Thank you for your opinion I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I would expect the curtains will be bunched along the north wall to the corners of the east and west walls. Not going around the corner of course, but I…

The windows on the left (and right and the partial wall) are currently centred wall to wall (the blue line).
We are going to add a bulkhead/pelmet from the ceiling 20cm…

Thank you for your thoughts, bed 4 is going to be rarely used, and we can't go longer else we'll be overshadowed by neighbours. I'll think some more.

Thanks, I understand your comments, I've had similar thoughts but nothing I try works any better.
We had the WC where the vanity is and the rest was one room,…

Yes, the rear wall is all 900 eaves + gutter so just over 1m, with the height of the eaves it was the best compromise length.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions on this plan.
I've tried to focus mainly on passive solar principles allowing for summer afternoon breeze direction (SE-E). The 'W1' windows are short…

Stunning screen. Where did you get it from?

oh wow, thanks heaps for that!

I'm choosing PGH Moondust but contemplating a feature brick.
There's a new brick (to the local Austral display centre anyway as they haven't had it laid yet, guess brickies are hard…

I really like all your choices, other than the dining. I don't know if it suits your style but something larger, rounder and 'airier' or less solid/structured over the dining…

I like the last option

I'm still at the lines on paper stage and been watching a few builds on here that have used Ikea wardrobes recently.
My plans have come back with built ins of…

Thanks Becs Coral,
Does anywhere provide colorbond roof samples? Probably not a brick/tile place though!

That's great info, thanks
Which brickyard did you visit for samples (both PGH and Austral are now at Beresfield)?

I'm finally in a position to look into this and thought a dedicated topic might be the way to go for future.
Where do people get samples of their potential selections…

Hi
I was hoping there'd be an easy answer out there that I just don't know how to find.
I'm hoping to have a built in bulkhead act as a pelmet on…

Any more photos for page 16?

Thanks deejay08
I hadn't seen that website before!

Hi Joynz,
No, this is all made by me so far. I've had difficulty finding a company that seems as aware/invested in these design principles as I am.

The BOM's closest station has summer 3pm winds being mostly SE/E which flips to NW/W in winter 3pm.

Thanks oneJohn,
My concerns exactly, will the breeze actually come in since it would be asked to go from ceiling to ground height against potential heat rising from the inside. And…

Thanks TraceyWayne,
Ah yes, glazing, a whole new world LOL
We are building in the lower Hunter Valley NSW. In the temperate climate 5 region but with quite a large diurnal temperature…

Hi
Newbie here. I feel like I'm going in circles with every decision I try to make planning a new house.
Our long narrow-ish (in comparison) block faces almost north (22.5-25.5 NNE),…

Thank you!

Will kitchen or stone places generally sell stone benchtops by quantity instead of requiring you to buy the whole slab and use only a tiny fraction of it?
We only have…
