Open Concept floor plans without formal living rooms or dining rm
Comments (16)Thanks for the feedback everyone! A little more information, we live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the local building department allows us to only have an engineers stamp, it isn't required to have an architect. Additionally, our builder (while not an architect) has a lot of experience drawing up plans, and if we could find a floor plan that only needed some modification then he could draw up the plans. Maybe we will end up going to an architect after all, however at the moment I'm just trying to collect some floor plan options to see if we can avoid it. Ideally, we are looking for a single story home that has a large great room, windows in the kitchen, 3-4 bedrooms and about 3000 square feet. We don't need a seperate dining room, or formal living room, though if a plan has a dining room we will turn it into an office, or some sort of other "flex" space. Thanks!!...See MoreHELP WITH KITCHEN/DINING/LIVING ROOM FLOORPLAN
Comments (12)Your house is currently a single story, correct? Financially, you might be better off tearing off the roof and adding a second story rather than adding on, as long as your foundation can handle it. Put most of the bedrooms upstairs and reconfigure the downstairs footprint to house everything else. I agree your reconfigured space is lacking in design. For all the upheaval, you aren't gaining much in terms of cabinet space as compared to what you have now. The dining area looks more appropriate for a family of four than for a family of seven. This is one of those cases where moving really might make the most sense if you feel your home isn't working for you. I've lived through these types of renos with a big family; it's tough going. You are looking at months and months of major disruption in addition to the costs. I don't want to discourage you, but I don't want you to be caught off guard either....See MoreFlooring help for combined kitchen, dining and living room
