I just bought a house and the current kitchen is too small and is upstairs close to bedrooms. There was a room that I believe was initially a garage which I would like to turn into a new kitchen but it's 10m length but only 3m width and now am not sure if this kitchen will be nice there. Again I would like to make additions. 2 bedrooms and living room, preferably a double storey add-on. Finally this house has a pool in front yard and I would like a privacy wall that will look nice .
