Help with kitchen and Laundry layout please!!

2 years ago

We are in the process of deciding the floor plan for our house. This is what we have got currently. Not very happy with kitchen layout and laundry being next to it. We do want it east facing. Could I get any suggestions please!

Just to clarify. What do you want facing east. The kitchen or the laundry?

Hello jbakerfc, I can see how this can work. It needs to run in straight lines! As you step into the kitchen from entry immediately to your left is a linen/store/broom cupboard then wall to laundry door. Along the other wall an under bench WM, trough and one meter of benching makes laundry. (where it is now I'm guessing).Then use the full depth of that lost space for step in pantry with a cavity slider. 1400 wide by 1600 deep: enough to store feed the hungry hoards! This is that side taken care of! to the right as you enter from entry, is 'frige in situ. One long 3.5 m bench along the outside wall: stove right hand end of bench, closest to entry. At the other end place DW and SSS with chunk of bench between. There would be one meter from front of stove to side of 1.2 wide fridge then door to entry. In free space place an island bench: aprox 1.9 x 1.2 Working at this in kitchen you would have your back to the window and be looking into laundry. it would be wide enough for back to back cabinets or stools to traffic side or ends. I think the family room cabinet would swing round to back the bedroom. be great to put in cavity sliders instead to open it all up when you want to. I hope this makes sense to you. I do hope the living rooms are to the north for maximum solar gain to keep your heating bills to a minimum. Cheers Margot

Thank you Geluka and Margot, the breakfast bar won't be 2 level, the app we used to draw up this design doesn't allow a single piece of bench (to wrap around the support column) hence the split level look. We will have a glass door for our mud room/laundry entrance. Probably won't have a pergola as the courtyard will be quite small and narrow post extension. I am considering moving the oven tower to the end of the bench housing the stove top. Assuming a 900mm stove, 600mm oven tower that will leave 600mm clearance on either side of the stove top. Many thanks, Ee ;)

We intend to use the current study as a fifth / guest bedroom and study (hence wanting an updated bathroom downstairs too). We do have guests stay quite often (older step kids etc.) Some good ideas to think about, appreciate the feedback

an island in the kitchen would challenge the available walk through to the family room and the precise space available in the alcove depends on wall thickness so my suggestion has a new location for fridge, wall oven and tall storage, similar location for stove, sink and dishwasher and the alcove used as pantry space with a free standing table rather than an island to test how it feels before committing to a fixed island and a new kitchen and widening the dining room door should not need a DA but always best to ask the building inspector at your local Council

Your front faces east and kitchen north.
Can u post full site plan.
Are those your priorities for front of house?
Can pooja be part of study area if that moves to front?

My suggestion is to change the pantry position. Have two long work benches, one with your cooking facility’s so when you stand you face east......out of interest, why is this a thing? Then have your large pantry on the north wall. The north side should be full of windows, but with your restrictions of east facing cooking, then the pantry position is a compromise. Then a separate room for a long laundry with storage and washing machine etc, along one wall.

With the bIg north symbol on the floor plan, I would think that those directions are accurate.

@dreamer thank you for your suggestions. We follow Vastu. It's like Feng Shui. North or East facing are best.

Found this. Would this mean that east face cooking is not a definite requirement.??

And these, does this mean you should really have your kitchen in the south east corner, where the garage is. Or on the opposite corner, as per the excellent plan that @kate has posted?

You need to sit down with an architect and go through all of your wants. They can look at all the competing aspects including views overshadowing. And your specific details. We are probably only making this harder with limited information. It will be money well spent on what is probably the biggest purchase you ever make
