Couple of things... The small nib wall left from removing the rumpus room door in the hallway, the nib on the kitchen side... I'd remove that... Maybe push the master door back into the room a little, in line with the bed 2 wall, otherwise you'll have this little nook that is wasted space. A longer hallway there will open the house a little... What about a sliding door off the family room to out the back also? Only thing is, make it the same size as the meals door... With the master bed doors, it may look a little funny to have french doors when the rest of the house is sliders at the back... I'm not sure what the purpose of having the french doors in the rumpus is... Maybe look at making the two windows in that room 1800mm high, rather than a door... Not sure which way the home theatre is going to be layed out, but i'd swap the location of the rumpus and theatre storage areas... That way the doors aren't so obvious in the rumpus room when you enter the house... Also beaware of the kitchen breakfast bar if you plan on having a cantilever bench.... Little kids running around that corner will knock their head everytime! I'd suggest a full panel on each end to prevent that! Possibly make the kitchen window larger... I'd almost make all the windows/doors in the kitchen/meals/family area the same size... 2100mm... The bedroom windows look like they are 1500 wide... I'd go for bigger on those... 1800mm minimum, possibly even 2100... With the rumpus room window/door combination, I'd centre it about the room internals, like the home theatre is... With bathrooms, have a think about where you will hang the towels... Sorry if I'm throwing so many little things at you... I've been in the process of drafting my own plans for the last 2 years, and keep making slight improvments along the way. I think you've got a good workable layout that can service a family well! Keep us updated on the progress... When are you planning on building? Electrical Engineer... Don't hold that against me... And keen owner builder... Mainly the building part!!
