I really like this one! It\u2019s only 210m\u00b2 but there\u2019s a LOT packed into this floor plan without it feeling like they\u2019ve tried to squeeze too much in.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a 3 bedroom home with two separate living areas, a proper study, butler\u2019s pantry and double garage. I think this would be such a good layout for a smaller family, downsizers who still want plenty of space, or even a couple who work from home.<\/p>\n
The kitchen, dining and main living area are all open plan, with the second living room sitting separately beside it. I really like having that second space without making the house enormous.<\/p>\n
The kitchen layout is good too. There\u2019s a big island, plenty of bench space and a butler\u2019s pantry tucked behind it. I also like that the laundry is right there near the kitchen and garage, rather than stuck down near the bedrooms.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s a proper study near the entry<\/strong>. Always a tick from me! Especially now when so many floor plans give you a tiny study nook and call it an office.<\/p>\n The main bedroom is at the back of the home with a walk in robe and ensuite, while Bedrooms 2 and 3 are grouped together with the main bathroom.<\/p>\n I also like that the toilet is separate from the bathroom. It just makes sense in a family home.<\/p>\n One of the interesting things about this plan is that it has actually been designed to make the most of the northern aspect<\/strong>, with the main open plan living spaces positioned to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n What would I change?<\/p>\n I think I\u2019d want a little more connection to an outdoor entertaining area. There\u2019s a lot I like internally, but I\u2019d definitely be thinking about where a deck or alfresco would sit and how that connected back to the kitchen and living area.<\/p>\n But overall, I think this is a really clever use of 210m\u00b2. You\u2019re getting three good bedrooms, two living spaces AND a decent study without building a huge house.<\/p>\n The original floor plan is the T\u014drere 210 by Green Homes New Zealand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n See the original T\u014drere 210 floor plan here<\/a><\/p>\n Check out all of my other favourite floor plans over here<\/a>.
