All Topics / Value Adding / Floorplan design – Help needed!
Hi Guys,
I am looking at purchasing a property with a extremely disfunctional layout.
In order to improve this I would like to know what the average requirements are for different parts of the house when it comes to size. I am intersted in the following areas:
1)bedrooms. (3 bedroom house)
2) kitchen
3) dining
4) living room
5)bathroomsYour help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mav
Hi Mav,
It's a bit of a tricky one since so often open plan is the way to go and the typical size of a kitchen next to a typical sized dining room next to a typical lounge is more than you will actually need.
I do highly recommend getting a designer to look at this for you rather than trying to work it out for yourself. I find that when my clients attempt to reconfigure a layout themselves there is usually (always!) a better way – and a designer is trained to work through and refine the best layout design for your particular property.
If you are set on doing the layout yourself, jump onto Google for average area sizes (which will vary according to the overall property size, number of bedrooms, type of property and expectations of buyers/renters in your particular area).
Sorry not to offer you a one-size fits all answer. Good luck none-the-less!
