I used to be proper once I stated in yesterday’s put up that I wanted assist getting out of my tunnel imaginative and prescient. And this complete train of seeing precise ground plans submitted by different folks, and seeing how others envision the probabilities for our home, actually helped me begin considering exterior the field.
I’m not at some extent the place I can say, “That is the plan!” I haven’t even proven Matt any of the plans that have been submitted, and I’m nonetheless considering by means of varied potentialities. I wish to take my time fairly than speeding into a call. And I’ve obtained loads of concepts to chew on now.
What I discovered attention-grabbing is that the concepts appeared to fall into two broad classes. The primary class of plans required a big rectangle-shaped addition on the again of the home. The second class of plans required two separate additions, one on all sides of the again of the home, with a deck or patio space between these two additions. So let me present you the entire submissions to this point. And should you wished to submit an thought, however haven’t had time but, please go forward and ship it to me! Nothing is about in stone at this level.
First, let me remind you of what our ground plan seems like proper now, with the sunroom and tiny toilet eliminated since these are going to be torn down it doesn’t matter what.
This plan was submitted by Becca, and the plan exhibits one single giant addition on the again of the home. Behind the grasp toilet is a house health club. Subsequent to that could be a laundry room. And subsequent to that (and behind the kitchen and music room) is a big lounge. The present visitor bed room could be became a big grasp closet, and the present lounge could be became the eating room.
This plan comes from Becky, and it additionally has the one giant rectangle addition on the again. The idea may be very related, with the brand new again addition housing a exercise space and grasp closet behind the present grasp toilet, a laundry room subsequent to that, and a eating room behind the present kitchen and music room.

Subsequent up is the primary of the two-addition ground plan. This one from Nick has a exercise room added to the again of our toilet, a household room added to the again of the music room, and a pantry behind the kitchen. The patio/deck sits between the exercise room and the household room with a curvy design on the again. The present breakfast room and pantry turn out to be a eating room. The visitor bed room turns into a big closet. The hallway toilet turns into the laundry room. And the half toilet in my studio turns into the total visitor toilet.
That is additionally from Nick, with just a few minor adjustments. On this ground plan, the exercise room and the closet have flipped locations.
And eventually, this one is from Teri. This one additionally has two separate additions with a patio space in between. The addition behind the loos contains an train room, giant closet, and laundry room. And on the opposite aspect is the galley kitchen addition I had deliberate.
