I know this has been addressed before but indulge me.

Planning a new gut-reno of a 20×45 townhouse.

Elements for the parlor floor: Dining Room, Kitchen, Living Room.

Almost all internal walls will be removed for an open loft feel. Zones can be separated by drawing hidden full-length curtains.

What do people think of the following configuration: Dining Room in front, Kitchen in middle (counters & cabinets on the party wall and counter only opposite (galley style), Living Room in the back (full width of house).

I know others have put the kitchen in the back but then you have an odd area on the opposite wall that is usually a small eating space or couch on the wall.

The front of the house is loud so we don’t want to put our living room there. Plus we wanted to use the full-length part of the house (back behind the stairs) for a bigger living room that has views of the garden as opposed to a smaller LR in the middle where the hallway cuts into the width of the room.

What do you guys think? Other configurations? Pros, cons?

Thanks!
