Description:
We have inherited an old house. Its design is not very practical. It has two "apartments" and two kitchens, but only one bathroom and one shared toilette. Only the outside walls are carrying walls. All other walls are not and can be demolished. We need to change it into one of the following:
1. Two apartments - each apartment has a small living room with a small kitchen and a small bathroom with a shower. One apartment has two small bedrooms, and one apartment has one small bedroom. Each apartment should have a separate entrance.
2. One big apartment with a big dining/ living room and kitchen, and 4 bedrooms. A bathroom/toilette and a separate toilette room. Each bedroom should have a separate entrance from the living room.
The water sources will most likely not change but the electric outlets can.
Wants:
a floor plan or a 3d model.

Thanks everyone for your submissions! We went with the one that made the most sense to us! Great job everyone!
Yes! we only want to change the upper floor and are still not sure if we want 1 big apartment or 2 smaller ones. so either one of the layouts is valid.
Hi alexandrad
You say "We need to change it into one of the following:
1. Two apartments ....
2. One big apartment ...
Is this mean you want on second level layout of two apartments as stated under 1. with your description, or one big apartment as stated under 2. with your description.
Is this correct?
Regard.

Appreciate the clarity and additional photos. What a lovely home! It has so much character (design elements)!

I am sorry. That is all we have available for now. There are likely some columns in the middle wall but we don't know where. Very old house

@AlexK
1.) Renovation will strictly be for top floor (2nd level)?
Yes
2.) If plumbing is not to be relocated, how to expect new floor plan layout? From interpreting the drawing, plumbing is within a central wall.
The wall can be torn down and the room layout can also be changed. But the sources of water are not easy to change as it is a 300 year old house.
3.) Looks like there are structural columns centrally located (top floor seems to illustrate this, and would make sense for structural integrity). Please confirm. (Still able to remove walls, if columns are load bearing). Some pictures of basement/crawl space will help.
There is no crawl space. I am not sure what you mean by basement. We have a ground floor, a second floor and a roof. We believe there might be a column inside the middle wall upstairs, but do not know where. We will adjust the plans we get accordingly. There are no other plans other than what we submitted. As far as we know only the outside walls are bearing walls upstairs. So we will just have to look out for columns once we start the renovation.

Design And More:
1. ground floor plan shows big walls which seems structural for the house:
Yes, that is why we are ONLY changing the upper floor which doesn't seem to have integral walls and can be changed. There might be a column, but we have no idea where so we will adapt once we find it, but there are no other plans in existance.
2.Are you sure for this floor ?
for upper floor pretty sure
2. How much entrance in the house are ever made ? We have one garden and one street entrance downstairs. That will stay the same as we don't want to change anything on the outer walls.
Do you want to transform cella into a living space or let it like that ?
Eventually we want a third apartment upstairs, but not in the next 10 years.
Are you ok to create three stairs to create 3 duplex ?
not really as we don't want to change anything downstairs for now.
Thank you for the great questions
the attached drawing plan doesn't show the location of column , the new floor plan must be designed as per the existed column so re send the drawing plan so that the new floor can be designed accordingly.

Hi, Great challenge. I'm sure we could have fun with. Somes questions :
You said that the walls can be demolished but the ground floor plan shows big walls which seems structural for the house. Are you sure for this floor ?
How much entrance in the house are ever made ? I see 3 openings from exterior to the house and one last for a cellar.
Do you want to transform cella into a living space or let it like that ?
Are you ok to create three stairs to create 3 duplex ?
Thanks by advance.

Convert Hand-drawn Floor Plans to CAD/PDF - Architectural Drafting
I have three apartment floor plans and one community center floor plan that are currently hand-drawn. I need CAD versions of these floorplans (for sub-contractors) and PDF versions (for an apartment rental website - blackmountainliving.com). For the pdf's, I'd like one version with dimensions and one without. Color and various aesthetics are welcome.
Refer to the "Basic Unit_Detailed Dimension" file first. The other two apartment floorplans (1390 and 1430) should include the carport, all the same labeling, and the same level of detail for dimensions.
2 Story Family Home Floor Plans
Hi,
I am seeking house floor plans for a 2 story family home to be built in Townsville Australia. The house should be approximately 380sqm in size and be designed to take into account our climate which is hot and humid in summer and mild winters. This would include capturing prevailing breezes, shading and room placement. Information about building in Townsville can be found here https://www.townsville.qld.gov.au/water-waste-and-environment/sustainability/sustainable-housing under the sustainable housing information kit.
The block is North facing and has parkland opposite, a picture can be found here https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-residential+land-qld-burdell-202763674
I have also indluded the sizes of the block in the attachements
Our style for the house will be modern Hamptons/Tropical
GROUND FLOOR:
Master suite: ensuite to have a bath tub (ideally overlooking something relaxing), double vanity. Good size WIR.
Kids area that can be closed off from the rest of the house to conceal mess: 3 kids rooms connecting to a kids retreat area. This area of the house should also have a bathroom with free standing bath tub and double vanity. Separate toilet/powder room as this will also be for visitors.
2 car garage with a 3rd car garage next to it to be used as workshop/storeroom
Mud room off the garage
Laundry off the mud room with decent bench space
Kitchen with servery to the outside dining alfresco area, decent island bench with small prep sink. Butlers pantry, large pantry with tonnes of shelving to see and have easy access to all food. Double sink and dishwasher in a bench under the servery. Island bench would ideall afford views to the outside patio and a TV in the lounge
Kitchen should connect to open plan small dining area and lounge room
Small inside dining area close to the kitchen (round table preference close to a window seat or bay window?) pic attached for inspiration.
Open plan lounge room in front of the kitchen for ease of entertaining (should also have a TV in view of kitchen). Im imagining this space to be quite decent, enough space so that we can fit in a decent group of people comfortably when entertaining.
Study nook close to kitchen, big enough for two kids to do homework at (perhaps that can be concealed?)
Big open patio area connecting with Alfresco with outdoor kitchen (or space for one) and plenty of room for lounging
Pool coming off patio 25 to 30000 litres
Nice front porch, enough for a big double swing so we can be comfy watching the kids on the road/path.
1ST FLOOR:
Study
Guest room with ensuite
Media Room

Redesign Home Look
Looking to redesign the home. Something about the home is not appealing and we're looking to see what we can do.
We believe the front wall and gate needs to be raised with a taller gate. The fountain in the front needs to be replaced. The driveway could be redone or not. The color scheme doesn't seem right.
3D modelling of a great new residential complex
Hi folks,
we are conceiving construction projects. Right now we need a 3d model of our newest project
, that we are conceiving in Allplan 2013.
In particular we need a 3d model of the outside shell and one sample apartment.
These we will forward to a post-production artist who will inhale the photo-realism.
We do have all plans / floor plans in 2D ready.
We hope to find somebody who have fun dealing with 3D and participating in something bigger.
