• A dining area was added to provide a natural flow into the living space/family room.
• The WC was relocated to make it larger, while still maintaining the position and privacy of the study.
• A second reception was added, providing more use out of the available floorspace and thus more value for money.
• Overall, the new layout does the house justice by being more efficient and minimising wasted space.
By converting the garage to a kitchen, the optimised layout takes advantage of the structural wall and uses it to define the kitchen and create a large walk-in larder and utility area.

Original
Ground Floor Plan
The original flooplan for this beautiful, 5-bedroom home in Surrey had a lot of high circulation areas which wasted a lot of the available living space.
• The downstairs WC and utility room were small and impractical
• The structural wall that ran through the garage and into the kitchen created an awkward layout.
• There was only a single reception room that limited the available entertaining space.
• Overall, the layout wasn't as good as it could have been for a house of that price.
