Comments (1)Hi Lisa - I'm curious, what did you decide? I'm in the same position, tossing up between costly repairs to the original tiled roof, or getting a brand new colourbond one....See MoreNeed advice on a new house layout
Comments (36)Hey! Figuring out the layout can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've been there too. It's all about finding what works best for you and your lifestyle. Personally, I'm a fan of open floor plans because they create a spacious and connected vibe. It's great for entertaining and keeping an eye on things, especially if you have little ones. As for the bedrooms, it depends on your needs. If you're thinking of a home office or a guest room, that's always handy. For those planning to purchase a condo in the near future, I recommend looking at the options that Hillock Green has to offer. They are considered to be one of the best real estate developers....See MoreBest roof line design for small extension on existing house
Comments (4)i can't read the dimensions to be more accurate but depending on the difference between the location of the nth wall of the living room and the north wall of the laundry the new roof could be continuous and a portico would be the same either way but there might need to be an extra space.. like a verandah or extended eve to make the roof shape simpler...See MoreHelp with floor layout for a narrow house
Comments (16)Hi Charlie, If you want to outdoor living on the north side as a priority, go for it. I have attached a sketch that allows you to do this and maintain 4 good sized bedrooms. I have assumed you could change your pedestrian access to the house to match where your cars access the house on the north. This will reduce how much of your outdoor space is given over to access rather than usable space. Forgive me if I'm wrong on this point. The sketch maintains a large number of the internal walls and one of the existing bathroom locations. I have closed the front door and put in the master ensuite in its place, this way there is an external window for this room. You may need to consider means of escape from the bedrooms by putting big low level windows in or french doors from B1 onto the verandah. If you don't like this idea, you could make B4 the master and put the second bathroom where the powder room is but this would make both bathrooms smaller and with small kids I think it will be nicer to have a separate powder room. So, all the bedrooms are at the front and all the living is at the back, though I am suggesting you switch what is back and front!!! The roof structure and ceiling over the new living area could possibly be altered to be higher to make it feel bigger. You could change the trusses to rafters and beams where needed, possibly within the existing roof envelope and have sloping ceilings. Open the new living up to the back yard (new front)as you want. New openings will need to be adequately structured. I have also shown a courtyard off the kitchen and dining. This is to the west so you will need a shade structure outside the kitchen or it will be too hot to cook in the evening. The dining could move to the back of the house in conjunction with the living and have just a breakfast area opening onto the court instead. This will be more private that then north space and will be nice and cool in the morning or great for autumn and spring evenings. The only down side of this is the long corridor but that is a function of these 'single stack' houses. You could make B3 smaller and the corridor could double as a playroom if your kids are small and you could put in an additional door between B3 and the powder room to keep their mess out of view!!! It might be a bit hazardous for you if it is not kept tidy but you could introduce storage down one side for toys etc. It seems like a wide corridor so it could work. Good luck, Christine....See Morebigreader
