Floor-plan feedback/ideas needed -What do you think of this floor-plan
Comments (51)siriuskey, Yes, the courtyard is open to the sky (no roof over it), I assume this is what you mean by double story. Ref. below photos, I would love to get this look, especially the first and last photo, where you can see family living space from the first floor. I can't achieve this in my plan as it eats a lot of floor space upstairs. The referred plan (photos) has a very big void combining staircase, hallway and dining area. I know it is not easy with cooling and heating when you have such a big void. So, I explored a few ideas (with my limited knowledge on this topic) before achieving the current floorplan. I have also thought about, in my current plan, extending the void on the staircase to the dining area (it is more like L shape) but i wasn't sure if that makes any difference. keen to hear your thoughts....See MoreFinal Floor Plan Feedback pls
Comments (14)unable to read all the dimensions my suggestions have simplified the shape of the building and based on estimated room sizes are aimed at improving comfort by separating some areas (eg study and lounge) for quiet activities and if you added furniture to suit your lifestyle and activities (eg not sure how you would want to furnish the cinema and bar) would help you to ensure rooms are the best size and shape (eg downstairs bedroom could be used for a guest room so i've included private access to the bathroom)..the zen room could be included with the master suite by moving the doors across the upstairs hallway...the rearranged cloak room to better suit the likely easy walking path from car inside with groceries and the powder room more likely used from the study and lounge when there's an extra bathroom at the back of the house.....luckily you have ideal north facing main rooms but, unless there are great views i would be cautious about balconies and wide expanses of glass to the east or west (or consider external sun screens) and depending on budget there would be lots of option to reduce the overall size without changing the basic floorplan...See MoreFloor plan feedback - kitchen island closed or walk around?
Comments (12)Addressing the question you asked, we are currently doing a very similar layout where we have a long galley kitchen with the WIP at the end, and we are having an island rather than a peninsula. We don't have the office space off that that you are dealing with. We considered making the island longer into a peninsula to address an issue with our electrics (finding somewhere to put the switchboard), but in the end elected to keep it as an island so there was more than one way to get to the pantry. I would keep the island layout as otherwise if someone is cooking, anyone who wants to get to the pantry or the study will need to walk past the working area of the kitchen. I like @dreamer's idea of making the pantry bigger backing into the powder room, but that assume you have somewhere else to put the linen cupboard (upstairs maybe?). Are you having a stand-alone stove, or is the oven going under the cooktop? It isn't shown in the renderings. I only ask as it appears you have limited storage in the kitchen if you are losing the space under the cooktop, so will you have enough space for all your kitchen stuff?...See MoreFloor plan feedback please!
Comments (20)To oklouise: what do you love about this design?...it's a very big house for two people..do you have specific purposes for the extra bedrooms: We love all the space! Our current home is so small and a little dark. One bedroom will be a study, one will be a hobby room, one will be a guest room. and could the media and games or family rooms and/or laundry and pantry be combined to reduce the overall size of the house for extra backyard and/or better quality finishes?.. but what is the width and length of your block? Our block is 20m wide and 34 deep. Extra backyard space is not that important to us. The separate games room is important to us as my partner likes to play boardgames with our friends. I don’t always play so having a separate space (like the theatre) I can retreat to at those times is important. I like some of your ideas on your version of the floor plan. Thank you for taking the time to draw it. I particularly like the master set up and the addition of a mud room. Great ideas! I will study it some more and show my partner....See MoreFi
