alfresco Surface Tiling
Trying to weigh up whether to go with composite timber decking or outdoor tiles for our alfresco and courtyard.

Building & Developing A Duplex In North Ryde
Noname, structuralBIMGuy - do us all a favour and take your little tiff offline and back…

Pick my plan to pieces pretty please!
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…

Floorplan feedback

Nice... for me, I would switch the positions of the Rumpus and Bed 2
