Spacing Planning

10 years ago

This is such an outstanding remodel! It truly brings this house back into date. I can clearly see how the old side of the house could become the kids wing and how above the garage could be a master suite, but I was wondering what was in the middle. Is there a floor to ceiling window between the two sides? Is the master side accessible from a separate staircase? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your kind words. You are correct that the existing bedroom wing on the right remained as bedrooms for the kids. However, in this plan, the master suite was placed in the middle bay, over the existing kitchen/family room. Over the garage, we created an upstairs living room, with gas fireplace, TV area, and bathroom. It could be used as a large guest suite. The windows you see over the front porch are in the gallery/hallway that runs in front of the master suite, connecting the bedroom wing with the new upstairs living room. The existing set of stairs still serves the levels, but we added a back staircase for better flow.

Is it possible to get the floor plan of this house? To get a better idea of how you laid it out? We have a current split level with 3bedrooms and 4 children And absolutely love your design.

Instead of looking at it like a tv problem I would look it like A wall problem. Ask yourself What do want to feel when I look at that space? Do i want to feel calm? Thought provoked? Homely and catch up with the outside world(hence TV) Personally I would make it a feature wall and hang some thought provoking art. Something that gets your quests talking every time they are in the kitchen.

I completely agree with OnePlan. Take your time. Don't settle for less (unless your budget really doesn't allow..). I sell and design kitchens and my boss pays me per hour, not commission. And everyone gets the same lowest possible price. People can come back time and time again, until their kitchen fits their needs perfectly. I hear plenty of stories on people being pushed into a signature or lured in with discounts. Or salesmen without any technical insight/background. Or designers not really listening to someone's needs/wants. It saddens me. A kitchen is not a car you can trade in after a year or so. Always look for something you can live with for 10 years plus (and longer). Your workspace would ideally be 80cm (minimum), that means the area inbetween sink and hob. Every other bit of surface can be used to place other items, make a drink, etc. When you regularly work with two people you could downsize the tall cabinet left of the ovens to a 30cm pullout larder, so a 90cm drawer cabinet could go next to it (for example).

We cannot publish the floor plans, because they are trademarked creative instruments. However, you can purchase a set of the schematic plans. If you are interested, please contact us at info@redhousearch.com
