Advice needed from the gurus please

Post by gravaj »

My name is Amelea and I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. I am a REAL noob at this and need some advice.

This is how our house is looking at the moment and we'd like to expand it in any way possible. Do you guys have any ideas?

PS. My hubby and I spent the better part of half a day to get this far :)

If you need more info please ask. Oh and we're trying not to have any windows facing backwards (this is south africa, lol

Amelea,

Send me the SH3D file, and I'll have a look at it.

Hi Hans

Thanks for the reply!

The file is almost 4 megs (after compressing it with winrar) so I rather uploaded it to a file hosting site. The direct link is http://www.quickshare.co.za/files/47asf ... 0.rar.html

Please note that we might have missed some small details (I notice now that we forgot to add the basins in the bathrooms).

We'd especially like to make use of the lots of free space at the back and next to the house (not the garage, but the area infront of it where the grill is standing).

Feel free to change whatever you like! Even if you need to move the master bedroom somewhere else :)

Kind regards
Amelea

Amelea,

Attached you'll find a rough sketch of how you could remodel your house. I kept the longitudinal walls, the rest has changed.
Let me know what you think of it... :-)

Wow, just wow!!! Showed it to my hubby and he almost fainted!

I'm just wondering isnt there any way that we can rather work with the free space at the back and side and the main bedroom/shower room? The changes you've proposed are a little bit...dramatic (for the lack of the better word lol)

We really do appreciate your help Hans!
