Renovation - changing floor plan ideas (suggestions please)

Comments (7)hey, firstly - can you post the plans directly into the forum? you might get a bit more feedback that way! Your plan seems pretty logical and straightforward - swapping the bedroom and living areas over to create an open plan space. Have you considered where the sunlight is at different times of day and how this might affect the different rooms? I would encourage you to have a think about this if not - there is nothing worse than adding a load of new windows and sliding doors only to find out the space is dark and cold. Are you planning on extending at all or are you working with the existing floorplan? its hard to tell but it looks like once you move the bedroom it will be trapped between the ensuite and the hallway. Will you be able to get a window into this room? You need some sort of external window for building regulations purposes plus a room without windows is pretty grim! I hope this helps! Good to see someone sketching out their ideas like this....See MoreFloor Plan layout help for renovation
Comments (8)Thank you both for your feedback. Yes, these are the agents plans - just trying to get some general ideas. This is my first renovation and first time posting to the forum, sorry for lack of info. I've included the downstairs of the house (agent plans again sorry, but for context). The laundry has already been moved in towards the workshop area and a new bathroom in it's place. The landing of the stairs will open onto a new deck, and the utility area will be two small bedrooms. The house is on a sloping block with the entrance at road level, so want to keep the front door where it is (to the right of the kitchen). All internal walls upstairs are asbestos so we are having this all removed, which will give us the opportunity to install a beam if we were to remove walls and open the space. The space between bedroom 2 and the kitchen is currently unused space, where I think the previous owners may have used this corner of the house as an office and put in a wall before selling (to sell as a 2 bedroom house instead of 1 bed). I was hoping to get some preliminary ideas before we engage draftsman & engineer - we will be removing the existing deck on the back of the house as well as building a new two car carport on the front of the house....See MoreAny ideas on floor plan for renovation - 70y old house in Melbourne
Comments (5)what are all the walls floors and roof built out of? are the front bedroom and rear living room additions to the original house? is there a step down to the living room and what are the thick sections of wall at the end of the bathroom and study built of?...where are the original and proposed external doors to the backyard? is there a garage and driveway or any good or bad views and where would you have a dining area?.... it's important to understand the existing structure before considering changes eg the dimensions are inconsistent (varying wall thicknesses?) and you have removed sections of wall between the kitchen and lounge but these walls may hold up the ceiling and roof...do you know which walls are load bearing?...See MoreRochelle Ford
