Some drawings and plans of our new home

I thought we should put up some plans and drawings so people can get an idea about what we are planning to build. (Please excuse the slightly skew drawings, my original scan was not quite right and then I snipped it out of a pdf so a bit messy). The master bedroom and stdy got a bit bigger than planned thanks to councils requirements - anyway I guess it will be nice to have the extra space. We spent a lot of time modifying the BIR's between the master suite and the pc room - the master suite had a half hearted WIR and the pc room was much smaller without and robe of any sort.












We have really tried to minimise the number of trees that we have to remove. The hashed trees are now gone and it looks a bit bare. I will post a few more up to date photos soon.

Our Previous House


At the moment we are right on the verge of getting our start date, could be today, could be another week. In the mean time, I have decieded to post some pics of the previous house we built. Every home we build we try to make special in some way. This previous house was built in The Vines in Perth and was created from a very rough and harsh looking 1 acre bush block. Everything was carefully designed, planned and chosen by us to try to bring out the best features of the land.

There is 11 pictures here and I hope they give you some idea about what we set out to achieve.
