Floor plan redesign ideas for G.F of my semi-detached Victorian home?
Comments (19)Hi Kate. We have three children under 8 so are in a similar position to you. If it was my house I would..... In response to your first question, a 33ft x 14ft open plan room would not necessarily be too big, but it would leave you without a downstairs utility or WC. As tamp75 has commented, a hallway is good for isolating noise to upstairs bedrooms, and you need somewhere for coats, bags, shoes etc. With three storeys, having the kitchen open to the hall may create problems with building regulations (fire safety). I'm not an expert in this area but it should be considered. 2. I would definitely reposition the cloakroom. It looks like the drainage to your house will be on the right hand side of the plan, so I would not put the WC under the stairs. Something like Jonathan's second suggestion would work well. 3. I would create a utility room, but only a small one. Large enough to hold a washing machine and tumble drier (stacked to save space), sink and some storage. If you can get hold of a copy of George Clarke's Home Bible he has a whole chapter devoted to utility rooms - it is well worth a read. 4. I would reconfigure the property in a similar manner to Jonathan's second suggestion. The only minor changes would be to move shorten the hall slightly by bringing the entrance to the kitchen level with the stairs, and possibly reconfigure the area for utility/WC/cloaks. I recommend retaining the first floor living room as it stops the house feeling too 'top heavy' and could be a really good family space. 5. It's hard to answer this without knowing more about you. I think it might be possible to have a kitchen, seating area and dining area but I suspect that you might have to make some compromises. You have the potential to create two lounges elsewhere in the house, so I would compromise on the seating area. Given the scale of this project I would take my time to consider all of the options. I think it is definitely worth spending a few £100s on a concept planner as they could save you £1000s in the long run. Good luck....See MoreHouse Floor Plan Design Dilemma.
Comments (7)As a vague vision, (can help on detail if you think ok In principle) Ideally I’d reclaim the annexe for play/music/ kids room and annexe bed add ensuite as use for students. Turn cloak room to downstairs loo access from hall. current student bed into cloak/boots storage and utility. Open up current utility to access new cloak room and if you need extra kitchen space could put larder where wash machine etc is at moment, I would avoid too much wall movement as expensive assuming you need to save the money for new chalet in garden (friend achieved chalet style for around £65-70k). If you have budget I would certainly extend upstairs one side of house to make use of eades and up to full height so you could have as a minimum bunk bed arrangement or 2beds depending ages of your children. Pending budget could look into whether can get another bedroom up there. Obviously this is just a vision would need more detail to confirm, hope you can see mark up on plan attached...See MoreNew home - open plan top floor & terrace
Comments (5)Can you move the kitchenette? Personally I would be tucking it away on the left of the plan if possible, rather than having it facing you as you come up the stairs and also using the prime sitting area facing the terrace. It may be tricky to move it though due to plumbing. If you can’t move the kitchenette then you could ideally use some clever joinery to hide it inside full height cupboards so it can be hidden when not it use. Remember to allow storage space for any outdoor furniture cushions - these can take up a lot of space if you want a comfy outdoor sofa (which I would recommend!) It would make sense to have the TV area in the bottom left hand corner where you don’t have views. I can’t see any tv sockets on the plan, where are they and are these moveable or not? How about: TV area bottom left. Reading armchair(s) bottom right. Then small table and chairs by the kitchenette so you can sit with a coffee and enjoy the view. I would put a full wall of storage along the right hand wall, this would include kitchenette (ideally hidden behind doors), cushion storage and some open shelves for books decoration etc....See MoreHelp with floor plan in a narrow Edwardian house
Comments (9)I like the second plan better but not sure the nook thing would be worth it just to get light into a utility room (if that was the intended use). Back door useful though. Architect - I was expecting mine to give me great ideas that I hadn't thought of myself. This wasn't my experience and others I have spoken with have said similar. Maybe I have watched too many TV makeovers and my expectations were too high. For me the architect was useful for telling me what I couldn't and couldn't do and what would add significant cost. I'm happy with my final design but I pretty much designed it myself (and changed it halfway though construction!). Maybe I would have had a different experience with a better architect.
