Review our floor plan - First Home Build

Hi All,

Firstly, I want to say that I absolutely love this forum and i've learnt a lot reading about all of your experiences and suggestions.

We are extremely close to the tender stage with Rawson Homes. I want to make sure we take the opportunity to receive as much advice as possible.

I have attached our floor plan and the brief is pretty simple: What would you change, think about or include?

Relevant Notes:
- Our block is South East facing
- Corner block next to a "collector road"
- Interested in maximising the natural light while taking into account that we want the house to be cool in summer and warm in winter

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

unable to read dimensions but my suggestions (subject to available space) would be to :
1. add a shower to the downstairs guest bathroom and use biw instead of wiw for more space in guest bathroom and bed 5
2. garage entry door opening into laundry/mudroom and then entry to central hallway and lose door into pantry
3. keep the pantry accessed only from kitchen and move sink and dw to outside wall
4. use biw instead of wiw for more spacious minor bedrooms
5. swop rumpus and bed 4
6 separate powder room and generous family bathroom for sharing
7. alternate master entry allows for lest wasted hallway and more bathrooms space

Thank you! This was really helpful. The only thing we didn't implement was the shower as we opted to use the space for a study niche instead. Thoughts?

definitely add shower to downstairs
you know there is a broken leg in your future
or at least old age

This is exactly what my mum said. Can't always get up those stairs...
