House Plans

The block of land we bought is a battle axe block.  It is called such because of the shape of the block - notice the handle (driveway) then the block forms somewhat of the head of the axe.  From the road, I have a long driveway before it reaches our land.  It is very common in the area where big blocks of land (bigger than 1000sqm) is subdivided by the current owner to be able to sell it.   The house in blue is an existing house in front of our block. 

While the waiting game is over and I am in the mood to update the blog.  Here is the a snapshot of how the house will sit on the block of land.  The trees shown there has been cut down and will be replaced by 4 new trees maybe next year.  Since the land is a battle axe block, I needed to provide a turning circle for the vehicle to drive out of the block facing forward.  It will be a split level house with the rear being lower by about 3 steps inside the house.
