In the current plan, the ensuite on the northern wall is blocking the breeze and the light of the room. 1. we were thinking of the below changes, remove the walk-in wardrobe in the north wall and bring the ensuite forward next to the living area. hoping it will allow us to have a window on the north side. 2. Merge both the walk in wardrobe and have it either in the south wall or on the west wall. 3. we are concerned about the heat from the west wall, we want to reduce the size of the windows, increase the glazing and insulation R2.8 or more? let me know if there any ideas, the total area is 5.5M and 6.7M, I will have to accommodate a good-sized master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in robe for me and my wife). Looking forward for your suggestions.

Ensuite goes on south wall, entire width of master bed. Shower on left, dbl vanity in middle, toilet on right. Add window above toilet. Its kind of similar to what we built except we added a bath. Our ensuite dimensions are 4x2m. Your Entry to ensuite in centre.

Re: Feedback on 2story narrow house 19Apr 14, 2020 9:45 pm ddarroch Certainly don't want western windows in the master. Nice to have both north & south, for good cross ventilation. Am breaking my head to solve this puzzle, how do I have windows on both north and south walls at the same time fit an ensuite and 2 walk in robe or 1 large walk in robe. I was thinking to move the ensuite to where the walk in on the south side. And move both the walk in to the west wall. Sort of shield the bedroom from west wall and have walk ins behind the head board .... Thoughts?? Thanks again for this information.
