=== Level 3 ===

Level 3, the living level, is what holds the normal "house" stuff. This level holds the five bedrooms, the lounge/dining (formal) room, the family room, the kitchen, laundy, toilets... it also contains the indoor pool, sauna, one level of the carport/workshop/storage area, and a medatative room. The pool extends down into level4

=== Level 2 ===

The level is sparsely populated, as many of the rooms from level3 are 2story high rooms. (in a fully enclosed house such as this, claustrophobia is a potential problem - large areas such as this try to counter that, to a degree). The pool  area, and past of the family room are 2story high. The formal room is in fact 3 stories. 
There is also a study and library on this level, as well as a "games" room. Bedrooms may also extend up into this level for their own "attic" space or similar. The water tank also is on this level as well as level1. This level has a small workshop/carport area.

=== Level 1 ===

The Formal area extends into this level, as does a small area of the family room. The study and library are both 2 story rooms that extend up into level1. The water tank extends into this level, and there is a large carpark/workshop area. Also, there is a large area devoted to the machinery that runs the house. "pumps, controls, aircon, etc)
