46. STRUCTURAL ADVICE

• Key structural advice is as follows:
o Windbreak requirements for upstairs
o Load bearing wall behind bar/staircase obstructs our plans (would like
to find solution)
o These structural plans are based on an extension (scope not decided)

47. ARCHITECTURAL BRIEF

We want:
• A two-stage plan (potentially downstairs then upstairs)
• Scope for small extension (downstairs and upstairs)
• Replacement / relocation of pool
• Replacement of existing staircase
• Integrated indoor/outdoor living
• Reconfiguration of floor plan to accommodate:
o Larger bedrooms (min 4 bedrooms)
o Family bathroom potential for 1 family bathrooms and 2 ensuites – or 1 ensuite
adjoining family)
o Open plan living – two separate living spaces
• Moderate budget – requires clever design
• Exterior front wall to block out noise and outline front
boundary
• Striking feature to create standout home
