Hello everyone,

we live in a 10-year-old semi-detached house with a total of 150 square meters of living space and a basement. My question concerns the redesign of the ground floors and is: Do you consider this possible and reasonable?

First, the current situation:

In the floor plan picture, two floor-to-ceiling windows in the living/dining area are missing, located at the top right and top right above the bay window. In addition, the kitchen has two doors, one to the hallway and one to the dining room (in the area with the bay window). The staircase is closed off by a "glass-wood structure" extending the kitchen wall and, besides the door from the hallway shown, has another door to the living room. Our living room is at the top left, and a work corner is set up at the top right. The printer, etc., is located in a basement room, which is properly furnished as an office but simply not suitable for longer work periods (not a living basement).

My wish: To turn the kitchen into a study. To wall up the door to the current dining room and install the kitchen in the current dining room. Remove or keep the "glass-wood structure" (still undecided). Then the dining table would have to be placed at the top right (current work corner), the living room might need somewhat smaller furniture and would remain at the top left. Does this seem conceivable? We already keep our supplies (including a second fridge with a large freezer compartment) in the basement below the dining room and are very satisfied with that, meaning no food storage is necessary in the kitchen (even though it would be larger than the current kitchen).

Ideally, the guest WC should get a shower, which would reduce the size of the wardrobe niche. That would still be enough for jackets, but shoes, etc., would need a new place. I currently see that only in the basement. Alternatively, I imagine installing a built-in closet in place of the glass-wood wall between the staircase and the current dining room.

I would be very happy to hear opinions. Many thanks in advance.

A picture is worth a thousand words

Yes, I'll try it tomorrow, right now it's reflecting so much that you can't see anything. It's simply a glass box with two doors that closes off the stairwell on the ground floor and thus creates a separation to the upper floor with the children's rooms. But that's not really what matters to me. Thanks anyway for the hint.

But that is not the only detail about your house that no one here besides you knows yet.
