INNENARCHITEKTUR FÜR MODERNES MINIMALISTISCHES HAUS IN AUSTRALIEN

Notes regarding floor plan modification:
(Please see the floor plan / furniture layout and all 3D renderings for reference)

1. Lap swimming pool is relocated to the backyard, facing the waterfront view. We propose to create an open space lounge that seamlessly connected to the backyard, as well as the al fresco and outdoor deck area. After analysing the siteplan and the neighboring area, it seems doable to move the pool to the rear side of the property - closer to the waterfront and create visual infinity of  water element. 
2. We open up the kitchen and dining area, push them to the side, and create a very strong linear layout. Cabinets in kitchen and laundry are forming a linear layout (continuous), so laundry can be a pantry area, like the extended part of the kitchen. Dining is placed adjacent to the kitchen island. While, this layout makes the lounge can have its own territory and become more spacious.
3. We add outdoor shower and outdoor lounge (with day bed) next to al fresco area. We also add a wooden canopy along the rear side of the house,as well as above the outdoor lounge, forming a strong linear 'framed' box around the house, which is for additional shading.
4. We relocate the connection 'hallway' between master bedrooms (the sliding doors between rooms) to the middle. We also relayout the master bath to achieve a simpler and spacious design.
5. We omit powder room-turning it into a storage for media room,and then  add another sliding door to the larger guest bathroom (so this bathroom is not ensuite anymore, but shared). We think that the powder room is an excess feature since there will be only two people living in the house and the guest bath would be under utilized. the guest bathroom now can be shared by anyone - also by the grand daughter who will sleep in the gym room occasionally.
6. Lounge / living room is now much larger and dominating the open space area rather than the kitchen. The composition is also centered - more balanced. There is a wall-hung tv in front of it.

Additional note: we propose to have a wood dining table to reduce glare effect in summer time. But this is optional.

Please let us know if you need further clarification regarding our design proposal. Thank you so much!
