Is that a Dutch door?

last year

It looks as if there are two door knobs and the split between the orange and beige is rather high for seeing over if the top opens separately.

The door is split and the height is based on the second floor of this playhouse

Sadly I have to agree with the comments about the poor energy efficiency standards of new housing in the UK - they're criminally low in the first place and sometimes aren't even adhered to properly, which can make living in them expensive, miserable and unhealthy. Historically energy conservation hasn't been an issue as so much of our housing, particularly social/council housing, was built decades ago when energy was plentiful and cheap and hardlly anyone thought about the effect on the planet. On the other hand, the UK has a rich architectural heritage which comes in part from the mix of housing and thanks to the efforts of the conservation movements which arose from the threat of bombing in the C20th wars and then the possibly even worse vandalism of the 1960s town planners! Reading and Glasgow suffered terribly at the hands of the planners but happily now many - though far from all - historic buildings across the country are loved and protected. We're fortunate in the UK not to have a mindset of 'new is better' so bulldoze the old, but there's always a place for innovation and making old houses comfortable and efficient places to live in in the C21st. *gets off soap box*

Carolina: just seen your window treatment photo- it didn't come up on my phone for some reason. I do like those half shutters in the bay window. Not so keen on the roller/roman blinds upstairs because they necessitate choosing colours. The rooms are currently occupied by my grownup daughters who I'm trying to ease out! So I don't want to 'decorate' them too much as it might send the wrong message!

If you take the 290 unit off the back run and island, I think that would be sufficient? As you've got kids I think a banquette seat would be ideal for family games, homework, crafts etc. Banquettes are around 60cm, table 90cm so that leaves 113cm which I think is more than sufficient both visually and practically as it's the same gap I have behind my kitchen table. Choose chairs that push under and consider the table legs carefully depending on the number of chairs wanted, pedestal tables often work. I would however take the sink off the island and maybe install a prep sink instead so the back run would be DW, sink, bin, induction hob (I'd integrate the oven personally). Is the shower room a must? It seems quite a trek to reach there with the number of doors unless there was a way to extend the 2nd front door forward and create access from the hall there. Also wondering if you'd considered removing the wall between snug and the old kitchen? It may make the area more useable rather than trying to fill the old kitchen

Hi, I would also keep the utility where it is on the original plan. You could make it slightly narrower so it doesn't eat into the living area as much, just as long as you leave at least 650mm from the back of the units up to the door frame to allow you to fit the units in comfortably. You do look to have a lot of space in the kitchen so you could integrate units in here e.g larder units to give you plenty of storage which means you can just use the utility room for coats/boots and laundry.
