I see you also put your plans on another thread. It just gets messy when people reply if it's not clear what plan is being commented on. If you start your own thread (probably in new home thread) you can just change the title as your planning and build progress. People can then follow you easier. Thank you for pointing out. I am very new to this forum. I get your point. I put it here hoping this was the common thread (like Whirlpool) where everyone just shares their floorplans and all people following this thread get to see & comment on new floorplan. Anyway I will create a new post and remove one from thread. There is a common floorplan thread somewhere on here. If you can find it & revive it that would be good. Re: Floor plan feedback please 20Aug 06, 2020 5:11 pm Hi amms , I'd thought I had a go at your plans for another thought process to consider hot west facing bedrooms comments here while keeping your original brief. So by swapping bed 3 & 4 with media, it could potentially provide a better outcome for the rest of the areas, except I didn't like the line of sight of kitchen island from entry. So maybe a nice feature steel glass barn door here creating the opportunity to close off the rear living zone to reduce heating/ cooling load. B3, bathroom, B4 ,WIR, powder are all the same sizes. Media, laundry, kitchen and court are slightly bigger. Study and pantry slightly smaller. Suggesting converting corridor linen to a walk-in-linen, or a mudroom with garage access. Unfortunately there are no more walk-in-library but loved the idea of a full height feature wall library behind the study desk like shown. As you can see, I like to align walls. There are structural efficiencies in them but visually can be aesthetically pleasing. Correct me if I am wrong, the central entry into master/ study appears intentional like a feature? I tried to get rid of the double corridor and recess in both doors but if a direct access into the study required, a secret hidden door from WIR could be a cool feature lol. Lastly, one of the ways to get passive solar heating for your south facing living areas are skylights. I have shown it above the kitchen island. Its definitely a grand statement but only if budget permits! Just make sure it has blinds for summer. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ All the best and good luck with finalizing your plans! JL Hi there! Absolutely agree on the wasted space. We have no desire for the master to be that oversized, but it occurred when we increased the depth of the garage.
