Ahhh


PD have raised floors i quite a few of their homes. They look fabulous
They survive ok their display homes with hundreds of feet clmabering over them. As long as they are structurally sound you shouldn't have any problems.
anyone else??


All I can see with the kitchen on the platform is a whole lot of trouble!

Lots of potential for tripping and falling whilst carrying hot, boiling liquids or food.....

hmmmmm I think it looks interesting but just not safe...


Just my 2 cents

I must admit I do not like them at all and totally agree with Talinsmum.
A house on our estate took a long time to sell, it had a raised kitchen platform and all I could focus on was how dangerous it looked. I never critise any ideas that people have on this forum because we are all different and unique, but this to me is purely a safety issue


Mrs B
my cousin is a physio ( but he never give me a massage! ) and he does believe the platform will bring household accident, e.g. a small kids toy hidden from your vision when you stepping down with hot pot in hands ,
so i agree with the former post.

i think PD put merbau or jarrah or iron bark timber floating floorboard so durability should be ok

but again, it is totally a personal preference
thanks for the feedback guys, as we have a little tyke- it may be worth reconsidering.

I guess though it's no different to a sunken lounge etc- Hmm lots to think about


Does anyone actually have one??

actually I think its a lot different
- whilst the tripping hazard is the same for both - the level of risk for the raised kitchen is a lot higher due to the daily preparation of hot foods and liquids......

But it really comes down to what you want? if you want the raised kitchen and you're not a clutz (like I am
) then go for it, I just wouldn't have it in my house....
