What country?

Architects do not "have" house plans, they create home designs and other building types.

Pay an architect and kitchen designer to come up with a design. But they can surely do way better than that dysfunctional space wasting design brief. 1/2 of the downstairs used as a kitchen is a terrible idea. Be careful, or you may be cursed with getting what you ask for.

I do realize that is what they do. There are aspects of different firms that the plans their architects have created are close to what I’m especially looking for. With the changes of the kitchen rearrangement has been challenge.

I am trying to find a firm to do so. Maybe I worded my question wrong. Is there any recommendations for a firm that would or could design what I’m looking for. The image of example of a house drawing & layout plan gives a idea of what they are able to do. And hiring them, absolutely, it’s their bread and butter.

A modestly-sized house with essentially two kitchen spaces is custom. I cannot imagine there are any stock plans that fulfill such specific requirements and that will work on your lot. I think you need to hire an architect to start this endeavor from scratch. I had clients that wanted a scullery, but after much consultation with me, the architect and builder, they realized it didn't work with how they functioned in their home. A good architect will make sure that the design you think you want makes sense for how you live and for the size of your home.

Perhaps you could change a stock plan with a large walk in pantry. What is the function of the "hidden scullery"? Are you looking for a show kitchen (like the formal kitchens in your ideabooks) and a separate prep kitchen? Or do you want a giant sink, dishwasher, and storage in addition to a standard kitchen? A caterer's kitchen?

Seek to create something that is good, not try to fix something that is bad. The best architecture meets the user's needs and makes best use of the site. You and your site are unique and should be treated that way, by the architect and yourself.

Lol…. I used to cater and the kitchen is important to me. The kitchen is a place where everyone comes to talk, grandchildren pulling up chairs to help make things. The reason for the scullery which I did have in our previous home, had my appliances on the counters Kitchen Aid mixer, food processor etc. as for this home we are building, I defiantly want my appliances etc on the counter, with flour/sugar bins for easy access. With age comes, pulling appliances out of shelves draws etc, is no longer going to be something I want to do. We are planning ahead, and this is a age in place home where we can enjoy our treasured time indoors. With our beautiful treed acreage of spruce, birch etc, moose, deer, and pond with a paved walking trail for years to come.

Ps. My saves on Houzz are things I defiantly like. Which I also haven’t saved many things in a long time.

Stop looking for floor plans and start looking for a competent local architect.

("local" is defined as as close as it can be until a good fit is found)

Yes! You’ve Got it!

To add - contact Architectrunnerguy here on Houzz - he does remote work and is quite well regarded by the folks who have utilized his services, as well as generous with his time and advice. I suspect he could help you design what you are looking for, reasonably priced, and he's also comfortable and familiar with remote engagements. Good to have a builder in mind as you start, as well, for a good team.

I thought she was looking for an architect that "has house plans". Do not expect a local architect to pull a house design out of their files and alter it to fit another client's needs and site. A competent local architect will work with their client to determine their needs and wants, and analyze their site to created the best design.

There are great architects in Calgary and no they do not do stock plans you can use they design a house for a client tht is how it is done . BTW I run a catering biz from my home and have never had a "scullery" and honestly as I aged the main emphasis was on function and ease of care I see no issue with having my mixer on the counter since it is used all the time but I love having everything in one sapce other than I store all my baking pans in a space outside the mai kitchen. I have a Bosch DW with a quick wash cycle so it runs many times during a catering job and at the end of the day a clean up quickly and we are done. Think about how you will use these spaces as you age the grandkids will grow up and we find no matter how i might think everyone always ends up in our kitchen and its a kitchen not a show place . My hubby and I always cook together now so when I designed this kitchen I decided to really think about how we cook daily since he retired very differnt from our last house. Get an architect and work to get a house that is perfect for you. BTW IMO ther eis no way to design a house remotely any more than to design a kitchen remotely .

Thank you for the replies. Greatly appreciated.

Google architects in your area. Then call them and have a conversation over the phone. They may offer free first time consultations? Or put that fee toward creating the plan.

Hi Kelly-

It is interesting how English is so different in different parts of the world.

I am not sure what you mean by scullery.

Do you mean that you want extra space for storage of small kitchen appliances and perhaps an overflow of kitchen food staples, and less frequently used serving dishes and baking dishes?

In the United States, most of us call that a pantry.

Yours can be anything you want, and any size, with or without a door, and a separate room or a series of cabinets in your kitchen.

If you have then as a series of cabinets in your kitchen, it enlarges the size of your kitchen overall, which you may not want, but it keeps everything closer, which some people like, and you can use pull out drawers and all manner of clever drawer and cabinet organizers.

If you have a separate pantry area, you can design it as you wish, and even design in a space for a rolling three-tier cart on which to place the things you want to bring into the kitchen from the pantry, as well as a place for a ladder or step stool for you to reach the upper shelves.

You can have slotted and lined shelves with padded racks placed to hold your lovely trays, because it is not good to stack silver trays one on top of each other. Okay, I am running away with myself.

The thing is, you have storage of kitchen appliances, overflow of foodstuffs, and what let's call the "party closet" function in the pantry. That is a lot of things to store.

Please think through yourself what you need.

You have to know what you need to be able to ask for it.

Might want to check out Our House on 8th on Instagram. She used a firm called Scala Designs from Calgary.

Lots of Vancouver homes have spice kitchens. These are secondary kitchen spaces for cooking that has a lot of strong smells. They also provide additional storage and non public space viewing space.

I’m sure if you meet with a local architect and tell them your wishes they can make you a drool worthy kitchen and additional space.

I've always enjoyed Drummond house plans. They are in Canada. Here's a link to one with a front facing kitchen.
