Is there a way of utilizing get_template_part in wordpress to load different layouts of posts using ajax? i.e grid/list

I'm trying to get custom posts to display in the optional view of grid/list (template-1 / template-2) however, the catch is that one of the views, (template-1) runs a shortcode to a contact form which means I need to alter the html including the classes for columns i'm using in bootstrap.

If anyone is looking for an answer to this, I found a solution over at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-get_template_part-with-ajax?replies=2#post-6386489. Although it is working, I'm not sure if my solution is definitely the most efficient. The most important parts are utilizing WP's native ajax functionality and hooking into it. Here are some articles:

Hello I actually have this going on my Photography website. You can load the photos in a gallery view or a list view by changing the URL Query: http://jarphotos.me/gallery/?view=grid http://jarphotos.me/gallery/?view=list

I can show you the code that did it.
