Good morning dear contest holder!!...
I like contests because it is a way to demonstrate the skills we have, but I think that what you are asking is too big for the amount of money you offer, and that ends up demotivating to the contestant, or worse, causing them to place entries that have nothing to do with what you are looking for and end up disappointing both parties! Fortunately, a few years ago I carried out a project similar to the one you require. I have made several changes to adjust it to your requirements. I hope you like it. If you want to make changes to it, please let me know! I will be happy to assist you. !.. we are a team of architects and engineers in charge of doing the kind of work that you are requiring!.. we are PRODECIV
Cheers!..

Hello! A pleasure to participate in this contest. I would like to know if I understood correctly what you need regarding toilets and bathrooms. Of the 4 master bedrooms do you need 2 with an en-suite bathroom and 2 with only a toilet? The 3 guest rooms only have 1 toilet each and then 2 full bathrooms for common use of the house? Thanks!

  Hello. Thanks for your interest and support.
  Of the 7 bedrooms, only 2 will have ensuites. (Master and 1x Guest room)
  The other 2 bathrooms are for common use.
  The Powder room will have another toilet and basin only.
  That is 5 toilets total. 4x showers. 1x Bath tub.

  Hello Sir
  Sorry, the 3D models rejected were misleading because none of them fitted the description criteria in any way. Not did any of those presenters indicate any intention of presenting anything different.

Hello All
Genuine interest and submissions are appreciated.
Some additional comments for the benefit of all:
If you google "Australian classic traditional single-story acreage house plans" or "...House Design", or any selection or combination of those search words you'll see a lot of plans and images like what is required. However, there are very few, if any, that have seven bedrooms, 4+ bathrooms, 4 car garage, and as much living space as is required.

Preferences to note:
- Wide frontage for more street appeal.
- House is expected to take up most of the width across the land (East-West), but leave enough room one side for vehicular access to the back garden.
- Bedrooms separate from main living areas
- Bedrooms and bathrooms don't open directly off living areas
- Back garden/yard to remain as open as possible. Swings and playground would be close to the property boundary rather than in the middle of the grassed area.
