Definitely looks interesting.. Excited to see the finished space!

I'm going to take a different tack . You are doing quite a large project , and changing things around . To me , there is 1 glaring ommission -- there is only 1 toilet , and it is through the bathroom . I wouldn't even like that arrangement if I had 2 toilets , unless it was part of an en suite . Another slight problem is that your new green wall will mean everyone in the kitchen and lounge will have to head almost to the front door , and then down the hall , through the bathroom ( hoping no-one is using it ) to get to the toilet . So I'd start with a bigger piece of paper ( metaphorically speaking ) , look at where the plumbing and load bearing walls are , and use that as a starting point -- I'd start at the bathroom , and try and fit 2 toilets and a laundry across that back wall , obviously depending on the door and windows . OR maybe look at adding the green wall , BUT add a second bathroom , which may mean you can move the door to bed 3 , making bed 3 larger with an en-suite already there ? That creates problems though , as then the only real place with plumbing is around the laundry and kitchen , so you would possibly have a bathroom for the other 2 bedrooms 'back there' , which isn't ideal . The floorplan shows a patio -- but nothing seems to open onto that ? Can you extend the house ( not neccessarily immediately ) back there ? I've probably opened a can of worms , a lot depends on load bearing walls and even the floor construction ( can you get under the floor ? Is it wood or concrete ? etc ) , but to me , you want to look at the end game , then work backwards , then prioritise . Your present thoughts will generally improve the house , but create a couple of new ones IMO , so do you just do them , then sell ? Do you completely remodel ? Do you add more space ?

assuming accurate dimensions my suggestions include an alternate arrangement for the pantry allowing more space for the laundry mudroom and adding scale sized furniture with more comfortable walking spaces suggests different arrangements for the family room with only one external door from the dining room and a sun screened western wall for the alfresco...moving the powder room allows for more space in the family bathroom instead of cramping the ens and there's a study nook in the playroom to allow for the removal of the external wall without losing structural support but i strongly suggest that you do not attempt to create north facing clerestory windows as that would be extraordinarily complicated and expensive, create unnecessarily high ceilings and compromise the whole new roof that should be able to be more easily achieved with a simple minimum height skillion roof with raked ceilings sloped towards back yard and extra lighting can be supplied with generous roof windows in the living areas, ventilating skylights in the windowless rooms and transcluscent roofing panels over alfresco, carport and porch...this will be a very big expensive renovations but internal changes could be done in stages and consider flat pacs and/or free standing cabinets or vintage furniture (often cheaper than built ins or flat pacs) for some of the storage
