I really don't see the point of swapping the kitchen with the bedroom. The current layout the kitchen is accessible via the dining area anyway. If you do the swap, you need to move the bathroom as the current kitchen is too narrow as bedroom. It is a waste of money without much difference.

You have only one kitchen. No wet and dry. Why would you want to have such direct view of the kitchen anyway? Most people will have dry kitchen directly connecting to dining and living and the wet kitchen further behind as wet kitchen may be a bit more "messy" "busy".

If you have one only the current layout of offset view is actually more desirable

If you dont need the bedroom, then use it as kitchen.

Is the current dimension of the existing kitchen fit a bed ?

Just knock the wall between living hall and room

Now u have ultra large kitchen with walk in beer fridge

Same dilemma with TS, the property I am looking at has similar layout except it being a little wider at 22ft and individual title.

Was looking at ways to make it look more spacious and swapping the room and kitchen and knock down the wall seems to be the more effective one. Wet kitchen can be seperated with a glass sliding door.

Hope to see some inputs here too.

I am sure it can be done. Just the matter of cost. I will estimate it might cost about RM40k

If you still want a kitchen next to the dining, build a dry kitchen cum breakfast bar and leave the existing kitchen as wet kitchen and close it with the door. Our asian cooking is very stinky and oily. You do not want that kitchen next to the dining and open up to the living.

With a slighty easier modification, you can achieve more passage between the dining area and kitchen. Turn the 90 degree corner in the bedroom into angular like the red line. Then for the wall between the kitchen and the store/dining room, make a window (I think its called serving hatch) in the blue line area.

So with this minimum modification, you sacrifice a bit on the bedroom size and increase the passage area between the dining and kitchen. You could try something similar with the blue area, but I couldn't figure how, so I suggest serving hatch instead. You could so angle out the cabinet at between the dining and kitchen. I think this will really gives a clear view on the kitchen, and many people can fit beween the kitchen and dining.

As for the bedroom door, you might want to get a different style of door. Perhaps a rolling, shuttle, or sliding type.
