here's my suggestion for a 2 bed house within 6m x 8m....the plan could be reversed and windows added to suit the outlook and a small verandah added to shelter an outside sitting area and the entry doors

Are you going to live in this house

Hi CHG, yes this layout is only 6 x 7.2 so there's extra space available. I didn't think that such a small house needed such a big kitchen, better to have more living space, but depends what it's going to be used for. Laundry cabinet could be placed into a cupboard where the hot water is or as per the other plan, perhaps even just and old copper and concrete sink out the back!!

Sounds perfect fambler66, would you consider adding sliding doors to the second bedroom so that you can actually have a bigger space to live with a computer desk and close the doors when you have visitors, perhaps a night and day lounge. You will even have space outside for a BBQ if you wanted. I have Easy Blue and a couple of other freebees sketchup, Floor planner, just need time to spend on them it wouldn't hurt to be a bit younger, . cheers

That's a good size verandah and adds a lot of extra space, not sure about the doors you have looked at but it's a very good idea so that you can get extra light and a feeling of space and would imagine they would work out less expensive, your builder will know do you need your own laundry or will you use the park laundry?

Hi Guys, I know I'm coming in a little late, but I have attached a concept granny flat design that we have been working on. It is very similar in size to your project and you may give you some inspiration.

PL well done, good plan to work with/from. Just adding a photo of sliding panels to help with light and space, they do a great job.

Do you have a height restriction? I'm not sure of your age/agility but a lot of tiny houses have a loft bedroom over the top of the kitchen/ bathroom in what might have been dead attic space. This adds lots of extra floor space but you need 3m or 9 foot stud at least in that end, preferably 4m. You can have a roof that slopes with the high point above the kitchen/bathroom upper bedroom area That could give you a second bedroom for visitors and your main bedroom and living areas could be made bigger on the ground floor.

Like the plans but I personally think, after living in small houses in NZ myself, having the second bedroom separated from the first (at least by the bathroom area) is a better option than 3 bedrooms. You could incorporate an office and entertainment area into the living space instead of adding a 3rd bedroom, or a washer and dryer in a cupboard or into the kitchen as many Europen houses do. Clever storage and multifunctional ideas, e.g. under bed storage, storage under built-in seating that can double as an extra bed, may be much better options than squeezing in a 3rd bedroom. I cannot stress enough how a feeling of space in your open plan living / dining / kitchen area is so important when you cannot utilise the outdoors in winter or inclement weather.

Happy Easter Fambler66 have you sorted your floor plan yet

Happy Easter to all you wonderful people here, thank you for all the ideas I am incorporating lots into the new plan. Definitely only having 2 bedrooms, and I am seriously thinking of adding an extra metre to the length, making it 9m x 6m. Thank you to one and all

Hope it all goes very well and Happy Easter to you too sounds wonderful.

yes don't forget the laundry, I did suggest putting a washer /dryer into the cupboard in the kitchen as per plan, but perhaps the Park will have laundry facilities, looking forward to seeing your slightly bigger plan cheers
