Bad house layout

Glenn Thomas
4 years ago

We love a lot about this house. The lounge room has incredible views out through the sunroom and garden in the al fresco and the master bedroom (bed 1) is spacious and private with great views.


However a big issues remain:

— bed 4 and bed 3 open directly onto the lounge room

— bedis fine for a nursery but too small for a teenage or guest bedroom

— the kitchen is annoyingly, and needlessly closed off

— there are two bathrooms next to each other


We knew these problems existed before purchasing, but for a variety of reasons (my wife being extremely pregnant at the time, and we were running out of a chance to get a loan) and while we have some potential ideas in place we also feel to be running in circles.

The pond has been removed.

Garage will be updated to be a work studio.


The Goal:

— Add a third proper bedroom

— Bathroom that is central to the bedrooms

— Keep great views from lounge/dining




------------------------------------------------------------


Idea 1:

— Open kitchen and add island and remove sunroom wall to make a single large space.

— Add hallway in front of bed 4 and 3 to add privacy

— Extend to add full size bedroom

— Remove wall for bed 2 to make open study area


** Issue remains that there is no bathroom central to the bedrooms




------------------------------------------------------------


Idea 2:

— Is to essentially build up. It's not the most desirable solution due to cost but would add more flexibility.

— bed 4 and 3 could be joined to create a nice guest bedroom



Cheers!
