Evolved Design

I've drawn up the house in Sketchup so I can work out the renovations. One internal wall, a leftover from a previous extension, is load-bearing but everything else can come down. There's a disconnected brick chimney in the centre of the house that needs to be removed.

The house layout has evolved organically over 50 years. There have been a few mistakes made, e.g. the kitchen gets the best light; the bathroom is in the centre of the house, the second bedroom is a corridor to the main bedroom, etc.

These layout problems can be solved but only with some major renovations.
