Wow Brady your architect is quick, I didn't even get a chance to finish my reply on your last set.
Architect has been great, so quick to respond.
OK I think the attached ones are great. The only question is, is that another cupboard next to the study nook upstairs? I've never seen a house with so many cupboards
Will be gone, idea is this is space for TV so can have couch along the wall of bedroom2
Onto yours.
Let's talk meals, kitchen & dining.
Kitchen
- if you are a big cook then I would make the kitchen bigger. There is some unused space on the meals side that is just sitting there all lonely. I would make wall benches go the full L shape for the kitchen. So all the way from the hallway entrance wrapping all the way around to the alfresco wall.
- then I would put a nice kickarse island facing the alfresco sliding doors with a 1200m gap in front for access in and out of the alfresco
Refer to attached document. Full overheads along wall. Reasonable island facing dinning, that way get best of both, alfresco to left for those sitting at the island, and for those behind get to look out right to alfresco and over to dinning.
Meals;
- absolutely no to the linen cupboard in the meals area.
- leave that as a nook where you can put a sideboard or something like that
Agree wont be a linen cupboard, thinking built in wine rack with some lighting. Be nice to look at whilst sitting at the table.
Living:
- I know this is driving you nuts but it's actually very furnishable. That window which is labled 600 x 2410 is a highlight, ie high up so you can put a sofa under that or a tv cabinet.
- I'd probably put my tv on the wall bordering the garage though and my couches under the highlight window and facing the tv
You're right struggled with the furniture but have looked closer at window size.
Powder Room
- consider putting this under the stairs then you can create a great laundry and put a laminate linen cupboard that matches the bench - bootiful
Already suggested this, but believes it would be too tight. Will ask again.
Other things.
- consider raising/coffering the ceiling of the alfresco so that you have enough height to put a ceiling fan in there and/or don't make the wall of the bbq full height. Otherwise it might struggle to get fresh air in there.
- I'm not sure the 600 x 2410 window in the master bedroom is necessary and will drive you nuts finding blinds for it. I think the big glass sliding doors will provide plenty of light. Put your bed on the wall which had the 600 x 2410 window
- think about where the towel rail will fit in the master ensuite. I like mine next to the shower so I can reach it when I come out. You might need to make that door a 720 if you want to do that
- great idea, currently it's not fully closed... in two minds do I close it so it closed off from the elements or leave BBQ open.
- Agree and I think by not having the window can put some nice artwork
- excellent call, didnt even think of this.
Thank you your feedback is amazing
