Our Plans



As you know, we are building the Rowland 41 with PD. We actually found out today that we are the first one in production - which may not be a good thing?!?
We have attached copies of our plans to show you a few of the extra options we have gone with:
  • Render to part of front facade
  • Changed stained timber slats on balcony to tiles - no point having the rain come falling through onto the front door
  • Removed study/main bedroom wall to open front room up a bit
  • added door to ensuite toilet
  • chose fully enclosed stairs with storage underneath (couldn't justify the $8K plus for as displayed stairs) but with SS balustrades and wood stained handrails for entire stairwell
  • Butlers kitchen as displayed
  • cupboards above hotplates with enclosed pull out rangehood (had canopy range hood in last home and although it looks terrific, we found it a bugger to keep clean)
  • added doors to theatre room
  • extended laundry benchtop and underbench cupboards, as displayed
  • Alfresco
  • heating vents to laundry, ensuite and bathroom 1 upstairs
  • heating and cooling network controller (part of package)
  • larger unit to handle the extra heating vents
  • upstairs and downstairs zoned controller
  • additional option to preset temperatures on different days at different times
  • double storage cupboard to upstairs games room
  • 2nd bathroom option upstairs (will be useful for guests and the kids when they get older)
  • "Brady Bunch" sliding doors option to upstairs bedroom one

Ilove the changes you've made with the house. I think opening up the master to include the retreat is a great idea. The display is a bit busy/cramped with the study and master. Nice variations too. Your two won't know themselves with all the upstairs room!!! Who is getting the WIR???!!!!

Hi HTB
We love the house too, despite the probs we have had in the last couple of days.
We tossed up quite a bit about removing the wall in the retreat as we use our office quite a bit but agree with you that it removes that cramped feeling.
..and the WIR goes to our daughter of course who cannot wait to move in.
