Floorplans 2 May, 2009

Here is part of the (almost final) plans for our new renovations/extensions…
(Click here to see it bigger.)
This doesn’t show the granny flat, just the changes to the main house. Double-dotted lines show demolished walls. See how big the windows in the studio are! See how big the dining/family room is! See the new, big bathroom with a real bath! A bath!
We learned some interesting things about the property from the surveyors’ drawings:
- The total area of the block is 1168.6 square metres (huge!)
- The trunk of our big tree has a diameter of 1.6 metres
- Even with the extensions AND the granny flat, we will still only have less than 20% coverage of the land.
The plans should go to council in just over a week. And then more waiting.

All the best. I love the personal touch with the names, rather than bed 1, master bed etc… Have you asked the kids which rooms they want?
I have to admit, I changed the labels for the purpose of this post!
Hamble and Boo have the same rooms as before (well, in the same locations, at least), and Polendino’s being relocated to the farthest room from the oldies. He’s not unhappy about that!
So exciting!
Plans look fabulous Kt – isn’t the waiting the worst? And btw, wow that is a very large block indeed. And also quite a large tree
