all the glass seems to be on the cold side of the house and the northern hallway is blocked by storage...what is the climate for your area? would love to study the plan more closely but enlargement obscures the writing and measurements..please post another version of the plan in several sections so we can read the writing

Hi there, I think your powder room WC is in a bad position, if you moved that you could have a better larger combined Laundry Pantry,Mudroom ie: laundry one side and pantry on the other which would back onto the kitchen you could also have direct access to outside from this. I agree that you could do better with the main bathroom and not have toilet squished behind the door, maybe move it next to the bath shower room either beside the vanity and change the glass screen to the opposite side or place the toilet on the wall opposite the vanity and next to the shower screen with a small wall on the other side of the toilet for privacy.

Love the shower bath combination cheers

Just some rough ideas for you the powder room could be moved to the other end of the study and accessed from the passage, don't think the study needs two doorways cheers

the rooms are very generous and, assuming that plumbing is aready in the existing floor and would be costly to rearrange, my suggestions include rearranging the bedroom doors for improved traffic and furniture placement, creating a separate toilet and vanity area for the family bathroom, increasing the size of the showers and vanities to be more in scale with the size of the rooms, opening the ensuite to more direct access to the deck and including biw to complement the wiw.

it could also be worthwhile to have access to the toilet and laundry from the family room deck to outside and access to the deck from the study, enlarge the entry space and use some of the laundry as a mudroom and, if it's not too late to change the internal steps, move them further away from doorways to avoid trip hazzards

just a quick up date on my previous sketch, have you started building yet.

a couple of photos of an architect designed mid century australian home with a desk in the kitchen,

great, has the plumbing already been installed as there could be some other options but it's always good to have external access to a place to walk in with dirty shoes, to have an air lock to save letting out all your heat and have outside access to the toilet through the rear or front entries but hope you notice that this is at the expense of the original built in shelves in the family room and increases the family room deck to allow for the doorways to the rear mudroom (and bonus external sliding door off the study) btw i've also enlarged the south entry foyer to allow for enough space to walk through with the door open and for several people to stand there at once and strongly suggest you consider sliding cavity doors (full height?) to separate the front entry from family room and family room from bedrooms to zone sound and heating..should be a gorgeous house

Love long houses, do you have any profiles that you can share, cheers

Would you consider running a walkway from the master deck (2 to the rear deck (1 to connect them all and not have need for the steps off the master, reduce steps? Or connect the steps from Master B to Family steps, making one set of long floating stairs, I will post a photo later today

Hi there Michael, Getting back to outdoor stairs, I'am not sure how many steps you are having and if you have small children. The following photos are of a project we did approx 15 yrs ago and an Architect friend suggested that we do "floating Decks" with no railings this worked out really well as the steps created a very simple look and extra seating when needed . they are beachside holiday Villa's cheers

I would still prefer to have the North facing exterior access from the laundry pantry a narrow deck from there to rear deck would work well. perhaps just link the Master bed deck to the Lounge deck instead of lots of separate steps
