I would be considering options to do away with some. I would want a bigger pantry for the size of the kitchen. And I would extend the alfresco to the living too. I would do more storage too, maybe a walk in linen or something Re: Seek advice/comment on floor plan 4Jun 08, 2019 8:52 pm alymei Personally I think hallways are wasted space and there are a few here.

The hallway to parents room maybe difficult to remove. The alfresco can be extended to the living area, but I worry the light to living will be affected significantly. To extend the pantry, I could extend it to parents WIR otherwise no other space.

If you extended alfresco you will still get light cone thru, just not direct sunlight. Otherwise consider extending it to WIR and ensuite of Parents Room and adding a servery window out there.

How about extend the decking up to the parents WIR, put a retractable awning here. Extend during summer and retract during winter.
