1st Floor Remodel

The hubs grew up with 2 other siblings. It inspired me to redesign his childhood home to better fit their large family & guests.

Original / current floor plan



Simple remodel • breaking down the walls with 2 fridges & dishwasher for the lazy family:

I'm not quite sure if there are parts of the wall that are structural though, and assumed there is a structural column by the new kitchen island ...

Our current lifestyle "requires" a desk in the LDK. But yikes! The "great" room, even without the walls, is too small!

So, here's the whole first floor:

Re-imagined with a larger island, floor seating dining, and a separate living/family room:
+ a proper full bath, bedroom, and a sun room to the large backyard
I was also sketching out an accessible ramp to get onto the front porch ...

An alternate version where the washer dryer isn't enclosed which perhaps gives more space in the working area:
