Floor Layout

[whiskywhisky]

Hi

We are soon to embark on a double story house extension, and would be extremely grateful for some feedback on what design/floor layout others would have if they did the same extension.

FYI - this is a detached house and are struggling to decide on the 1st floor layout. I have uploaded a image, the yellow lines are the new extension. I realise that a lot more info is needed like supporting walls etc. Currently there is only 1 toilet in the house (labelled) which will be removed. We would like the new soil pipe to either be at the back or at the left hand side of the building.

What we will like to include in this space is 2 futher bedrooms (5 in total). The existing bathroom is does have just about enough space for a toilet. We would like 3 (2 minimum) en suites to any of the larger bedrooms.

How would you design this?


Many Thanks

to be honest, a good set of drawings would be good, the one you provided isnt scaled and therfore we cant see the proportions etc..

have you employed an architect/technician/surveyor?

yes what he said, an existing plan and proposed plan showing the new external wall.

Sorry do not have architectural drawings as off yet, am currently trying to choose one.

What I am would like to find out how people will layout if they have the choice, in order to know and help guide whch way i would like the architectural drawings to be done.

The yellow line is the new extension.

Can't do it without some rough plans at least. If you are going to employ someone (a technician I hope don't bother with an architect) then they should come up with a good layout anyway.

Apologies - I have done rough plans myself and uploaded them to my account, thinking they will be visible. But going by the comments I believe they are not.

These are my rough 1st plan and would appreciate other's layout ideas:

But as has now been mentioned three times your drawing is not to scale or at least there is something odd going on with parts of it. For instance what is happening with that stair and you infer that the width of the proposed is 9000mm yet the depth is only 3300 so there’s something fishy going on with the proportions. Or not, who knows!

As mentioned if you want some useful feedback provide two (to scale) plans, one showing the existing layout and one proposed showing the outline you propose.
