Custom 2 storey corner block house project 550m2
Budget: $25 – $50 AUD
Hi,
I am Tapan Patel. I am a civil engineer and I work as project management consultant, WFH in Brisbane Australia.
I am building my new Family home in Mansfield, Brisbane, Australia. After Listening to family requirements and using my own concept for my dream home, I "tried" to prepare a simple schematic design on AutoCAD. Family approved inital draft So, I completed a draft Ground floor design and hired a local licenced architect to work on my concept finalise final drawings as per council requirement.
Once I received the drawings set from him, I found myself disappointed in my own design. I found façade very ordinary and missing character and artistic build up, for a corner block home. The local architect cannot assist with interior designing or landscape design ideas. His attempt is to propose what I thought of that is in accordance with council regulation. Fair enough but I am looking for a stroke of brilliance who can do better than what I did myself.
I need someone who can prepare an entire new house design in within setback margins the block has including, Use of existing ground contour smartly in landscaping , (the ground slopes 1.5m from back corner to street corner) so that We can get, Fantastic looking corner home with swimming pool, alfresco dining area, campfire seating arrangement, dedicated kids play area, clothes rack to dry them out, small garden, artificial lawn and a house wall where we can watch movie on projector while swimming/dining outdoor/camp firing in winter.
I also am after an interior design, once architectural is finalised.
And also 3D studio/visual tour of different stages of finalised work.
Since I know a bit of AutoCAD and have higher sense of understanding drawings, I can minimise your efforts (I did not say hours, but efforts in those hours) can give feedback very quickly rather than making you wait for an answer.
I am looking for someone with a good experience of doing such a project before.
See my current concept drawing .
Here are my basic needs.
Ground Floor
- living room/drawing room (Good size where I can fit 4 x 2.1m long x 0.9m wide Sofa/day bed type couch), TV size is 100", well lit, and has direct access to alfresco)
- Office room (I do not have employees, nor I invite others to visit me in office too frequently. But I need larger desk for myself , A3 stand alone printer, a water fountain, access to nearest toilet, and additional 2 chair and desk space other than mine)
- pooja room (Doesn't have to be a room but a location for having a temple arrangement which can be accessed standing)
Kitchen with butler pantry (We are foodies and Wife wants as much as possible but reasonable cooking space. We have 2 double door fridges requirement + 2 wash basin - 1 for regular utensils and 1 for larger one)
Dining space to fit 2.4m x 1m wide table - 8 seats max - Double height
Laundry - separate access to clothes rack zone on wall
Staircase
-Bedroom 1 (Parents room with attached bath toilet + WIR (Walk in rob)
-Bedroom 2 (Day room for activities /kids studies /Max 30 minutes of a retreat room). (This doesn't have to be a room, a secluded space is also enough), However, it Must have Less walking access towards attached bath of bedroom 1
-Common toilet with wash basin. Close to dining space area
First Floor
Largest possible master bedroom with walk in rob and stylish bathroom and balcony
2 large size bedroom - identical - with ensuit bath and toilet
Rumpus room / common hall with normal couch arrangements with balcony
Guest bed Room
Common toilet
If you think, you can accept this job pronto, please send me your expression of interest with a concept sketch plan (I understand sketches as well).
Your complete break up of fees for each service. House plan, façade, exterior/landscape design, interior designing.
Construction must have to be commenced by February and approval of final design takes 4-6 weeks with council.
I look forward working with you.
Regards
Tapan Patel
