Congrats on saving enough to build a new place for your folks, Sharon. Good luck to you in the build and I look forward to following your progress. A good daughter indeed!

Not a nice view at all, just a road. A nice view is the backyard actually. Dad grows veggies and fruits, very greenie.

I'd be moving the terrace to the back of the house then.

depends if you want your front door right on the road though.any space knocking round the side?

You mean land? If yes, we got heaps.

By the way, I want to put a fan on the ceiling. How high a ceiling should it be? Any idea?

One more thing, for the kitchen, buying a kitchen set vs. ask someone to build it, which one is cheaper?

Someone said DD posted about building kitchen long time ago, I tried to look for it but couldn't find it.

2.8m minumum for ceiling fan.
built kitchen is cheaper but must be planned properly and workers must be supervised by someone RESPONSIBLE or they will definately fuck it up
worktop heights, sink position, door positions etc need to be controlled 100%

where does the sun rise on your drawing ? top , bottom , left or right ?

very nice keep up the great work

It's on right hand side.

This question makes me to stop and think again. Maybe I should swap side?

is a 1 metre wide shower cubicle enough ? should it be wider ?

good stuff shaz...nice to see those ozzie dollars being put to some good use...

I'll follow this thread with interest...will the wedding be there as well?..

Because of a question from baldrick about the sun rise so I swap a bit from left to right. I think bed rooms should be on the same side with sun rise.

I like the new design, quite compact but very functional, one small suggestion in the kitchen it appears the window is over the counter if you were to relocate over the sink you can look out while slaving in the kitchen and could also add a cabinet in the space. Good luck hope to see a construction thread soon

standard shower cubicles you buy from d shops are 90cms, so 1m is sufficient, corridors need to be 1m minumum, 1.2 or even 1.4 is better if it can fit..
remember standard doors are 80cms ,
i would get rid of windows above the beds, kitchen needs some more work, sink and oven position in particular, sink should be below window, not oven.
built in robe in bedroom 2 is in the way of the entry. needs making smaller, or reposition.

apart from that looking goood.

4 TVs?

Thank you so much. I repositioned a robe in bedroom2 but didn't get rid of windows, I kinda like it like that but if my family and the builder think the same as you... we will see.

and no windows above stoves now.
