The two images compare the current layout of the ground

floor

of a house with a plan to redesign the same living space. It can be seen that the original design proposal involved a number of alterations to the ground

floor

of the house, mainly in the central

hall

area. There are no plans to modify the exterior walls or the entrance. The most noticeable shift from the existing to the proposed

floor

plan is that there will no longer be a separate

hall

area when the building work is completed.

This

will be achieved by removing internal walls and doors between the

hall

and living room,

along with

the current stair and under-stair storage cupboards. In the absence of a separate

hall

area, the proposed living room would

also

contain a staircase to the first

floor

. To replace the current straight staircase, a fresh set of winding stairs will be installed in the corner of the living room. The inner door between the

hall

and the kitchen will

also

be replaced with a double door linking the kitchen to the current

sitting-room

Finally

, the planned building work will

also

include the installation of some kitchen furniture.
