This is the idea we had for the kitchen.

That bathroom niche is the perfect size for a niche shower!

Relocate bathtub to be on the long wall (top wall on plan)

Put basin either on the wall just after your door

It opens up the window nicely. Add towel rails under that window, it will be lovely

As for kitchen, better put all the tall cupboards, fridge, and pantry on that structural wall. Free up the whole window side for benchtop for a clean line look.

You can incorporate a desk in the bench as well.

Its just so much easier to place and duct a rangehood on that side.

I would put the shower in the niche and replace the existing shower and vanity with a long vanity along that wall with mirrored shaving cabinets above as the most cost effective way to do things, I'am a big fan of the Japanese style bathroom but I think your space is a bit small.

So bathroom like this. It looks like it would feel like there was more room.

I do the like the idea of running a bench all the way along the wall however probably need to include a bath.

I was hoping to keep the bath instiu but possibly recessing back into the wall for a bit of extra depth for accessing the shower and then you could have a long vanity back to wards the door

That's the plan of the house on the block. With the kitchen I was thinking of extending the deck to just past the window so that there could be a bi-fold window opening to the deck.

Good to see the floor plan , I suggest the following it would mean repositioning the WC slightly but keeping and re swinging the door, we need to fit a recessed hand basin in there as well.

By taking some space from the laundry to change the toilet will allow for a bigger shower space The new doorway into the laundry shouldn't be a problem because it's only part of the load bearing wall, but always check with a builder. cheers

And the new kitchen

my suggestion adds the extra doorway into the kitchen (not the old laundry) to creates a combined pantry laundry with more central access to the deck, doesn't reduce counter or storage space but you should update the laundry with under bench washer and new counter and wall cabinets to match the new kitchen and study area and the study bench, base and wall cabinets include extra storage for kitchen and dining area and can be made lower for desk height (also good height for pastry and bread making) by using kitchen cabinets and counter with minimal kick board

Thankyou so much for you generosity and time. Took me a while just to get my head around the idea of rotating the toilet. Something that I just would never have considered.

Think we will probably use okLouise's bathroom layout probably more because it keeps the laundry a little larger and requires one less job of moving a wall and plumbing.

But I loved that idea of how rotating it would give so much more openness to the room.

I'll investigate the banquette seating side of things for the kitchen. I love how it would open up more space for dining as don't need to move the table so far in to accommodate chairs. It would seem to tie the space together a bit more too.

Maybe something like this. Not sure about the corner cupboards. But the bottom area could be some pullout option and then on the wall the panty on top of the bench with some appliance storage to keep that stuff hidden.

Probably need a smaller fridge as well if I swapped sides, as a 900 fridge would only leave around 1600 to the wall and bench seat taking up 550 to 600 of that. Our table is 800 wide and 1400 long. An 700-800 fridge may just make putting chairs at the table a bit easier when being next to an opening fridge.

Hi Daniel, The floor plan I did of the kitchen has the Pantry running from the back wall up to the fridge which because of the width of the kitchen between cabinets is 1400 that would really work to have the one wall with all the tall units together. But that's not to say that you couldn't have the fridge built in on the other wall as a barrier between the sink and the Banquette seating and replacing the fridge with cabinets for coffee and or appliances. But this new plan gives you more bench space and keeping the pantry and fridge to gether

I do still have a problem with your toilet, at the moment it's like opening a cupboard and finding a toilet, the door opening into the passage is very difficult.

This is what I would do, Japanese style bath shower room and move the toilet back into what I think could have been the original position with window and hand basin making this a separate Powder Room, and still keeping the large laundry, with possible under bench washer to have a larger bench top and this could also now include a linen cupboard cheers

That was my original thoughts with the shower bathroom after reading some of the other things you had suggested on other peoples plans.

The basin helps and extending the toilet space would not feel like you are standing on toilet the second you walk through the door as we do now.

Yes it gives you a much better toilet/powder room, if the basin recessed partially back into the wall,with a mirror above for brushing teeth./makeup effectively a his and hers vanity with both rooms. Not having to move the bath is also a plus cheers

Daniel, what's your budget? Depending upon what that is there may be better value options that execute the spend to both (a) functional/spatial improvements/expansion and (b) higher property value outcome for the investment. We deal with this stuff on a daily basis and it simply comes down to budget one way or another depending upon the scope thresholds. What I will say is don't underestimate how much it costs to refit these expensive aspects within existing space by a "rearranging the sock drawer" type of approach.. More often than not we prove that this is often false economy as an isolated exercise (depending of course on budget/property value etc) and that alternatively a well considered/designed complimentary extension coupled with strategic/minimal renovation scope is a way better bang-for-buck strategy, and when it's valued in cost/m2 for the overall residence's outcome, it's actually a far LOWER cost/input for the property when projects are managed in this way. You'll achieve increased/more spacious living amenity, higher property value, for overall lower cost/m2 - that's a Win-Win-Win that you can't argue with.

The thing is labour KILLS in renos these days and there is a lot of hidden labour in wet areas and for relatively small spaces......sometimes it's absolutely warranted say in inner urban areas where space is limited and you don't have the option, but you clearly have a stack of external swing room to extend out if you wanted to....which is why when strategies for these types of projects are being tossed around, we always try to make sure our clients are maximising the opportunity for whatever $$ they are injecting into the property..... you have step back a bit and "think outside the square" - that's how we deliver in what we do......

Hope that makes some sense provides some relevant food for thought! Cheers PD :)
