Building is in the blood

This is my sisters house. She is building too! She doesn’t live in the same town as me, so over Easter I got a chance to take some photos of her house in progress. Isn’t it just gorgeous??

She has a huge block of land and the house is sprawling over it. She has a big verandah yet to go on these front shots of the house.

Our houses are about the same size, but obviously different layouts. Hers is wide from the front and mine is long a skinny (to suit our blocks). Plus her budget was greater than mine haha!




Freestanding garage where you walk from it under the little awning into the laundry (side access).

Ceiling in the entrance. Wait until I show you in the coming months what she has going here!


This photo above is her formal lounge room and she has a fireplace going in.

Cut-out from the study into the kids playroom.

Kitchen/Meals area.

Kitchen above again from another angle.
Out the back. Those doors above are into their master bedroom. There will be a cute courtyard just outside. Her husband is a concreter, so they will have the most awesome outdoor spaces!
Family and Meals leading outside onto their entertaining area. She is doing something good with those big columns, but I forgot what haha. I will have to ask her.

Hope you enjoyed the tour. I will add more pictures as her journey continues.

    Her house sort of ticks all my Boxes.
    I have similar land shape too.
    I love the idea of the pass thru from laundry to Carport and the cut out formkids playroom into study…Though my kids are soooo noisy I would'nt get much "study" acheived.

    I think my budget may have been abit different to hers too…Sob,sob!

    OMG that house is amazing!
    You have me intrigued with what's going up on/in the ceiling of the entrance. Can't wait to see.
    You girls obviously have the knack for great design.
