Hey

As an owner of a new building company in WA, i have found that open plan homes are very popular and create an excellnt living area for all the family to relax etc.

Personally i think that open plan living cant be beat, but maybe you should go see display homes in your local area and check the homes section in your local paper to see whats being offered by all the building companies around. They generally give the public exactly what they want, as they spend endless hours researching!

It depends really whether you want to sell or not also, as maybe potential buyers in general might be after something totally different to you.

Hope this helps… good luck with whatever you do!!

cheers

Lyndon
