| Your little design is quite like our holiday place but ours looks slightly more traditional with Thai clay tiles & a higher roofspace for venting. Like you I don't want a bathroom under the house and am not keen on kitchen smells wafting up either. We have been going to bookstores every weekend and looking at outdoor bathroom & kitchen designs. I think we're going to have a concrete wall with a roof extending a couple of metres each side. One side will be the outdoor kitchen with a concerete benchtop for chopping and food prep (we use a gas BBQ). The other side will have the bathroom, probably with the remaining 3 walls made of flotsam&jetsam rescued from around the land. We have no electricity or running water so we have bought some camp showers that you can put in the sun to heat. We're trying to make it as open air as possible to avoid the mozzies and to let in light. We'll probably stick a few concrete blocks here and there to balance candles or lanterns on...
Our budget was 400k but with price rises in building supplies this past year we think we are now looking at closer to 500k. |
