Hello....we are renovating an old home and looking for ideas for a floorplan layout.

The renovation will be reasonably extensive, we intend on remodeling existing floorplan + extending to add floorspace. Ideally, we don’t want to knock over any of the existing structure and then just simply add floor space to the rear (at least beyond the current footprint), rather looking to get creative and retain as much of the existing structure/layout and extend forward + up. We also want to minimse any further intrusion into the rear yard as possible.

Ideally we would like to have the following:

- 4 beds (Ground - MB with ensuite/WIW + spare room/study. Upstairs 2 beds)

- Kitchen

- Living room (off the kitchen/dining room)

- Dinning area (off the kitchen)

- 2nd living room (separate from the open plan living)

- 2 bath (1 ground / 1 upstairs)

- Laundry with mudroom (garage to open into mudroom through existing external front wall)

- Rear living area to open up to the north facing back yard

Current ideas:

Option 1: Existing floor plan re-modelled to open up the rear for open plan living with extension at front of house of a garage + a 2nd level with 2 beds/1 bath / rumpus (not shown – but will be above the garage/existing front right portion of the house – this is to capture views to the south).

This option limits the extension required to the existing structure and allows for a greater 2nd story addition. However, requires a bit more thought on layout and perhaps this risk is too many internal walls require removal (thinking load bearing).

Option 2: Existing floor plan re-modelled with a single extension to the rear for open plan living with extension of a garage + a 2nd level with 2 beds/1 bath (not shown – but will be above the garage/existing front right portion of the house).

This option essentially requires 2 separate extensions (to the rear on the ground level and a 2nd level addition). However, less intrusive of the existing floorplan.

I am super interested in ideas…if anyone has a proposal on how to maximise the use of existing structure and floorplan, with as little remodeling + extensions as possible to achieve a great outcome that would be much appreciated.
