turboT Posted 12April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2017 site visit yesterday 5 weeks before settling on the property and moving in. Down to one garage space until we start construction. Coming from the UK the existing building has a certain 'council estate' aesthetic to it.

Grim industrial has made its way from uber trendy places like Birmingham & Berlin to developing cities all over the world.Or , you could get a few carjackers together and get the facade painted for that gritty urban look. Suit the car perfectly And bespoke.As long as the wife is involved , no dramas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 12April, 2017 Report Share Posted 12April, 2017 agree. reminds me of this haha!http://www.betootaadvocate.com/uncategorized/majority-brisbane-architects-found-legally-blind/Agree. we decided to get cheapBig & cheap is always ugly. Building a box is not thinking outside the square , and similar powerpoint dot point statements.Put the cars on the top storey . a nice Mr Bueller approach to enjoying the cars and the view simultaneously.

Mike-S Posted 13April, 2017 Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 Must admit, first time I saw the photos of the house I immediately thought "looks just like the old Moss Side council estate housing in Manchester I used to drive past everyday" but decided to keep that thought to myself.Much like said council estate, you're doing the right thing and knocking it down ?

turboT Posted 14April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 Finally got a chance to meet with my Architect again today. 30mins and a couple of beers and we recon we might have figured out how to give OTLW a view of the OCEAN. One advantage of a really steep block is you have a load of air space to fill. Hoping to get some initial 3d renders back tonight. Been checking out this guy (kornbrownhouses) alot on INSTA. Very talented architect in Thailand who knows how to display a Porsche Mike-S, LeeM, Cars And Coffee Byron Bay and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 14April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 Still early renders. We are still trying to gauge how far we can go and are already looking at how much further we can set down the building to avoid too much flack from the neighbors, but lovin the parking spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cars And Coffee Byron Bay Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 Is the lady pointing to that space and saying "Why not park the car there ?" ps.

vl gra Posted 14April, 2017 Report Share Posted 14April, 2017 All the best with this project Tom. I am going through all this at the moment and we have had 8 different neighbours put rejections into council about our plans. Council has agreed nothing wrong with our plans so now just waiting to see if the neighbours are going to take us to Vcat. Soaks up a lot of waisted time. I hope you have better luck than me!!! turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have better luck than me!!!went through the same on my last build. Expecting a lot of flack but as long as we know which rules to bend council, we are hoping,will be ok. I found an old council DA submission on one of our immediate neighbours the other day - they had 35 objections and that was back in 2002 so pre a lot of online stuff. Fully expecting to be setting new records in this department.. sandy468 and vl gra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin Posted 15April, 2017 Report Share Posted 15April, 2017 I'm sure lots of folks have seen this but thought I would post it... i dunno how this guy gets any work done but like the shared living areas with couch facing the car and work station behind. Great lighting too. Something like this could work in the above render if the central wall wasn't there... just a thought :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 15April, 2017 Report Share Posted 15April, 2017 Would rather have a garage I can actually work on my car thanks. A tilt ramp to roll it out? 'Thunderbirrrrrds are go!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the owner has other cars elsewhere in the house for daily duties etc where he could also work on things too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
