Where should we place the Kitchen in this vast space?
Design Dilemma on the Greek Villa Renovation! The ground floor space is very big.. and high (4.2m). As it is currently a blank page, we have many options for placement of the kitchen. Attached are views with one option. I wonder if there are better ideas out there with all the creative minds on this site! The Orange circle represents the open plan space on the 2D plan (internal walls currently lining the hallway will be removed)

Where should we place spots/recessed lights in our kitchen?
Comments (2)Steering away from the lighting issue and back to the kitchen design, is that a washing machine positioned in the corner? If so how will you access it?...See MoreShould we knock through from dining to kitchen?
Comments (13)Thanks Jonathan. That's definitely one of the options for the long term as we are planning on extending into the loft to move guest or master there. We are thinking about extending to the side of the kitchen (to the left) and incorporate the back reception room so that the open plan kitchen/dining/lounge is L-shaped. And then we could have the existing dining/breakfast room as really nice laundry/mudroom/dogroom with the back door into there. Alternatively, keep the back reception as it is (formal dining or separate lounge for growing kids), keep the dining in the breakfast room and extend out to the right to make kitchen a little bit bigger (big enough for island between galley sides), big glass doors to garden, etc - but also add on space to the right to make separate laundry/mudroom/back entrance. Above that we'd put ensuite and walk-in closet onto current master. And this is why I don't know what to do with the current 'temporary' kitchen solution - in all likelihood it will be there fore 3-5 years, so don't want it to be just thrown up without thinking about it, but I also don't want to have to re-do work later, and I especially don't want to take down period features and ruin room proportions for a 'temporary' fix. And of course we need to know what we want to do before we can get the electrician round to re-wire the house, so it's not something I can consider for too much longer......See MoreRenovated kitchen, what floor should we have?
Comments (13)I agree vinyl flooring would be better. The variation in designs, textures and colours now is vast, some you cannot tell from the real thing, but unlike the real thing is warmer and easier to take care off. I had some fitted recently that was grass effect my customer loved it and the cost was very reasonable. Look out on the web for some unusual vinyl designs, to add a unique /designer feel to your room. High street carpet shops only seem to stock standard (boring) designs that are 'popular' , be adventurous ' it's only flooring' You will be amazed at the choice available on line...See MoreKITCHEN EXTENSION - where would you place the kitchen cabinets/island?
Comments (4)Do you require two doors into the kitchen/living space? If possible I would look at the options of removing the door on the right and moving the other door to left to line up with the front door in the hallway. It looks like you could pottentially gain a fair amoutn of space if this is possible....See MorePat Auld

Renovation of a house for private residence or is it a mini-hotel?
I would put in that place. There is a way out.
And the main space can be given to different entertainment zones .
