Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 22, 2012 5:43 pm Hi Everyone! My partner and I are thinking of building the Monterey Q3. Everything about the house is perfect except for the kitchen view of the living room. My partner and I long ago decided that it would be great to have a kitchen that faces the TV in the Living room however, we are unsure if it would be possible to do this in the Monterey (we want to have the hole in the wall in the living). We were thinking about changing the TV room with the Laundry and wanted to ask if anyone has this and can confirm if what we want can be achieved. http://www.vic.henley.com.au/#/House/cl ... Plans/136/ If anyone has any ideas about, that would be super great! Warm Regards Re: Monterey 993 Q3 kitchen and Living help 2Jan 22, 2012 6:48 pm It seems like a pretty basic swap to me and probably makes a lot of sense! Henley may charge a redrafting fee, you will just have to ask!

If you kept the plan as it is drawn I'd swap the linen and entry door to the laundry, not sure I'd have the laundry entry off the living room like that. Nice plan though and I'm sure you'll figure out how best to work it for your lifestyle Re: Monterey 993 Q3 kitchen and Living help 5Jan 22, 2012 7:06 pm ^^ I agree with JLD about that wall-just swap the laundry so that it is up against the garage door,enclose the living area ( I'd make it smaller and the new TV area a bit larger so it actually becomes the living room directly opposite the kitchen) and Bob's your Uncle!

Laundrys are noisy and in between two living spaces would mean I'd need soundproofing - can you tell I can't stand the noise from the washing machine taking off while I'm trying to relax???
