The Plan


I have designed our home using the software Home Designer Suite 6.0.

The home is a single story dwelling split over 3 levels with 201 sq m of living, and a total of 273 sq m.

Although the land runs north/south the fall of the land is more north-west/south-east. So the house will be angled with the fall.

The main living areas have been positioned to make the most of the northerly sun and the lounge positioned on the eastern corner to make the most of the views to the east.

The master bedroom and the guest bedroom also enjoy the views. The window seat in the master bedroom will be a wonderful spot to sit first thing in the morning with a cup of tea.

The study will have views to the south and the home theatre is tucked in between the garage and laundry.

It has taken quite a few drafts to get the plan right, trying to make the most of the sunlight and the location. The alfresco was originally accessed from the dining room but didn't make the most of the views, so we moved it to the north/east corner.

The house will be positioned as far up the block as is necessary to enjoy the views to the east without them being blocked by the neighbours roof.

I'm sure that there will be plenty of tweaking of the plan but it is looking good for now.

Having revised your plan a few times you have come up with a good design to suit the land fall. I am looking forward to seeing the elevations and roof lines.

I'm looking forward to seeing the elevations and roof lines too. Can't wait to see what the building company comes up with. We will visit the site soon to position the home.
