    You have a nice lot of rooms to work with, which side of the big house faces North ?

      The right hand side, with no veranda, faces North.

      bugga...would have been nice if it was the big veranda, with the kitchen,living and lounge...never mind, at least you have one end facing North, which will be wonderful to get the Winter sun and protect you from the nasty cold Westerlies.

    There's a house in my area that is from the 1920's. Really cool. I wish I could share it with you guys. A picture I mean.

    Our old place, circa 1910, started out like the small house but was added on to in dribs and drabs so it has an interesting floorplan now.

    The architect you're looking to get must be someone who really knows what he's doing. Aside from his technical expertise in terms of providing you with sketches and diagrams, he also has to have a creative eye so your house will not only be efficiently designed but should also be aesthetically sound. He has to be able to transform your ideas on paper.
