A lot of people are on the hunt for energy efficient homes when building a new house. And I love that! I like to look over a floor plan which has been carefully thought out to maximise the sun. Did you know that you can have a 'sun study' done on a floor plan? So …
Here's a simple but modern floor plan. It's based on a 3 bedroom layout, with additional retreat. No wasted space in this beauty with unnecessary hallways. The whole house would be very open with the great room boasting huge raked ceilings. I love the scullery, bar and terrace area. It's definitely suited to the entertainer. …
This is a good plan! I think it will tick all the boxes for many families looking at building a new home. The kids' bedrooms + activity area is on the front, with the HUGE master room in the middle. The best part of the home is the kitchen, dining and living all on the …
This floor plan has a warehouse feel with the free-form living area when you walk through the front door. I also like the void area which hosts the master suite. It's a pretty groovy open space if you're after something a bit different. I don't mind it at all! Not everyone will like the entry …
Maybe you've got the block, but it's narrow and you want to decent size home on it?? Today I found this house plan which would suit just that! No scrimping on floor space. This cleverly designed narrow double storey floor plan is a beauty. It's 3 bedroom with 2 living spaces, huge master bedroom, lots …
I found this home via Pinterest and the link went back to a house you could win through a lottery ticket system. The house must have been won because there are no more photos or bigger images, but I still thought this looked like a great floor plan! The pool is the showpiece with every …
Country homes don't come much grander or more charming than this. This home design is suited to country living or lifestyle blocks. Family living and entertaining has been carefully considered in the layout with the combined living, dining, kitchen and laundry all centrally located. The large laundry offers plenty of storage and leads straight into …
I've never lived in a two storey house before so it's always a little tricky for me to work out the flow of the floor plan. It takes good vision to decipher how a double storey plan will come together. You have to think about the stairs, roofline, facade and how that will all look. I …
Here's a floor plan which will "provide optimal energy efficiency whilst at the same time offering a modern lifestyle with a variety of areas retreating or entertaining – all areas naturally linked together by sunlit breezeways." This plan is a perfect layout for integrating the outside environment with garden beds situated all around the house. …
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I found this big traditional country style home which you may like the look of. I couldn't find a matching facade photo, so you'll have to use your imagination. It would suit quite a large block because of the garage position. I love the big Alfresco and verandah …
I found this plan on a US site. Yes, it's probably not your standard Australian house plan, but I've been seeing the central courtyard pop up lots recently. This home would be a real statement! I also am a big fan of the high windows (north would be best!) and skillion roof-line. Love that modern …
Here's a good floor plan if your garage position needs to be on the back of the home. Maybe you have rear lane access? Plus this plan would be great if you worked from home too because the home office is right on the front of the home and it's a decent size. The house also …
