Need help with the second floor plan for my barn style Newbuild
Comments (9)For some reason I read this as a barn conversion hence asking for the footprint! I don't know the answer to this hence asking but have you researched whether having a slightly smaller 1st floor will result in significant savings? Maybe it's an idea to have plan a and b when you talk to the company. Just a thought anyway as it would be nice to have an en suite etc with all those grandchildren. Will also help with resale unless this is your forever home. Thanks so the mudroom is 4'5. I thought the plan showed 14'5 hence why I asked initially, probably my eyes! My initial thoughts for the stairs were in the playroom ( or the mudroom if it were 14'). I don't know if there are any fire regulations stipulating that the doors need to be within x feet of stairs. I'll see if I can take a look anyway as I'm just guessing...See MoreHome layout dilema after plans approved for extension into barn
Comments (28)Hi Minnie, Thanks for this. You've had some serious thought into my predicament. There is a scale on the drawing but for you its approx 12m x 5.8 (external of the barn unit excluding 'link) but walls are quite thick. I do like your idea and think modern living, which i like tends to focus round a kitchen dining living space which doing what you say would achieve. I think I'm going to have to sketch up your ideas too and see which would practically be the better choice. We've probably spent most of our time obsessing over a really nice master, when actually you spend little time in it... well little time awake. so does it need to be so big. Id hoped to actually create a similar kitchen dining experience by removing the wall between the kitchen and living room to crate a bigger room. This would enable a small island and allow space for a dining table in the current front room and replacing the windows on the kitchen facing the garden with a more modern 'letterbox' picture postcard window to draw in the view. It was also my concern that creating this kitchen / dining in the barn would negate the need to use the original house as all family time would realistically be spend on the ground foor of the barn / bedrooms above. For what essentially is a compromise to what we had originally submitted to planning, i don't want to create anything that means the house becomes the subordinate or poorer relation to the new. It should flow and be part of the whole. I think if we went with the kitchen in barn (as awesome as it would be) wed just may as well not build the link and make a separate house minus your boot room of course. This would maximise our investment but I'm not a developer, Money is not the driver....See MoreSliding barn door
Comments (0)im struggling with lack of space in my hallway and am thinking of changing living room door to sliding. I have enough space on the wall for the door to slide onto but doorway is almost flush with the corner wall. My question is, how much space there need to be on the sliding kit ? can this kit finish flush with doorway and wall and still work? please help...See MoreIs An Open Plan Kitchen Still A Good Idea?
Comments (6)We love open plan kitchens, with soft seating areas and dining all in the same room. You do have to just think about the kitchen style. We have found that the 'Gloss' kitchen is not as popular in this scenario. As when you are sitting on the soft seating area, you don;t want to feel like your sitting in a glossy kitchen. The trend is definitely more mat laminates and matt lacquered doors when you do this. The kitchen then blends in more as 'furniture' then a kitchen. Another trend that we are seeing more and more of is, half height divides. Either from mid-height studwalls or from cleverly designed units/banquette seating from the kitchen. It breaks the vast space up and creates pockets of space. Hope this was useful. Thanks Paul Alexander Kitchens...See More
