New House Design

Yesterday Rene and I met with the designer of our new home. The plans look wonderful, but I'm a bit biased since it is essentially what I planned already. Two storeys, three bedrooms plus study, three bathrooms, large deck at the front on the top floor, kitchen and living room at the front on top. It has over 80 sqm of gallery space on the ground floor plus a workroom and a double garage. Exterior will be weatherboard, the roof Colourbond metal roofing, integrated ducted air conditioning, solar hot water....the list goes on. Very exciting. Approval should be through before Christmas and the builder can start in January, but the finish time is around June. At the moment it is well below our budget but we have yet to add stone benchtops and a two pack kitchen etc etc. Still, it is quoted with timber floors upstairs for the living areas plus study, carpet in the bedrooms and tiles on the ground floor. The whole house has 9ft ceilings on both levels, and the living area's ceiling rises along with the scissor framed roof. I think it'll look brilliant.
