We want to build a separate flat apart from our house that we want to rent out, we are looking at possibly 2 units. The space to build on is 7.5x5 meters and the units that we want to build has to be approx 3.75x5 in size. We also have a bit of a parking issue, therefore I want to find a solution for this as well. I also want to add a staircase.
I am looking to remodel my home. I am looking for an open plan style and to extend the house.
I want a modern design for 2 bedroom flat
5 bedroom, open plan house outside cladding.
The remodel is meant to bring the outdoors indoors, optimising one side of the house for indoor gardening and incorporating a courtyard of sorts. At the same time, airflow and transparency (especially in the roof design) will have to be considered so the house (double-story) doesn't become a sauna. I already know what I want the finished product to look like. I prefer email communication, as due to my line of work, I'm often unable to take personal phone calls.
