Other design options

7 years ago

Love these and am considering something similar for privacy and for blocking the sun on a porch we are currently building. I'm wondering if it's possible to get something like this but fixed/stationary (so it doesn't open from the bottom like these), and have them open and close like interior plantation shutters (from a center vertical bar)?

Hello mhoefling, Yes it is possible to fix these in and make them with movable louvers. You can give me a call at 704-817-8704 and I can provide more information and pricing ranges.

Thanks,

Tiffany Dean

HI -- gross635 -- Your right to some degree but you can't move the main floor bath to the other side because then that interfers with the floor plan on the second floor. Would not work . I would have loved to turn the whole plan around but it won't work in this case. Added note to what I posted before is to get rid of anywalls you don't need and also not every room has to have a door. Like the one on the lounge and the one at the end of the hall. I would open the lounge up by not having the walls on the entrance hall . As for a closet , there is space in front of the set back powder room for some coat hooks etc. I also question the fact of , if the lounge is really needed. Everything could have been shifted to the front and the kitchen set back , then that would have made a larger dining/familyroom area . But that would have ruined the resale value . So I think moving the bathrooms was the lest and best for this plan. One question I have , is this an English plan ?, because the English love putting doors on every room ?And usually the doors swing the wrong way.

I've had a look at free offerings for floor planning software. It depends on the level you want to go to. Sweethome3D http://www.sweethome3d.com/ is truly free because it's open source (no fees if you want to draw more than one plan etc). I've found I can get reasonably detailed with it from layout perspective but I doubt it would be good enough for a drawings for a building permit (although I'm not certain of this). As a graphic designer you'll have an affinity for graphics software. If you want to be able to draw more detailed drawings Id take the time to learn Sketchup. I know some architects use this as their software of choice. I'm definitely with you @Jason Carter - the only way to really control your budget is to plan ahead and choose and price everything that you can think of before you break ground. Otherwise you're in a situation where you have to make quick compromises during the build which leads to mistakes etc. In my work we use requirements tracking tools. I think it would be really helpful to communicate to the contractors exactly what is going to go on in the room - why the extra outlets are there and in the position they're in. That way they have a deeper understanding of why the specs are the way they are and they don't make decisions that detract from the design - they might even come up with suggestions that support the ideas behind the designs.

Lovely, much better than the 3D plan. V glad you kept your patterned floor tiles, I really like them. It's all come together very attractively. The only thing I'd change and this is just because I'm a colour freak is the pendants - I'd probably have made those red and orange or something. But congrats really, it looks great.

I'm assuming by the door handings that you are left handed ? The microwave is a little low - for comfort if it was at the top of that cabinet it would be a bit easier on your back. In order to create an island you'd need to leave sufficient room to not only walk around, but also to allow you to crouch down in front of the cooker too - so I think the way you have it looks as though it offers a better option. Have you considered/ allowed for adding appliances for dish washing and laundry too ?! Is one of the tall cabinets an integrated FF ?
