Wow you worked so hard to get this posted.....anyone out there that can look at this post and give some direction?

I think it looks perfect, but what size beds are you keeping in the bedrooms? If you put queen or full size mattresses instead of king size then you could add more space to the living areas and you might want to be flexible in the options for the TV selections and is there any room to add some closet for storage space.

If you wanted to make your bedrooms slightly narrower in the axis of the width of the bed, I think you could get away with that. Sometimes those corners between the bedside tables and the wall end up wasted anyway. You could keep the length the same, and possibly have room for a freestanding wardrobe on the opposite wall from the beds. We have a small cabin about this size, and the bedrooms are 3.3m x 3.8m, and it works pretty well.

Only other “brainstorm” I had was somehow move the living area where you could keep the roll-up door, maybe a glass one, and be able to open it up. I haven’t thought thru how that fits yet, though! :)

Great project, I'll take a look in a bit, but first, a question; do I understand the area that the garage door leads to will be part of the indoor living space and the carport mentioned will be added on? As opposed to the garage door leading to the car/outdoor eating area?

Some observations as yet, with the type of use it seems this will get, rather have one entrance, not two (referring to the kitchen and mudroom as the two) and consider only one walled bedroom, and bookshelves, cupboards and/ or screens, to create temporary dividers for the second bedroom-space, as a verstile almost-studio style. Also switch the bath and wc.

I've looked over your project. What you've drawn up is not bad. I like that you kept it simple, uncluttered. I've made some changes, shown above.

I included a mudroom in only one of these, it eats space, and external wall space at that, so I'd rather dedicate a rack and some hooks to the purpose than an entire room.
Note that in all but one of these options, there is a lot of closet space, an excess. You could easily cut downn on that if you like.
Assess your use with regard to the second bedroom being a bedroom or a separable, two or three walled space.
I think it's good to open up the kitchen some more. The 2nd bedroom is a bit obstructive there, and a bit isolated from the first.
I altered the bathrooms, getting the entrances a bit further from the dining space,
Also on the topic of the kitchen, pay no heed to the layouts I've used, they're vague placeholders. Once you decide on the layout we can discuss the kitchen layout if you like.
Also pay little attention to window placements, I am not sure of what you have to work with.

Thank you so much for taking such an interest and drawing up your ideas so professionally. I've taken your advice on board and the first or second designs seem terrific. I agree with you about losing the wall separating the mudroom and just replacing it with a wall /hook system. That should do the trick well. You have saved me on wall construction and reduced the doors needed with these designs, made the WC and bathroom much more private and made better use of the spaces generally. I'm going to do accurate internal measures of the building I have in the next day or so and see where I can use existing windows. Kind regards Frances

My pleasure Frances :) I enjoy these, so thanks to you as well.

I like the first and second too. Between them, it would depend on where you want morning and afternoon light, and which views you like in each space, but the basic design is the same, you can switch the living room and dining as you like.

I used Homestyler for these, you can Google it if you'd like to try layouts there too.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi, any developments here?

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the initial design especially Najeeba who took so much trouble to draw up suggestions for me. I'm attaching the final design and some pics FYI. I'm very happy with the internal layout; plenty of light and space and I think a good design for the 60sq m footprint. The result is substantially like the plan here although there was a little more space put in the bathroom, a lockable internal cavity door was put in separating the two bedrooms fA and B) or flexibility, and the dogleg wall (F) separating the bathroom and living areas was made straight and with no return, and I put a run of kitchen along that, on the living room side. The living room also has a sofa bed now so all up an accommodate 5 or six. Thanks again Najeeba. And I'd love to hear any interesting suggestions for the external beautification. So far I'm just repainting the red gable to griege.
