Layout advice pls

last year

I’m planning a ground floor extension on a 1970’s detached home, main object is to increase kitchen/ dining space and living area’s while also incorporating an office which can used as a future snug or guest room with en suite.

Any advice or ideas on the layout would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaz,

It looks to me like the front of the house will be much improved by the more symmetrical arrangement of bay windows and side garage. But the back of the house feels a bit broken up. You also have 3 living spaces that are not directly connected. So I sketched out a quick idea. From the hall, a double door opens out to a large kitchen-dining-living space across the rear of the house. This is also attached to the front lounge (family room) with sliding doors, allowing it to be integrated or separated as needed. The single larger bifold door connects to the garden onto a larger covered patio. A small steel post between the kitchen window and the bifold doors is the only break in a wall of glazing (but the overhang could be extended over the kitchen to avoid excessive sunlight). 3 rooflights or lanterns sit above the 3 spaces to bring natural light deeper into the floorplan. The footprint of this is slightly smaller and slightly less glazing overall, therefore saving you money whilst making a very functional space (but I already have some ideas for improvement on this initial idea). Please let me know what you think? And I wish you all the best with your extension project!!

Kitchen layout advice. Can we fit an island

Hi all. We are converting our garage and putting on a rear extension. The extension is not in the attached plan. We need need ideas for kitchen layout. I'd love an island but not sure if it would fit. The garage measures 15ft8" by 8ft3" without insulation. We also have a large American fridge freezer (27.5in deep, 33in wide) to accommodate and I want a good sized larder press. Had been looking at a corner one by the window at the front but would this leave the window too small?

Hello everyone, I have a kitchen (new build) that is much larger than I really need. Trying to figure out the best layout is proving difficult due to the position of the windows which are all counter height... designers are saying it is difficult to find room for hob and large appliances with two large windows. The red kitchen outline in the drawing does not work due to the height of the window on the left (it needs a counter underneath it, because it is too high up not to have one). The measurements are 5.2 meters (17 foot) by 3.9 meters (12.7 foot) The smaller window on the right we have bricked up so we could have at least one wall free for tall appliances. Any advice would be so welcome... i need to decide this week as plumbing/electrics are due in. The hob cannot go under the window due to building regulations and I don't want it on the island either. Thanks in advance for any recommendations/comments etc.
