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!
