Hi everyone, we were hoping to extend out slightly into the garden but planning permission has been denied. Our second option is to use the side space but we would like to retain a light well to allow light into a second bedroom.
Do you think doing this would be worth it? It would add only about 3sq meters to a 70sq m flat. Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks
nb: the attached floorplan is the best I could do with my ipad and the second one is an idea of what I had in mind, although it wouldn't be that big.

Downstairs L shape kitchen diner /poss snug?
Comments (12)Hi, no probs. The thing is with upstairs you are governed by the stairs and the drainage. You can't move either without great expense. To gain more room, better bathroom etc, you would have to sacrifice a bedroom on the right of the plan. Is this an option? The simplest solution is just change the bathroom / toilet and add a shower:- If you need further changes for whatever reason, after all 1 bathroom for four bedrooms isn't a lot, then all I can think of is to split the master in to 2 rooms as it has windows front and back. Then remove the bathroom and make it smaller, giving the bedroom top right a little more room. Make that the master with En-suite and use the bedroom bottom right as the family bathroom. The three smaller bedrooms are an ok size so, in theory could work....See MoreL shaped Garden Design
Comments (2)Love your painted layout. I'd add the gate as you have planned. I'd consider a hard surface close to the front to BBQ (I'm aussie - food just tastes better outside) and dining space or a firepit for cooler weather. A small shed up the back in the shade for your garden tools and wood for firepit? Then it's do you need to block some views from any window? I'd consider your views from your windows as a painting. Some colour and shape, framing the views...See MoreL Shape Extension
Comments (6)Wow youve built an amazing space and can start with blank canvas. I’d be tempted to keep the kitchen to right, in close proximity to the utility. The chimney breast can serve as a feature to be incorporated into the kitchen. See the attached picture below, ignore the aesthetic - whether its contemporary modern or traditional, that will be your personal choice - its just to give you some inspiration. Then i would have a kitchen island running parrallel to the utility wall, which will house the sink, dishwasher etc accessed on the utlility wall side. Then on the other side incorporate a raised breakfast bar. On the right hand side of the room you’ve got room for some relaxed seating, coffee table etc for your morning caffeine hit 😃 cant wait to see the finished pictures, please do post!
