The design matches our ideas, but we are open to ideas and suggestions as we are in early planning stages.
I find many things a bit... cramped, even though the house itself isn’t that small.
It starts with this narrow corridor between the house and the garage... don’t get me wrong, we have a similar passage, but not a two-story structure that blocks a lot of light and also dominates the space vertically.
Then the kitchen is quite small, and there is no dining area at all. The pantry isn’t even big enough to fit a freezer—what is the purpose of that room? The hallway on the upper floor feels oppressive as well... Three toilets for three people is a luxury.
The chill-out area is quite large again, and the master suite is also oversized. It seems the idea of a dream wellness oasis was planned there.
Who is going to live in the granny flat? Are you close with the residents, or is that why they are so close?
The occupant parks in front of the garage? 😎
Visually, the roof is too tall.
