Floorplan - advice on size of kitchen dining living
Comments (9)what a beautiful house, could you look at using sliding glass doors/louvered panels etc on the alfresco area to close it off during winter, it is Melbourne, this would enable you to use this space all year and would enlarge your space for entertaining, might have to re think doors though. I would have a door/s off the kitchen and not windows Tiled step over to shower needs to be removed to make the floor all the same level. The high ceilings are a great advantage adding to a feeling of space. The large dark sideboard in the entrance makes that space look smaller, so you will be able to improve on that Absolutely love the flooring We have friends who had one dining table and chairs which they moved between the indoor dining and the alfresco area, depends how formal you want to be, this allowed for more indoor space when needed. Bear Gully Coastal Cottages Victoria. Remembering parties we have had in an open plan design, everyone ends up hanging out around the kitchen, if you had an open fire it would be there. Perhaps move the study upstairs As the following idea, knowing that there are load bearing issues to address...See MoreCan I use existing al-fresco site as kitchen/dining extension?
Comments (7)The structure to the viewer's left is the alfresco area with the main house attatched to the right. Hopefully this gives you a sense of the space internally. The french doors to the viewer's right lead onto the alfresco area. Ideally, I would like to convert the existing front living into a bedroom, with an enterance hallway leading to the open concept living (current kitchen/dining in photo) with large new kitchen/dining in alfresco. It would require removing the current wall with french doors etc....so engineering of this will be needed. And finally, this is the view into the space from the back yard. The timber structure to the viewer's right, is the existing main living/retreat area. Hopefully, this helps!...See MoreOpen plan kitchen, living, dining advice
Comments (17)it's a very strange plan for a new build but of course we're used to looking at Australian plans...who will use the downstairs bathroom and three living areas and how many will live in the house and do you expect to have long stay guests? is there an upstairs bathroom you'll be sorry if there isn't.....do you have no neighbours and great views in every direction?..what is the distance from the outside walls to the boundaries....i suggest that you need to spend more time thinking about how you'll live in the house before choosing windows..if you enlarge the plan and make some cut out scale sized furniture you can trial different ways that furniture and kitchen cabinets can be placed in the rooms and make sure that you allow at least 1m pathways around the furniture..even if you have to pay for local authorities to reconsider the plans it's very important to make sure that you have the best possible arrangements..it costs no different to build a better plan and you'll enjoy the benefits for the lifetime of the house...can you repost the plans with dimensions clearly shown and also add a copy of the upstairs and you should receive lots of great ideas and i'll also redraw some ideas to consider...See MoreOpen living/kitchen/dining extension help
Comments (3)the door between the kitchen and pantry looks uncomfortable can you post a bigger plan showing all the garage (where is the driveway, entry paths and backyard?) and identify what's original and what's proposed and/or post a plan of the original house and a google earth views of the roof...See Morelove_tiessa
