what do you think of my new plan?

8 years ago

Do you like my plan? I would value peoples opinions please!

The room marked “family” is the extension part of the plan.

I was going to put the kitchen in there, but after getting it drawn up on CAD, I don’t think it’s the best use of space. There would be a lot of ‘dead’ space, but not enough for a sofa & tv.

So the new idea is to have the kitchen in the middle of the house. The family room will have a roof lantern and almost full width bi-folds and is south west facing so will get a LOT of light from late morning till sunset. I’m hoping this will be enough to flood the kitchen with lots of light.

Also, rooms 1 and 2 … one room will be a downstairs shower room / toilet and the other a utility room. Doors as shown are not fixed in stone, and can be changed.

Which would you locate where, and why?

Any other considerations?

I would put the utility room off the garage (2) and the downstairs shower room/toilet in room 1, so that it can be used without having to go through the kitchen/family room. I would remove the door to the family room and have only one door.

I'd say the same as Carolina.

Hi Jonathandb1972, many thanks for your comments. We considered a few different options for the roof ... in the picture below is that what you mean by roof hip? I agree, there is a lot of glass in the formal lounge. This side of the house gets sun most of the day, so we're a bit torn as to whether to let the sun in or make it cosy. Maybe we need to compromise and put in standard windows rather than full height. Will have a think about that one ... Once again, many thanks for your input.

The large flowered design reminds me of a 70s print which is not my thing but I imagine its on trend. I particularly like the ferns and think the upside down comment is missing the fact that this is not available elsewhere so it is not another me too. Perhaps this paper could be available in other colours- a darker grey, citrine, olive and vanilla.

Hello GHS Special Projects, Having a range of lighting that can be customised to suit the intended scheme could be rather appealing for some of your clients.. Whether to blend with the walls or finished to a lustre that enhances the aesthetic, so they become a focal point.. Thus tapping into the bespoke market, where people can take home something unique as it were. I might say the latter 3 would have wider appeal for your clients for residential projects.. The tea cup would be good in a commercial setting for cafe, coffee bars and so forth.. :))

I don't really understand the "walk through cupboard into larder space". The plan just shows storage either side, would you not be better just having a wide larder unit? Agree with Jonathan re range and integrating fridge. Only on the assumption you won't be using both dishwashers at the same time, I might swap the one in the corner with the bin (so you're not dripping mess on the floor and DW's in corners are trickier as you can only stand to one side to stack etc) and move the other DW to the island but also swap the side of the drawers. It would be a major trip hazard though if you do use at the same time :) Given you have 2 DW's do you need an extra fridge in the utility? something like Little Greene French grey/pale may work for units, which is a Victorian paint colour. You could have oak on the island although it's obviously not as practical as Quartz etc. i think a butlers sink would also be more in keeping?

Hi. I recognised the floor plan so looked at your previous posts. You mention converting the garage to a spare room so it might make sense to have room 2 as the shower room but where are the utilities as they can be costly to move? I can also see another post mentioning an extension of 6x4, is that correct? It would help if you could add measurements of all rooms (you can’t read anything on the one posted) and an upstairs plan. I think finally more details are needed. How many are in your family, are you keen cooks? If you have children, what age etc. Do they need a study area? What music do you play? Do you entertain, if so how many etc. Personally I’d put the kitchen and dining out the back, with utility cupboards in room 1 keeping a door to the kitchen so you can see from the front door to the garden. Kitchen on left wall with a peninsula in front with a floor to ceiling window in between the units and dining on the rhs. Having said that I’m useless at planning so I’d engage OnePlan to look at the entire floor space, a little money spent now could avoid costly mistakes and have a home that works for you!

what do you think of my new plan?
