E71. What position should my house and rooms go on my block?

Building Design, Prime Time

In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, Frank and Amelia dive into the often-overlooked constraints that can significantly impact your building design and site orientation and what considerations should be made when you are choosing the position of your home on your block as well as the floorplan and where your rooms will be located. Whether it's bushfire zoning, wastewater systems, or stormwater connections, understanding these limitations early on is crucial to creating a functional and compliant home.

Learn how these factors influence everything from where you can place a house on a block to how you access outdoor areas. Through real client stories, Frank and Amelia explore the importance of site analysis and problem-solving, emphasising why working with experienced building designers is essential to navigate these obstacles.

Frank also highlights using practical tools like bubble diagrams, which help plan spatial layouts and ensure your design flows seamlessly while accommodating site constraints.

Tune in to discover how proactive site research and strategic design can help you avoid costly mistakes and achieve a home that perfectly suits your needs and vision. Be sure to subscribe there is a new episode released each week!
