Help with floorplan for big home reno/extension please?
Comments (32)You are most welcome, I have always said that I haven't been put on this earth to "Hug" toilets, so I'am wondering who is going to clean all of these Bathrooms. Our two kids a boy and a girl had the upstairs "apartment" which they and all their friends loved. I have added a timber stair case for fun, there's plenty of space but you will need to decide what you want to do in the attic and place the stairs to open up into a tall space. I have also turned one of the ensuites into a powder room. Your Jacaranda's only drop once a year!, you used to be able to trim them by 25% each year, you would need to check with your council, we were on the lower North Shore, I think you should consider the patio side of the house and make better use of that, is the front deck something you plan on adding because of aspect, and plant some tall growing hedge ready for the apartments. Our kids Attic desk/study space over looked our pool in the rear garden. With respect to using the formal rooms for bedrooms, you will find that once you have your large family/alfresco and the kids have their upstairs space if you still feel you need it, it would make a great office. You spend most of the time there only using only using the front room in the evening for watching movies etc. I have had another play with my floor plan, I think if your wife sees this you may be in trouble, it's a Master Suite, the free standing bath in the window alcove with white timber shutters for sun and privacy control..... Iam' adding a couple of photos of our old Federation which wasn't protected, when we sold it the new owners removed all of the Fret work & posts replacing them with simple timber posts. The front rooms which we didn't use very much once we opened up the rear rooms into a family area. The room with the Bay window had a Baby grand sitting there, we sold the piano before we took the photo. Cheers...See MoreCan you help us with our kitchen reno floor plan?
Comments (83)I've been playing around with a pantry location. Originally, I was going to move the pantry into the laundry with some custom shelving and cut the laundry space in half. Now, Im thinking of cutting into the study area and building a wall there, and converting the new space into a long and narrow walk in pantry. Either that or build half a wall and put built in shelving in the study. Building the extra wall will reduce the need to cover in the door way that is currently in place and instead utilising it. Thoughts? p.s. this isnt too scale....See MoreHelp me choose a floorplan option for an extention
Comments (2)the existing floor and roof over the covered deck may not be suitable to enclose a new room but the space should be enough for a master suite but swapping the dining and kitchen would make better use of the central area...bed 3 makes a better laundry/mudroom with some space to be added to expand the old bathroom and the lounge could be converted to an extra bedroom and/or small media room.. .....See MoreLaundry - Bathroom Reno
Comments (15)Working with 2400, the following idea, a 3 bedroom unit would benefit from a separate toilet, you could add a recessed hand basin but a good looking laundry and sink would cover that.. If the toilet was moved back into what is the laundry cupboard this would give a possible window, this space would then be transferred into the bathroom as a linen cupboard it would also place the doorway into the toilet in a better position. Alternatively you could leave access to the toilet via the bathroom, still keeping the toilet moved back to enable a window/ or not The family bathroom would then have a decent vanity and bath with shower over. The ensuite would have a 1400 shower with a toilet backing onto the separate toilet which should allow for easier plumbing, plus an exterior window...See MoreKate
