Another Case Study: Unlocking the Potential in an Underused Floorplan

This home had great bones but it wasn’t working for the way our clients wanted to live now.
With 2 grown adult children living at home and regular guest, the home was feeling small and dysfunctional. (3 women all trying to share one bathroom! 🙃)

Scroll through and let me know which layout you like best! 1 (slide 2), 2 (slide 3) or 3 (slide 4)? Each have their own pros and cons!

Client Frustrations (Existing plan on first slide):

– The kitchen, dining, and living spaces felt out of proportion
– There was only one bathroom and toilet
– The front lounge was awkward and difficult to furnish
– The laundry was pokey!

Our Design Solution:
– Reconfigured the kitchen, dining, and living zones to bring balance back
– Redirected the hallway to give imporatant space to the ultility part of the home.
– Merged kitchen and dining to open up the living space — now there’s room for proper lounge seating
– Reworked the laundry and bathroom layout to deliver a full-sized laundry, extra storage, and a functional second bathroom
– Added a wall in to create a guest bedroom off the front living room.

The 3 bed, 1 bathroom home became 4 bed, 2 bathrooms under the same roof with no extension!
