New Main floor Layout

Contest Brief

Looking to renovate a main floor but need some help with creating a new layout. I need to add a powder room (there is room under the stairs for part of it, or all) and I'm not tied to the current layout (where the kitchen is, for example). While an office would be ideal, I want to maximize the living room space, and possible create an office somewhere else on the main floor, and not as big. Need to receive back a revised floor plan and 3D model. Assume that ALL walls can come down. There are 2 posts that are supporting the second floor. I've added a floorplan as well as current images of the interior to help visualize the space.

    I am so sorry, I was late. I have read your all massage. But honesty I am not sure.
    I have revised the main floor lay out. Make it more open up. I feel the TV set position is not ideally

    I see on the pictures that you have a door under the staircase now - what is that space used for? That is the space which will become the powder room, so it's useful to have its dimensions.

      Hi sorry. I don't actually ahve the dimensions of that space. There is a door and it COULD fit under there, even if a bit tight.

    About the offices... how often do you work at home? is a main work space for you? Do you meet with clients?... and the second office: Is for a collaborator of your work or a study place for childrens homework? Do you need the offices as separated from the rest of home to keep family´s prvacy? Please tell us about the use of the offices/study!

    dear, are you planning to remodel the main floor only or the whole house including the second floor ? was your house built using brick walls or wooden partitions ? where is the main entrance because i don't see it on the floor plan ? is the porch included in the renovation area ? i mean are you going to join its area to the main building ? do you have a Dwg file for the floor ? thank you

      I am doing the second floor but not as part of this project. Built using brick. Main entrance is off of the porch right in the middle. The porch is not part of the renovation area (not going to be enclosed). I don't have a DWG file - what i have is a plan from 30 years ago, so had to scan them.

    Also, a bit more about me. We have one infant child (more planned) and a dog. We live in Canada (so snowy) and need to have an area that we can take off our boots/coats in the Winter time. We like more of a living area (watching TV, kids playing) vs. a dining room but want to have room to put a table for guests.

    As for some of the other questions
    1) I'm not sure the height of the ceilings, but let's assume they are 8.5ft.
    2) One small office at home would suffice, but if we could have 2 seats in that office that would be helpful
    3) The second floor is bedrooms
    4) The layout is going to be used in my own home renovations and looking for help/inspiration/efficiencies in using the space that is available.

    Thanks!
