Depending on how big your dining table is, if you move the pantry to the side wall of the kitchen, you still have heaps of bench space, but it frees up space for a smaller table and then the living is more flexible and room to play with. I flipped the door to the master bedroom to the back wall which gives better flow along that wall and it won't feel like your bedroom is in the middle of the living area. I also moved the door to bedroom 2 so there is direct access to the bathroom (like it's own wing) and changed the walk in robe in Bed 3 to normal robe and added a linen to the hallway. With 2 linen cupboards, the one in the garage could then be used for storage. If you make the toilet room about 20cm shorter (because you have a cavity slider), then you can recess the fridge into the wall.

Going down to 1200 may be a little narrow if someone else is trying to get past. Esp since the fridge is going to protrude into the entrance of the kitchen. When you say a double door fridge do you mean a French door or a side by side? Because French doors still have full sized freezer doors that need room to open, and to pull out the drawers. I like the small footprint of your design. How many ppl will be living here? I am referring French door. but 1.2m is not enough space to pull the draws or open the freezer door? we are, 2 adult + 2 kids any other change or modification you recommend. I was referring to the amount of circulation space in the kitchen. So yes, 1200 is big enough to open the freezer drawer, but when you’re kneeling there rummaging around for that frozen steak that’s fallen down the back, no one is going to be able to get around you. Am I seeing that you have two double sinks in the kitchen? That suggests you will have more than one person working in there at a time. But you may well be happy to compromise on that, and that’s fine. I like the idea of extending the peninsular to make it a dining table as well. Get rid of the dining table and extend the peninsular into the living area. But I see you also intend to convert the garage into another living area, so that’s another reason not to squash everything into this space. Possibly both depending on the sizing. Idea of working from the centre is that you dont have a 20mm thin tile at one end and a 400mm at the other end. A quick search on… 3 8736 You never have a fridge against wall as you’ve drawn. The doors can’t open past 90 degrees and it’s difficult and maybe impossible to remove drawers 2 17495 |
