This will be a guest house however we will be living at the back . The house will have 4 bedrooms 2 of them will have kitchen nets . Upstairs will be a loft . I want to have the outside shower and toilet . I am on a tight budget, I am in the process of buying a sqm plot in Kei mouth. It will be a home build. I want to build 4mwide and 18m long so I can later device into 4 rooms. I want to build on poles one level up, wood, I want a deck on the roof which will have a roof above that, I want the roof to be Bedouin style stretch tent if legal or thatch or fibre cement, nutec ... which ever works out cheaper. I would like the plans to allow for the building up of the ground floor area at a later stage using a natural straw bale building method if possible. The top deck can be flat roof . ... The purpose of my building is to create 4 equal size rooms the two end rooms will have a small staircase leading to the top. I only want one toilet inside the centre to be used by two middle rooms, maybe under a staircase which will also lead upstairs? I am planning to rezone as guesthouse/backpacker, my toilets and showers will be outside. I want to use reclaimed and second hand materials as much as possible, doors I will make myself.
