Floor Plans & Elevations Sketches Finalised!!!

Posted by Haywire


I have finally been able to save a Jpeg format of my floor plans & elevation drawings from my architect who have been sending them in PDF files. He couldnt' help me save it in any other format except PDF because of his CAD program. BUT, I have got it out!!! We looooove our house plan....!!! Although we're only in our very early stages of build, we can't wait to see it in fruition.

Here are the Elevations. We want to go for something a LITTLE bit modern, with a rendered parapet section. I love dark bricks and light roofing as a contrast. But I will see if the builder is able to upgrade to the bricks I like because they are a fair bit dearer.

On the South side, you will see my alfresco area with sliding doors from the Dining area. I have also requested a double swing-open windows from the Kitchen so that food can be brought from there directly. That window will also have a ledge to be able to put drinks or food. I think I might get some bar stools for that area too... "Can I have 2 Asahi's pls...?" hehehehe



Over here is the floor plan I recently finalised (to be exact, I signed off on them yesterday).

As you can see, there's the Master, with a big arse WIR (Walk-In-Robe) for Carrie. Re-jigged the ENS (Ensuite) to have the mirror just underneath the long "jailbird" windows on top and a double 1200mm shower stall.
Home Theatre (HT) room, Library, Study, Laundry, Double Garage, Common Bath/Toilet, Bed 2 & Bed 3, Kitchen with Carrie's favourite Island bench countertop, Family/Living room and the Dining areas. The Family and Dining areas will be swapped around because I want the TV to be on the wall of the HT room and have the Dining table to be around the back where we can walk straight out to the Alfresco for a little wine/beer after dinner. The Double Garage comes with a Rear Access to drive cars straight through and for this purpose, the part from the back of the garage will all be concreted.
We are trying to minimise the backyard to lessen gardening and maintenance. However I really do like to have some turf to make things a little bit more visually appealing. Guess Carrie will be doing her baking while I'm getting my hands dirty in the backyard!!! :P
Hope to come back with more pictures soon!!! :)
