opinions needed on best housing set up for 2 bunnies

I am going to get something made to house 2 rabbits along the lines of a wooden dog run/kennel, eg, a wooden roof, back and sides with welded mesh on most of the front. I was going to buy a standard sized one, but it was an inch too big for the space I have - typical! The space I have available is 4 ft x nearly 8 ft. Which of the following would be best use of space for buns, an enclosed indoor section of 4 ft x 2 or 3 ft with a catflap to the run section which would be 4 ft x 5 or 6 ft or a six foot hutch just placed in the run on a stand which would mean the rabbits would have virtually 8 ft of run space? My other idea was a ramp going up to an enclosed indoor section of 4 ft x 2.5 ft so they get the full use of the space underneath? If I haven't confused you all, which do you think would be best? Thanks
 
Hiya,

Quite a few members have sheds with catflaps to a run, the benefit of that is you can sit inside in the dry and play with the bunnies.

Rabbits enjoy jumping on top of things so if you had a hutch at floor level rather than a ramp they'd sit on top too so they'd get as much space as if you had one of legs and they could sit underneath. So it doesn't make much difference :) It's a good idea to have atleast short legs so that the base isn't sitting on damp ground.
