SMALL LOT HOUSE- Affordable house design. This small lot house in BRISBANE is an affordable solution for a 400m2 lot that has the long axis facing north. A 2 storey solution that is essentially 1 room thick to allow great cross ventilation and natural daylight into all rooms. Ply floor and cladding, zincalume custom orb roof. Total floor area 140 m2 including the carport. #biscoewilsonarchitects #affordablehousing
SMALL LOT HOUSE PLANS. If you have a small lot house site ( ie. under 450m2 and 10m frontage) there are good options for plans if the long axis of the land faces north. This provides an opportunity to make a long skinny house with most rooms having a northern aspect. If you can create a plan with north and north east facing courtyards off living spaces it will be an enjoyable place to live. Try to keep the floor area down and use outdoor landscaped spaces. #affordablehousing #biscoewilsonarchitects
Affordable housing design tips. It’s great to have more than 1 bathroom in a house, but multiple bathrooms are expensive. Consider a 3 in 1 bathroom design for starters. tip#2 - put some ply sheeting on the walls before you sheet and tile the walls in the toilet and shower room, so you can screw on safety Grab rails when you get old. Also a good idea to make the doors a bit wider, say 870mm for easy access. A bathroom Fitouts can cost $15,000-$30,000 +the cost of building the room which is another $15,000. #biscoewilsonarchitects
We often have clients asking for advice on selecting a site in Brisbane to build on or to buy an existing house. If you can find a site facing north or north-east and you can put living areas on the north you have half your sustainability problems solved straight away. North -east cooling breezes, gentle sun all year around. This diagram shows some basic passive solar design principles. Sloping sites, views,location of hills, trees, and neighbouring houses all have a bearing. Anyway, hope this is of some use. If you are searching for a good site, get onto google maps and look at the way the site faces. This can save a lot of problems first up. #biscoewilsonarchitects
