If it's of any relevance we're looking for a discrete low frontage on the road side leading into wide open plan glass frontage with big decks looking over the paddy fields and mountains. An ensuite master bedroom with walk in closet on top.

Large open plan living, dining, kitchen area.

2 spare bedrooms and a bathroom below the living area with a deck out over the paddy fileds, a bit.

Decks on all 3 levels facing the mountains.

Ceramic tiles through out. Concrete construction with timber used for decks and the aesthetics.

All this for zero bucks

Humbert

Humbert

This image posting is not going well for me. Somehow, in posting a larger view they ended up side by side.
I use Vectorworks.

Humbert

Heres a back view.

Humbert

Here is a large plan view:

Nawty

so I present in rough as guts form….JJ Mansion.

Ground Level….carport on bottom right, enter house via large floating limestone steps over water.

Carport big enough for 1 car and bike and maybe storage at rear.

Outside toilet accessed from floating path, can also be accessed from inside via a door where the book/storage shelves are located on right side. Located outside gives shitting privacy when you have visitors, smells outside and plumbing is incorporated with above bathroom saving dosh.

Enter into area beside kitchen, then enter huge open expanse, up to 6m ceiling above living and dining areas. All glass front with folding doors or mossie wire with shutters only.

Centre spiral floating wood staircase up to master bedroom loft.

Stone floor.

Large wooden dining table.

Mixture of large wooden posts, redwood at heights of 3m and 6m above ground. Large wooden centre beam. All exposed and natural finish.

Living and dining areas open onto small deck with 2 or 3 steps down to main deck. This allows better viewing from the inside lounge.

Deck and main living area opens in a ‘V’ shape to invite you outside and increase the viewing angle.

Large wooden picnic table outside on deck with bbq on left.

Spiral staircase down to bedrooms below.

2 bedrooms below built into the slope of the land, back and side bedroom walls can be very nice rock walls. Folding or sliding doors out onto patio under decking made of large limestone tiles. Shared bathroom for cost saving and as only intended for guests or family visits.

Master bedroom/loft…..deck on the left side, bed to face the views and open onto the main living area but with lightweight folding doors for privacy when visitors around. Large built in closet to incorporate other storage areas.

Bathroom half outside, privacy screen surrounding outside shower/bath….increase sex life. Toilet protected from outside view, but allows view of skyline while dumping…good for the system.

Shingle roof, wooden rafters all exposed, waterproofing etc hidden with bamboo weave panels.

Did this in an hour on satdy morning, so forgive the rugged beauty and I cannot draw for shit.

When you want me to build it?

DrAndy

what is a "great room"?

Humbert

A great room is a large 'lounge room'. An open, flowing space as opposed to an enclosed 'parlor' or 'living room'.

Norton

A big living room me thinks.

Smithson

^ Your's has a bar, I thought maybe this is why you called it great.

Nice plan, although it doesn't look like there's too many Windows, considering the view and to allow for air flow, do you think there could be more?

Humbert

The whole interior opens up to the exterior with full length doors and there are windows in every room.

mooncake
