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.

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

That looks amazing!!

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…

Our existing kitchen benchtops are still in really good nick and being of sizeable proportions, we were wondering if it's possible to have it recut and used for future bathroom…

We're just taking the first steps to embark on our new build adventure - knocking down our existing home on a narrow block (approx 10m frontage)
We've had an architect friend…
