Walk through it in 3D →

Fully open kitchen. Fridge, oven with the microwave at eye level, a larder beside the microwave, the sink and the hob run along the back wall. The island is 2.1 × 0.95 m and faces the living room and garden.
Fluted glass screen in oak frames, L-shaped, 7 sliding panels. It closes the kitchen from the living room and dining area, and the island keeps its 4 stools inside it.
Dining for 8 right of the main door. The table runs across the room, so the path from the door stays clear.
Reception by the garden door: two sofas, two armchairs and a coffee table.
Family living in the garden bay. The TV wall has acoustic lining because it backs onto the office. The oak panel wall closes the room off from the reception.
Lobby with a hidden flush door. Coats, the electricity board and keys go on one wall, and a slim shoe cabinet on the other. The guest WC with shower opens off it.
Utility room. Washer-dryer tower, ironing board, cleaning cupboard, pantry, and the dirty-kitchen sink with the dishwasher.
Nanny's room with its own door from the bedroom corridor.
Office, guest room and playroom with a sofa bed that opens to 160 × 200.
The kids' room for the next 10 years. Switch between now and in about 5 years.
Family bath with a tub.
Your desk in the far-right corner as you come in, facing the wall with shelves above.
White digital piano on the west wall between the reception and the dining area, with its bench.

From the island you see across the living room and out to the garden.

About 27 seats inside (living 7, reception 8, dining 8, island 4), plus the garden.

Removing two kitchen walls needs the structural engineer's sign-off.

Rev 4 · from the original drawing

Open plan

Your latest brief, drawn from the original as-built plan. Nothing closes the kitchen or the family room: from the main door the dining, reception, family room, island and garden read as one space. The lobby has no door, the utility gets a hidden door from the kitchen, and the master dressing opens to the bedroom.

Fully open kitchen. Fridge, oven with the microwave at eye level and a larder beside the microwave on the back wall; the hob between the larder and the lobby wall; a counter under the kitchen window. The island is 3.10 × 1.45 m, faces the living room and garden, and holds the sink and the dishwasher.
Nothing closes the kitchen. No fluted-glass screen.
Dining for 8 right of the main door, the table 1.00 × 2.40 m running parallel to the kitchen and the west wall.
Reception by the garden door: two sofas, two armchairs and a coffee table.
Family living in the garden bay, open to the reception: no oak panel wall. The TV wall has acoustic lining because it backs onto the office.
Lobby with no door. The electricity board and keys on one wall, a tall slim shoe cabinet on the other. The guest WC with shower opens off it.
Utility room in the original laundry plus the maid's WC, 1.20 × 2.98 m: washer-dryer, ironing board, cleaning cupboard, pantry and the dirty-kitchen sink. The kitchen wall and window stay with the kitchen, and a hidden door in the kitchen wall leads in.
Nanny's room with its own door from the bedroom corridor.
The kids' room for the next 10 years: a full-height wardrobe along the whole left wall, with both study desks and the changing table built into it, and two equal beds (90 × 190) in front of it.
Family bath with a tub.
White digital piano on the west wall between the reception and the dining area, with its bench.
Open dressing onto the master bedroom, with wardrobes on three walls; the master bath now opens off the bedroom.
From the island you see across the living room and out to the garden.
About 27 seats inside: living 7, reception 8, dining 8, island 4, plus the garden.

Your desk stays in the far-right corner as in Rev 3.1; say if you'd rather move it.

The utility is 1.20 m wide: one run of appliances and cupboards leaves a 60 cm aisle, fine for one person at a time.

Removing the kitchen walls needs the structural engineer's sign-off.

Proposal 1 · Andrew Meshreky, 28 Sep 2026

Proposal 1

Andrew's first proposal, drawn after your meeting on sheet MA-AR-101-01, revision 2. I scaled his PDF onto the survey and compared every wall and opening with the as-built. These are all the changes, numbered on the plan. Red dashes are walls removed and oak is new wall. It is walls and doors only, plus the kitchen, dining, utility room and foyer you asked for.

Kitchen opened up. Its walls to the living room (3.86 m) and to the reception (3.08 m) are removed. Kitchen, living, reception and entrance become one open space, about 72 m² on Andrew's sheet.
Corridor door to the kitchen closed. The 94 cm door from the bedroom corridor into the kitchen is walled up. The corridor now opens only at its end, into the living room.
Entrance lobby opened. Its wall and door to the reception, and its door to the kitchen, are removed. Andrew drew a thin 2.24 m line on the old kitchen line; it becomes the foyer screen described below, 2.54 m of oak and satin-etched glass.
Laundry and maid's WC become one room. The wall between them and the WC door are removed: one laundry, 1.20 × 2.98 m (4 m²).
Laundry doors moved to the middle. The maid's-room door and the kitchen door (both 75 cm) move from the top of their walls to about 0.9–1.0 m down. The maid's room is still reached only through the laundry.
Family bathroom 19 cm longer. Its door wall moves up to the corridor line: 1.78 × 2.98 m (was 2.79). The small hall in front of the master door becomes 1.19 m deep. The door stays where it was.
Master dressing opened. The wall and door between the bedroom and the dressing are removed: bedroom and dressing together are about 24 m² (were 19 + 6).
Master bath entered from the bedroom. A new wall with a door of about 85 cm on the bedroom side; the old door from the dressing is walled up. The bath grows to 1.70 × 3.01 m (was 2.45 long), and the concrete column becomes a notch on its window side.

The kitchen (your reference, 30 Sep)

The layout from your reference images, fitted to Andrew's walls. The kitchen is 5.07 m from the utility wall to the foyer screen, with the window wall at the back.

Tall oak bank on the utility wall, 60 cm deep and up to the ceiling, in vertical-grain oak: a black fridge (90 cm) in a niche with oak cupboards above, then the utility door, then the oven with the microwave above it at eye level.
A hidden utility door. Andrew's door stays in the middle of its wall, but it becomes a flush oak panel in line with the bank, with no handle, so the wall reads as one piece of joinery. It opens into its own reveal, lying flat against the side of the opening. It doesn't swing into the kitchen or the utility.
White run along the window wall, handleless, with a light grey stone worktop at 90 cm, the hob, and a stone splashback. Wall cupboards run from 1.50 m up to the ceiling, with the hood built into the one over the hob and a warm LED strip underneath. The window stays clear.
Tall oak larder at the end of the run, backing onto the solid oak part of the foyer screen.
Island 3.0 × 1.0 m, with a light grey stone top 91 cm high. The stone runs down to the floor at the far end as a waterfall. The sides where you sit are white vertical V-groove panelling. A black double sink with a black tap and the dishwasher sit side by side on the kitchen side, so washing up happens in one place. The aisle to the run is 1.25 m, and the aisle to the oak bank is 1.23 m.
Solid-oak breakfast bar in an L, as in your friends' kitchen: a 7 cm slab tucked just under the stone top, so the stone seems to rest on the oak. Both legs are 55 cm deep, with the corner mitred on the diagonal. It cantilevers off the island with no legs, and the short leg ends flush with the kitchen side. Three counter stools face the kitchen from the living room, and one sits at the end: black leather bucket seats on black frames.
Three short black cylinder lights fixed to the ceiling over the island.

The island sink and dishwasher need a drain run in the floor to the service shaft, which is part of the plumbing discussion.

Dining for 8 (your reference, 30 Sep)

In the reception, right of the main door, with the long side parallel to the right-hand wall and to the kitchen's oak wall and bar.

Solid-oak table, 2.40 × 1.00 m, with softly rounded ends, two routed grooves along the top, and sturdy square legs set in from the ends.
Eight cream upholstered chairs on oak frames: three along each side and one at each end.
Room around it: 83 cm behind the chairs to the bar's end stool, 80 cm from the table to the wall for the chairs on that side, and the way out of the foyer stays clear.
Two short black cylinder lights on the ceiling over the table, like the kitchen's.

The utility room (your brief, 29 Sep)

1.20 × 2.98 m, with the doors to the maid's room and the kitchen facing each other in the middle. So the deep units sit at the two ends, and the long walls hold only shallow pieces. That leaves a 60–75 cm aisle everywhere. Left and right are as on the plan, with the window at the bottom.

Washer on the right wall, in the top corner, loading into the clear middle. A worktop over it at 90 cm is for folding.
Dirty-clothes basket right beside it: a 30 cm pull-out with two bags, lights and darks.
Cleaning cupboard: a tall 30 cm pull-out in the top-left corner, with shelves for sprays, refills and cloths, and a child lock.
Detergent cupboards above the washer and basket, from 1.50 m to the ceiling.
Sink under the window: a deep utility bowl centred in a 45 cm counter across the window wall. Buckets and cleaning products go underneath with a child lock, and there's a small cupboard beside the window.
Broom, mop and stick vacuum: a tall 30 cm cupboard on the left wall, with a charging socket inside.
Ironing: a slim 15 cm wall cabinet on the right wall holds a fold-down board that swivels to run along the room. The iron hangs on a heat-proof hook with its own socket, and there's a rail for cloths beside it.
Drying: with no balcony, a pulley airer on the ceiling over the middle, above head height.

The maid's-room door opens into the maid's room, and the kitchen door folds into its reveal in the oak bank, so the utility stays clear. Plumbing comes later.

The foyer (your brief, 29 Sep)

Andrew's thin line becomes a screen that gives privacy when the front door opens: 2.54 m long and 2.40 m high, on the old kitchen line. It leaves a foyer of 2.54 × 1.38 m, open to the reception on the right.

A sliding door of satin-etched ("washed") glass in a slim oak frame, straight in front of the front door. It lets the light through, but you can't see in. Slide it open and it disappears into the oak wall, leaving a 1.24 m way straight through to the kitchen. Close it for privacy when guests arrive. It runs on a soft-close top track, with a flush pull in the frame.
Coat wall on the left beside the guest bathroom: a 12 cm oak wall that is also the glass door's pocket. It has hooks at adult height (1.55 m) and children's height (1.05 m), a shelf above for keys and hats, and a 45 cm bench with shoe drawers to sit on.

It's clear of the front door's swing and the guest bathroom door. In 3D, the Doors switch opens and closes the glass.

Unchanged: the façade, every garden door and window, the columns, the bedroom and corridor doors, the guest bath and the main door. The windows are re-tagged D35–D40 on his sheet.

Like our Rev 4: open kitchen, open dressing with the bath off the bedroom, the laundry and maid's WC as one room, the corridor door to the kitchen closed, and no lobby door.

Unlike Rev 4: the maid's room still has no door of its own from the corridor, and the laundry-to-kitchen door stays in the middle of the wall (now hidden in the kitchen's oak bank).

Later: the structural engineer's sign-off for the kitchen walls (at the site visit), the plumbing for the utility and the island sink, and the column inside the enlarged master bath.

Your answers

What changed from Rev 1 to Rev 3.1

#	Question	Your answer	What I did
1	Option A or B?	Neither. No foyer; shoes and coats in the lobby left of the door. Dining right after the door on the right. A fully open kitchen. Use the rest of the photos.	New layout (Rev 2). The foyer is gone and the lobby keeps its walls with an open doorway. Dining is right of the main door. Both kitchen walls come down. The oak panel wall from your video closes the family living room. The door styles, mocha and sage photos are on the style board.
2	Glass screen between island and dining?	Add it and show me.	An L-shaped sliding glass screen on the two open sides of the kitchen. I placed it so the island keeps its 4 stools. Use the Kitchen glass switch above the plan.
3	Floors	OK for now.	Warm-white porcelain in living areas and wet rooms, engineered oak in the bedrooms.
4	Master bath upgrade	Not now.	Dressing room and bath stay as built. The layout still allows the upgrade later.
5	Tub or shower	Tub for sure.	A 170 × 75 tub in the family bath, under the window.
6	Wall bed or sofa bed	Show both.	Both are drawn, with the Office switch above the plan and a comparison below.
R3	Office guest bed	Sofa bed.	Sofa bed on the west wall, with a 160 × 200 bed when it's open.
R3	Kitchen glass	Fluted, oak frames.	All 7 panels are drawn as fluted glass in oak frames.
R3	TV on the office wall	OK with acoustic lining.	Acoustic lining added behind the media wall.
R3	Lobby doorway	Flush hidden door.	A hidden door, flush with the wall on the reception side. It opens outward so the lobby keeps room for the cabinets. The guest WC door now opens inward.
R3	Desk and piano	Desk in the far-right corner as you enter. White digital piano on the right wall between dining and reception.	The desk is in that corner, facing the wall. The dining table turned to run across the room to make space, and the piano and bench sit on the west wall.
R3.1	Desk	Straight.	Straight desk, 166 × 54 cm, in the corner.
R3.1	Piano	Yamaha (photos).	Yamaha Arius in white, drawn at 136 × 42 cm with its bench.
R3.1	Garden	Design it.	Garden designed: see "The garden" below, and walk it in 3D.
7	Where the baby sleeps	Bedroom 2 is the kids' room for the next 10 years.	The bassinet is out of the master. The kids' room is drawn now (toddler bed and cot) and in about 5 years (two beds and two desks).

Stage 02 · Garden

The garden: a play lawn and a hosting terrace

The garden faces south-south-east onto the compound's walkway and courtyard, with building 10 about 30 m across and your own block carrying on past the reception. So the design puts shade where people sit, screens the walkway without losing the view, and keeps the open lawn for the kids.

Terrace (6.86 × 3.30 m, 4.79 m deep in front of the reception)Porcelain at the same level as inside, running back to the planting bed, under a bronze aluminium louvred pergola (or the motorised shade A). It covers the outdoor lounge in front of the family living room and a dining table for 10 in front of the reception. The louvres block the view down from the apartment block.
Three ways to shade itUse the Garden shade switch above the plan, or in 3D. Pergola: the bronze louvred pergola over the terrace, always there, with louvres you can tilt. Motorised shades: two zones, each on its own motor with a remote and a wind sensor. Shade A is a retractable fabric roof on a slim bronze frame over the living and reception terrace, the same footprint as the pergola. Shade B is one cassette awning across the whole bedroom façade, about 7.5 m wide and 3 m deep, over the kids' room and the office. It needs a long-span model with three arms. Roll them out in summer and in to let the winter sun in. None: an open garden, with the shutters doing all the work. On summer middays the terrace is in full sun.
Outdoor kitchenA 2.4 m counter with a BBQ, sink and prep space, just outside the pergola so the smoke stays out from under the roof. Useful for the two big feasts a year.
Play lawn (9.34 × 3.30 m)Soft lawn outside the kids' room and office, with a timber deck at each sliding door and a playhouse you can see from the island and the family sofa.
Boundary: private, but you still see outNothing is built yet. Along the walkway and the end of the block: a 45 cm stone plinth, which doubles as a planter edge and a seat, with deep vertical fins in wood-finish aluminium up to 1.80 m. The fins are 100 mm deep with 50 mm gaps, so you only see through them straight on. From the sofa you look out through them, but people walking along the path see them at an angle and mostly see a solid screen. They also hide the headlights from the car-park ramp. Along the next-door garden: a solid 1.80 m rendered wall with climbing jasmine, because there's no view to keep there. Planting inside the fins stays low so the view stays open. In winter the boundary shades the outer 2 m of the garden around noon, dappled through the fins, while the terrace by the glass stays in the sun. The 3D model shows it.
Master courtyardThe side garden becomes a private gravel courtyard with a deck at the master bedroom door, a lounge chair, and a slatted screen from the main garden. Its planting comes later.
Levels: step-free, and water stays outNo steps anywhere. The terrace finishes 1–2 cm below the inside floor, which you won't feel. A slot drain runs right outside each garden door, the waterproofing turns up behind the door sills, and the paving falls away from the house by 1 in 80 (about 5 cm over 4 m). The lawn sits 3–5 cm below the paving behind a steel edge, so irrigation water and soil stay off the terrace. A perfectly flat threshold with no drain is what floods rooms, even in Cairo: irrigation, hosing the terrace and the odd storm.
To confirmThe compound's rules for the pergola or the motorised shades (shade B fixes to the façade) and for the boundary: height, fins and wall. Many compounds cap solid fences lower and allow hedges higher. If so, we keep the plinth and fins lower and let a hedge make up the height.

Stage 02 · Sun and orientation

The garden faces south-south-east

Measured from the satellite view at 30.0115° N, 31.5091° E: the garden façade faces 155°, turned 25° towards the east from the due south the drawing's arrow suggests. The chart is drawn the same way up as the plans, with the garden at the top. The shaded half of the sky is where the sun reaches the garden glass. The 3D walkthrough now uses this real sun: pick a date and slide through the day.

21 June 05:58–19:53 21 March 06:01–18:02 21 December 06:50–16:54
Dots every hour, clock time. 23 September follows the March path, an hour later on the clock (summer time).

Summer: morning sun, shaded afternoonsOn 21 June the sun is on the garden glass from 06:17 to 13:50, then swings round to the solid west wall. At midday it is almost overhead (83°), and in the morning it comes in at a glancing angle from the east, so little of it gets far into the rooms, even without a balcony above. Facing due south, as drawn, it would have had the sun from 10:11 to 15:41, through the hottest hours.
Winter: sun on the glass most of the dayOn 21 December the sun is on the garden side from sunrise to sunset (06:50–16:54), only 37° high at noon. Building 10 across the garden takes about two hours of it in the morning (see below). The rest of the day it reaches deep into the bedrooms and the living room: free warmth in the cool months.
Spring and autumnOn 21 March the glass gets sun from 06:01 to 15:07, 60° high at noon.
Master bedroom door: early sunThe glazed door to the side courtyard faces south-south-east like the other garden doors. In summer the sun reaches it from about 6:30, and the kids' room shades it after about 1 pm. Its shutter has tight slats for a full blackout.
Shutters on every openingAluminium roller shutters with the box hidden in the lintel: motorised on the garden doors, motorised or strap on the small windows. The master-bath window (west-south-west) gets the most summer afternoon sun, about 7 hours on 21 June. The schedule is in the design package, and the 3D model can open, half-close or close them all.
The breeze comes from the northCairo's prevailing wind blows from the north and north-west. The service façade with its high windows faces 335°, straight into it, so opening those and the garden doors cross-ventilates the whole apartment.
Your block: shaded summer afternoonsYours is the end apartment of building 9: five floors above you, no balconies, and the block carries on past the reception for well over 100 m. On summer afternoons it shades the garden. On 21 June the lawn outside the kids' room goes into shade at about 14:39 and the terrace outside the living room at about 14:49. On 21 March the terrace goes into shade at 15:21 and the lawn at 15:31. In winter the sun stays on the garden side, so your block never shades the garden.
Across the garden: building 10Past the walkway, the courtyard and the car-park entrance, building 10 is six storeys like yours, its façade about 30 m from your living-room glass (your Google Maps measurement, checked against the compound masterplan). In summer and at the equinoxes the sun is too high for it to matter. In winter the morning sun is low in the south-east, so it shades the terrace and the living-room glass from about 08:10 to 10:10 on 21 December. After that you have sun until sunset. In the satellite photo the plot is still a site yard, so this comes from the masterplan. The 3D model has all the neighbours: switch Neighbours on and walk out into the garden to see them.

Stage 03 · 3D

See it, walk it, build it

The 3D model, the photoreal renders and the design drawings are all built from the same centimetre measurements as this plan.

Your first 19 photos and the panel-wall video · all 82 references are on the site's Materials tab

The style you're describing: warm minimal

Light oak joinery, warm white walls, handleless doors, soft rounded corners, and light coming from inside the joinery and the ceiling edges. The newer photos add mocha plaster with beige travertine, and sage with limestone. Your video adds the one big gesture: a slatted wood wall that opens and closes a room. The door-styles photo points to flush doors with shadow-gap frames.

Your video: a slatted wood wall that pivots and slides away to open the TV lounge. This is the closing wall for Option A.

Living: warm white walls, ceiling coves, linear AC slots, light herringbone oak, one curved wall.

Kitchen: handleless doors, oak shelves with built-in LED, rounded island end.

The house you visited: stone-top island with a lower oak table joined on.

Hidden scullery behind an oak panel door. This is your dirty kitchen.

Foyer: tall oak cupboard, lit open niches and a bench with shoe shelf.

Your turn

What I need from you

Walk the 3D model and tell me what feels wrong: sizes, what you see from each spot, what you see first as you walk in.
Materials and colours: which way do you lean for the floors, kitchen fronts and sofa fabrics? Light oak with warm white, or the mocha and travertine from your newer photos?
Planting: when you're ready, we'll choose the trees, the screen hedges and the courtyard plants together.
Anything from the video narration that I should know. I can see the video but can't hear it.

What the site video showed me

Walls are cement-block infill set in a concrete frame. That's good news for opening up the kitchen. It still needs the engineer's sign-off.
The ceilings are a flat ribbed slab with no beams crossing the rooms. There are deep beams only over the big garden openings. So coves and ducted AC can run cleanly.
The garden openings have a raised concrete edge, and the garden sits a little lower than the floor. We'll build the garden up to a step-free threshold with a slot drain at each door.
The garden is overlooked by the floors above, the rest of your block and, 30 m across, building 10. The pergola or shades and the boundary fins handle it.
There's a service shaft in the maid and laundry area, where the utility sink, dishwasher and washer can drain.

I can see the video, but I can't hear the narration. If you said anything important in it, please send it as a short text.
