Ground floor layout... Help!!
Comments (3)I would say you need professional help to concept plan here. The flow of life and activity, that is the dynamics of family life are the core of concept design. Their plans then are worked up to create the structure of how the concept is interpreted in your building by the architect. Oneplan can create this for you working at an hourly rate and is very affordable. Their help complements the architect, they can help you clarify your own requests in terms of the space and even let you know a good place for the Christmas tree. I have implemented their designs of my living space and managed a giant party yesterday which flowed beautifully....See MoreGround Floor Layout help.

Comments (19)We did love some of the suggestions above… but stuck with our original plan! Although we did change the kitchen layout from U-shaped to ”farmhouse” style, with the table in the middle and sink under the window overlooking the garden. The old dining room has become an office with two desks - partly due to COVID and the need to work from home and homeschool etc! We have also moved a lot of the children’s toy storage in here although they still bring things into the main lounge to play where there’s more room. At 8 and 5, they also actually now keep and play with a lot of toys in their rooms, so I think the old dining room will remain as more of a computer and homework room - it’s nice being able to shut the door! The ”study” on the plan is very much a workshop/gym/play room for my husband! We didnt want to sacrifice that space. It might turn into a teenage den later on perhaps, or even a downstairs bedroom for my Nan. The small upstairs bedroom has become a second office as I’m also still working from home (and my husband has too many meetings downstairs!). It houses our sofa bed too so acts as a spare room and my space to do yoga and sewing. Overall, we are pleased with how everything turned out. We quite like the option to have space away from each other and the flexibility to change the use of the different rooms. We do all spend a lot time together in either the kitchen or main lounge as plenty of space in both....See MoreGround floor layout help please!
Comments (3)If the house is small, there is not much you can do. Other than adding an extension to the rear and creating an open plan kicthen / dining room with a small seatign area. One house i recently designed....See MoreEmily
6 years agoNot sure it’s a good idea but since I’ve hand drawn in I thought I’d post since it might trigger better ideas. :)

6 years agoI changed u shape kitchen to peninsula with half depth storage on other side with glazed external door instead of window. And just thought I’d post pics of a four chair sitting area just because I think they are so sociable as well as looking good. But I’m just sat down waiting for something and distracting myself in Houzz! So maybe not what you wanted just what I would do :)

6 years agoI think the illustration is to scale.
As far as converting the garage- This works better when the original garage is next to the hallway. Plus your wish list is about getting bigger spaces and a garage will always have the width limitation making it better converted into a study or utility room which would both eat into the budget for what you really want.
Lastly I think it is important to keep a garage if you can.

6 years agoHey Neil,
Hello and thank you for contacting us with your layout reuirements
Seems like you already have a few nice ideas... Here's my suggestion (see sketch attached)
Coming into the hallway we extended the WC to add a shower area, from this we placed a set of two sliding doors to create a sense of arrival when you go into the lounge and dining area but also to have some privacy from the rest of the house.
We extended the kitchen to include some of the walkway space in the form of the island unit with chairs around to serve as entertaining area or breakfast bar as well as serving counter when having dinner parties. This is complimented by full length storage against the far wall leading up to the new bi-fold doors.
With the garage broken through you now have a open space that allows for a lounge dining arrangement that could be any side of the fire so you have a bit of freedom to move here. We akso indicated a possible office or utility room on the corner behind the garage which might be something to consider for a future extension.
If you need further assistance - please let me know. You can reach out through our site - www.betterspace.co. I'd be happy to help you further.
Good luck!
