I like the layout in 1 and 4 is 2nd preference. With 1 as preference, but this has entry to master at diff pt in house and diff wir. Reasons:
Bathroom zoning is better with vanity clear of wet zones
Entry is not onto shower.
With 1 you could put a door on bedroom if you have one getting up sleeping and another bathing and dressing keeping light and sound more separate.
1 not looking into toilet from entry of en-suite.
Better wall space for towels for wet area

is this a proposed new build or renovation of an existing house as we need to see a plan of the whole house including any existing master suite to be able to understand the new master suite in relation to the rest of the house

Proposed new build. I’ll upload a plan, thanks

Layout

version 1 is the best choice for privacy, comfort and convenience of the master suite but location of large powder room could be improved..if you were to move the family bathroom closer to the family room and have the three bedrooms together ...you could lose the extra powder room and have more space for the living areas but i need dimensions of the rooms to be able to draw a better plan but consider something like this

What is this area in entry. It is a little complex pathway. Also family bath the separate toilet needs a basin

Hello Katherine, Mrs Peace, (love your name!) Few things about your plan: Which way is north? I hope it is to the space behind the garage for sun in the living areas. Can the garage go on the boundary and give you another meter for the house? A roller door and or pedestrian door to the rear will assist with putting out bins, gardening in & out etc. What if you put entry next to garage so you do not loose all that space in just passage ways? Then the social room beside entry and master in the corner is more private. The family room might win an inch or two as well! Can you move the back hall over a tiny bit so that the bedrooms is at least 3 meters wide...any smaller is a very small room even with a bigger robe. Might be better with bathroom and loo beside family room and beds all at the back: more private. I would have bathroom first beside family then loo and bring bathroom & toilet doors to hall and add vanity in powder room: SO handy for everyone: guests and family alike and you would not need the other powder room by the lounge. Now to the ensuite: As it may fit better on the bottom right corner of house you will have more options too. It can have the hallway, powder room area with more privacy. Love to see how you go from here..... Cheers Margot

Thanks oklouise - will try upload a plan w h dimensions.

Thanks kate. The entry at the end of the hallway will have shelves and a mirror or a bench seat, with the little alcove outside the theatre planned to be a bar recess. The doorway/hall isn’t the most straight forward but wasn’t sure what else to do there to make the most of the living areas

Thanks CP! Will update this threat when we make some changes

Thanks Margot, north is to the right of the plan above, but the master and theatre (east) face natural bushland, and the master is not to the right of the design due to cars entering on each street coming towards that corner (street to front and right). Being a corner block we wanted to keep as much privacy for the master if possibly. We plan on a full fence to enclose the back bedrooms and following that a white picket fence or other permeable fence around to the front, with trees planned on the north and east sides. It can get quite hot in summer here so not hugely worried about heat and sunshine etc. Also wanted the master to face the natural bushland. The garage could go on the boundary, though adds more cost and there is a small power dome so the driveway would need to curve around that.

We have taken on board feedback for the bedrooms and powder at the back. Will have a play around and see what we can shift to make the bedrooms bigger etc.
Thanks so much for the help :)

siriuskey/differentways

this was done late on Thursday but with my birthday yesterday and fathers day today it was pushed aside until I saw your post with important extra details like position, aspect etc.

I was still unable to read any dimensions which makes this drawn with artistic licence.

This is a basic floorplan, bathrooms can be fitted as needed. highlight windows to the north if traffic noise from that side is unwanted

I have swapped the courtyard,Master and Media before seeing your last post, the media and master can still be swapped back with access into the Media where I have placed the desk

Our house has the garage on the angle with the court between it and the entrance, it works beautifully by opening up that space and introducing a ton of natural light

Great idea to have enough access down the side for the necessary water tanks.

Anyway some extra thoughts for you to consider while celebrating Fathers Day

These are slightly updated. We have also considered removing the powder room near the theatre and making the bar recess within the theatre, and hallway more aligned and straight forward. Not sure where to from here. Thanks for all the advice and help so far!

Thanks differentways, have attached a layout with dimensions. Noise won’t be the issue to the north and east as not many houses past or behind us, it’s mainly the lights from cars coming up the road on the right which would come through the windows in the master if it were on the right corner. Wanted some privacy for the master too, particularly as we want the part of the north (from living areas) and around to the front of the house to be open, without a fence. Will be using a permeable fence or white picket fence from the living areas to the front. Nice natural bushland across the road east facing which would have a nice outlook from the master being to the left closer to the garage

Happy birthday Differentways. And happy Father’s Day to all dads.

Katherine, re entry what about swapping door to theatre room so it is off entry, hall continues straight. And a hallWay to the right to the toilet includes bar and bench seat.

Bedrooms don't need views as do living spaces you sleep in bedrooms which are mainly used at night when there's no view unless it's a lit up city skyline

You would still keep the bedroom widows to the east as you already have so no difference there

. By having the garage then courtyard opening up to the entrance with large full height pocket doors into the media/living you add some wow factor to that space, first impression. Instead of using the private courtyard to look at on the occasions that you take a bath, is a wasted opportunity.

. I can also imagine watching football or a movie on a hot night with the pocket doors open along with the sliding (screened) doors to the courtyard.

These are just ideas for you to consider as you will have the final say and choice cheers

Good ideas kate thank you!

Thanks differentways. Lots to consider! Thanks

If you use steel posts for picket fence, well cemented in.........
