How would you improve our floor plan?
This is the floorplan of our first home, currently old 80's style - how would you improve the layout?
Our main concerns are there is only one bathroom and bedrooms are small.
The Family room at the front of the home has a flat roof with all windows (awesome view!) and can’t easily be changed.
The sunroom and bed 4 at back of the house also has a flat roof and is in bad shape - so will def need to be renovate this area.

Comments (3)I don't think that you will have a problem without building a study........ The extra garage space will be a valuable asset...........and can do double duty........See MoreWould you go a black or near black timber floor?
Comments (4)Sorry for the delay....well I still haven't quite got to the floor yet. I have friends and family advising that black would show up every bit of dust etc and one friend who had a shiny black floor and felt that she was forever mopping, and if the light shone on the floor on the wrong angle you could see where the mop had been. I think this would frustrate me too much especially with young children and a cat so I think a whitewash look could be a good option, or reclaimed battered timber perhaps.......see why I haven't chosen the floor yet. Lol. You could always go a black but a weathered matt reclaimed timber that could look good too. Good luck!...See MoreFeedback on floor plan for open living area in new build
Comments (4)To me it looks like it would be better to have a smaller kitchen as being a 1 bedroom place the living/ kitchen area is quite small. I think having the essentials along the bedroom wall is good but the island makes the living area too small in the first plan, and in the second the cabinets make the walkway too narrow. I would put sink, fridge, oven along the bedroom wall then make any other bench and storage space more like moveable furniture to make the living area seem bigger. The kitchen may be able to be shut off behind doors (a bit like a euro laundry) when not in use to make a much bigger living room, especially if it isn't used a lot....See MoreInitial concept floor plan
Comments (0)Hi, we are in the very early stages of planning our first build and would appreciate any feedback or comments on the initial floorplan from our architects. We are generally pleased with the layout although would like the living dining to be more open (possibly extend to create a little bit more space off the living area behind the garage and move the fire in here...at present the fire divides the dining and lounge). Also we think the pool should be moved out a bit more so we don't walk straight out the door into the pool fence. Anything else you can see being problematic? We have no experience so any pointers greatly appreciated. thanks...See MoreCassy B

We will definitely need to improve the back sunroom by removing all the old windows and roof to make it into a more liveable space but would like to keep it on the existing stumps so can’t make the floor size larger. We are on a corner block with dimensions in pic.

2 years agoas usual the real estate dimensions are inconsistent (and says that the house is about 70sqm bigger than i can calculate) so you need to measure every space including halls, bathroom, toilet, laundry etc ignoring all the biw and cabinets and only use the size of the actual rooms wall to wall not anything that can be removed without changing walls and ceilings ) but, assuming approx dimensions my suggestion would be to use the original living area for a hall and bed 4 and steal space for an ens, move the laundry out the back to enlarge bed 3 and use the refurbished sunroom and bed 4 for a new dining area, laundry and small study and improve the kitchen ...but we need accurate dimensions to be accurate
