Description:
Hi,

I am seeking house floor plans for a 2 story family home to be built in Townsville Australia. The house should be approximately 380sqm in size and be designed to take into account our climate which is hot and humid in summer and mild winters. This would include capturing prevailing breezes, shading and room placement. Information about building in Townsville can be found here www.townsville.qld.gov.au/water-waste-and-environment/sustainability/sustainable-housing under the sustainable housing information kit.

The block is North facing and has parkland opposite, a picture can be found here www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-residential+land-qld-burdell-202763674

I have also indluded the sizes of the block in the attachements

Our style for the house will be modern Hamptons/Tropical

GROUND FLOOR:
Master suite: ensuite to have a bath tub (ideally overlooking something relaxing), double vanity. Good size WIR.

Kids area that can be closed off from the rest of the house to conceal mess: 3 kids rooms connecting to a kids retreat area. This area of the house should also have a bathroom with free standing bath tub and double vanity. Separate toilet/powder room as this will also be for visitors.

2 car garage with a 3rd car garage next to it to be used as workshop/storeroom

Mud room off the garage

Laundry off the mud room with decent bench space

Kitchen with servery to the outside dining alfresco area, decent island bench with small prep sink. Butlers pantry, large pantry with tonnes of shelving to see and have easy access to all food. Double sink and dishwasher in a bench under the servery. Island bench would ideall afford views to the outside patio and a TV in the lounge

Kitchen should connect to open plan small dining area and lounge room
Small inside dining area close to the kitchen (round table preference close to a window seat or bay window?) pic attached for inspiration.

Open plan lounge room in front of the kitchen for ease of entertaining (should also have a TV in view of kitchen). Im imagining this space to be quite decent, enough space so that we can fit in a decent group of people comfortably when entertaining.

Study nook close to kitchen, big enough for two kids to do homework at (perhaps that can be concealed?)

Big open patio area connecting with Alfresco with outdoor kitchen (or space for one) and plenty of room for lounging

Pool coming off patio 25 to 30000 litres

Nice front porch, enough for a big double swing so we can be comfy watching the kids on the road/path.

1ST FLOOR:
Study
Guest room with ensuite
Media Room

Please provide the files in the most compatible file formats and PDF's
Wants:
Consideration will be given to designs that are unique, designed for our climate and young family functionality.

We may engage the winner to provide further architectural drawings such as elevations after this.
Don't Wants:
Living spaces on the western side
Additional Information
The house is to be light filled and airy, with consideration for high ceilings throughout the ground floor living/dining and kitchen and provisions for skylights in the kitchen.

For block dimensions download the file 7 Capella Entrance which has the dimension of lot 8 which is circled. Bearing in mind there is a sewer line running parallel to the rear fence of the property with any fixed construction needing to be 3m from it I believe and there is a 6m setback on the block as per the site covernet.

We are also looking for as much yard space as possible for the children to play in on the eastern side of the house so the house shades the area from the western afternoon sun.

I have added two attachments from a local builder. Which I'm hoping will guide some redesigns.
1st 2 Story Plan Things we liked
- Mudroom connects to laundry
- void
- likes the courtyard with bathtub in ensuite looking out to it. But may compromise and convert it to a butlers Pantry to save space.
- Front Porch
1st 2 story plan dislikes
- To big! Ground floor was approx 390m2 and 75ms for top
- no servery in kitchen to alfresco area.

2nd 2 Story plan likes
- Servery to built in dining table with bench seat on nib wall.
- The size reduction to 340m2

2nd 2 story plan dislikes
- Office is downstairs
- Mudroom and laundry don't connect
- The dining area, would prefer a nook with a bench seat on a window
- hard to place an outdoor kitchen under the patio

Have also added another file for inspiration The+Hamptons. We like the design of this home even though it is single story.

Hi Andrew. My concern is about kids rooms. Room size has to be comfortable for any age, from very young to adult?
I&;m almost done with design and please don&;t close competition early.
Thank you

Hello Mr Holmes,

I would like to ask where is the North side of the property?

Thank you

The contest is a little light on payout. "Nothing more than floor plans" for 4,000 S.F. takes a minimum of a week to provide anything noteworthy. Then, if you&;re off base then it&;s wasted time. A floor plan you like (but not copy) off the internet would make things a little more simple.

I see that the lot is listed as 1019 sq. m. but do you have the length and width of the property? I don&;t want to make the house too wide for the site.

Keve, What would you suggest for nothing more than floor plans? As I described in the job I will need further plans on the sucessful design and will obviously pay further for that work to be completed.

Hi Amerk is there anything further that you need?

People wanting to get ideas on a whole house bid for less than $200! Doesn&;t even cover cost to design.
