Presentation sheet. A cut away axonometric with the two floors drawn apart, the light living floor lifted clear of the dark working floor below it, every room labelled through. First floor, about 271 m2 — sitting, dining and kitchen along one side, the main suite with its ensuite and walk in wardrobe at the far end, two guest bedrooms and the snug across the front behind the veranda, the family bathroom inboard, and the lift and stair set to one side of the hall. Ground floor, about 271 m2 — a four car garage in two bays of two in line, the boot room and shower on the spine with the lift and stair, the gym and games room on the other side opening under the deck onto the covered terrace with the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, and the plant room behind. The workshop stands separate with its storage loft exploded out above it, a covered link into the garage, and the generator screened beyond. A roof aerial and a dusk rear perspective sit alongside, with key facts and a materials key for charred timber, pale cladding, standing seam roof, timber decking and exposed steel.

The notes

rendered

Seven drawings, built as line work rather than rendered: a site plan, both floor plans, and the four elevations. They were how the scheme was argued before it was ever shown — a plot boundary, a lane, a drive, and rooms with dimensions against them.

The presentation sheets that replaced them carry more: an axonometric with the two floors drawn apart, an aerial, a dusk perspective, a materials key, and the workshop elevations the line drawings never had. That is the reason for the swap, and on almost everything the two sets agree — 271 m2 a floor, three metres clear downstairs, eaves at 6.3 m, ridge at 9.1 m.

They disagree on the compass, and these drawings are the ones that are right. The lane and the yard are to the south east, the garden is west and south, and the front garden, the porch and the veranda face north — which is why the garage doors face north and the whole rear elevation looks over garden. The sheets reverse it, so the faces they caption north and south are each other's. Until the sheets are relabelled, the orientation of record is here.
