Designing a layout and floorplan for your property
Re: Designing a layout and floorplan for your property
It looks like you could make the kitchen bigger by moving things like refrigerator, water cooler etc., into the washen which I assume is the laundry room. Or.....move the entire laundry outside in the back and make the entire washen part of the kitchen. Pete

Yes, we have already plans to change it.
Refering to the discussion in the topic of tips for caddies, the female workers get 200 Baht/day, the male workers 300 Baht/day. But I saw more male workers lying around half the day. The female ones work really hard and better. But you have to be on the building site nearly every day to look if they make no mistakes.

Re: Designing a layout and floorplan for your property
I also enjoyed designing my own home. If you do that you get exactly what you want. I designed mine using several Florida homes as examples and combining the best features of each with my requirements. The plan turned out perfectly and exactly as I imagined it. I wouldn't change a thing (except I would build a smaller one now due to costs).
What I will say is that once I did my own floor plan I got a professional (engineer who worked for the Tessabahn) to make the full plan drawings with details and elevation. We adjusted it a few times as I spotted things that I didn't like, and I was on site every day during construction to make sure the plan was followed (and I didn't get a stairway to nowhere).

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Google sketchup is pretty well for house design too....and free

This is the house modeled with sketchup:
But sometimes also unexpected things happen. If you change something in one part you can have strange effects in some other part of the model.
The program has a lot of possibilities, e.g. I made photos of the tiles and the doors and put them into the model.But sometimes also unexpected things happen. If you change something in one part you can have strange effects in some other part of the model.

Re: Designing a layout and floorplan for your property
This is an old thread but today I took a course on sketchup and found it very interesting. The things we learnt to do were just very basic and aimed to be taught to school children. I think that they will find it very interesting and it will also be very useful for a child or youth to develop his/her 3D drawing skills and thinking. So try it and see what your kids think of it. There is also a basic 10 min. course on internet, just google it.
