Love a light filled house. Do you have a question. My young adult children spend most time out or in their bedrooms or on our covered deck with friends. I would love a fire pit. The space I would add is second bathroom to your house.

Im looking for reconfiguration ideas. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are too small. One daughter has moved into the family room in the extension and using the study as a robe and we’ve added a shower and toilet to the laundry. Depending on cost we would consider removing the flat roof extension and pushing out where the deck is. Given that that side of the house is north facing.

What are the areas adjacent kitchen and wc used for? What sort of budget and what do you want to achieve room wise?

If you love the house and it suits you as you get older I wouldn’t reconfigure for adult children. If there’s room on your block I’d consider craning in a two bedroom “granny flat”. Cheaper, quicker and you’re not left with a house that is too big as you age.

Break one of the smaller bedrooms into study and wir for adjacent bedroom. Then add bungalow or whatever at the back for some extra living space. Or the new study could be new bathroom and existing bath the study, given bath seems tight. You could extend front or back but it all depends on budget

How many bedrooms do you need (how many children, you have only mentioned one). Do you need a study?

As you have mentioned the study is now a WIR, do you really need a study in your new configuration?

the master bedroom is about the same size as the two small bedrooms so the immediate solution would be for parents to use the family room, study and laundry bathroom, one child to use the original master bedroom and other child to have the two small bedrooms and they share the main bathroom

I agree, why does one child get a bigger area than the parents?

Thanks everyone. Kate - next to WC is “butlers pantry” and space in kitchen has cooker and cupboard not drawn in.

We have a room outside that we use as a study

Two kids 19 and 20. Unlikely to be able to afford to move out any time soon.

Really is a simple fix. Take wall down as much as you can between bed 2 and bed 3. Make into one large bedroom. Spend your well earned money on renovating the family room and the study and laundry rooms into your parent master bedroom, WIR and bathroom. All occupants of home will then have good size rooms that can adapt to their needs over the next 10 years.

my suggestions would be to use the three existing bedrooms for the kids with an improved bathroom for sharing and guests...the original master for one child and one bedroom plus study for the other with or without removing the dividing wall, relocate parents and upgrade potential wiw and ens..relocate laundry and add generous storage and there's a new kitchen with pantry, dining and alfresco and more space for everyone

I really like your designs. What if we were to remove the flat roof extension and made that the alfresco area. As the westerly sun on the current deck is very harsh.

do you mean that you would like to remove the old extension and build a whole new extension but what would you want in the renovated house with new extension??...and keep in mind that, unless the existing extension is in horrible condition, some sliding screens on the westeren side of the alfresco would help control harsh sun but ideal floorplan also depends on more information inlcuding a desciption of your local climate and a site plan showing width and length of the whole block, size and location of any major trees and all buildings including any garages and the outside study you mentioned, direction of north and any good or bad views

Some photos to show current condition of the flat roof extension, kitchen and bathrooms would also help with informed decisions. We do not know your house apart from the sketch you have posted.

some more ideas to consider
