But the position of the door and basin seem better. Maybe change the direction the door opens.

Id love to see your revised layout taking some of these things on board! Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2154Dec 24, 2016 7:36 am Its definitely getting better! Are you drawing thee by hand or using a software package? Personally I would try to get away from following the angles. The triangular shaped plan is going to make everything more expensive to build and you end up with wasted/unusable and strangely shaped spaces Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2155Dec 24, 2016 3:28 pm I'm no expert but I agree with above. Maybe try staggering you rooms. The roof is also a major consideration and expense to oddly shaped buildings.

Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2159Dec 26, 2016 1:58 pm I didn't realise you were paying somebody to produce these designs for you. They are really not good enough and he is clearly not doing what you ask of him if he keeps producing these triangular shaped plans. His designs will end up costing you more money to build and you will have less usable space in your house. I think you need to find somebody who is a 'designer' rather than just a 'draftsman'. It might cost up a little more upfront but it will save you a lot of money in the long run Re: Custom Design floor plan thread post them here!! 2160Dec 26, 2016 2:08 pm architect_yourself I didn't realise you were paying somebody to produce these designs for you.
