The diagrams below show the existing ground floor plan of a house and a proposed plan for some building work.

The two pictures compare the current layout of the ground

floor

of a house with a plan to redesign the same living space. We can see that the new design proposal involves making a number of changes to the ground

floor

of the house, mainly in the central

hall

area. There are no plans to change the external walls and entrances. The most significant change from the existing to the proposed

floor

plan is that there will no longer be a separate

hall

when the building work has been completed.

This

will be achieved by the removal of the internal wall on the living

room

side and the redesign of the stairs. Without the separate

hall

area, the living

room

space will be larger and contains the staircase to the first

floor

. To replace the current straight staircase, a new set of winding stairs will be installed in the corner of the living

room

. The internal door between the

hall

and the kitchen will be replaced by a set of double doors connecting the kitchen to the new living

room

.

Lastly

, the planned building work will

also

include the installation of some kitchen furniture.
