Suggestions Needed: Space Planning 5Rm Resale Corridor Unit

[currahee 1]

hello..

need some advice on space planning for my resale place. below is the attached floor plan

Some thoughts:

1. whether to knock down the store room, and relocate the storage space to make use of the space on the left of the main door. perhaps create a full wall sliding storage area.

2. or move the storage room to the area right outside the common bathroom. and relocate the bath room door to enter from the yard. with this, need to know out the half wall for the kitchen to yard.

3. have a sliding door to "hide" the way to the MBR and bedroom2. any way to better use the space between the MBR n BR2 door?

thanks for your views..

I like all your ideas! However, for #2, is the service balcony properly covered and enclosed?. Also, hacking bathroom walls can be expensive with the tiling and waterproofing required.

Do you plan to use your dining area as a dining area? If you don't move the store, perhaps you want to consider knocking down the kitchen / dining wall, so you have a more open space. The dining area seems very small compared to the rest of the place, which is lovely and big.

thanks for the suggestion.

yes the service balcony is enclosed.

for the bathroom, i intend to re-tile so not sure if too costly to hack that part.

for dining, i think the existing space is a good area. the living area looks too far from kitchen..

good point, will consider hacking the kitchen/dining wall.. and perhaps a glass sliding door to contain the kitchen fumes
