Can you add dimensions. You should do furniture layout, including games room to make sur3 it meets your needs. Do you hav3 bathroom and kitchen layouts?
Kids toilet doesn’t look big enough for basin which it needs

Yes can do. I’ll add furniture layout as well. Will add in basin for kids toilet as well

Great, it’s all personal choice.
You have a very large family kitchen space. Make sure your wir in master is equally generous.
In kitchen I am wondering about the peninsula with seating. It is a long way from the action. There are options all with diff impacts.
Extending island and adding seating there. Coffee station, small table. A friend has both of these with coffee and I mean serious coffee at end of her island where she has an adjacent sink, and then a round table under window which she uses to set out salads or deserts when entertaining, I would certainly omit angled corner cupboards and have the blind corner a cupboard accessed from seating side. This could be a wine fridge!

It looks alright but not very inspired or future-proofed. You didn't say where, for latitude/climate. With acreage I think it should be possible to make use of both easten views and northern free warmth and energy. I'd want a proper mudroom.

Get professional help... even if its for just the concept plan... money well spent.... as others have said.. you have an ample site and great views... your plan is meh!
PS.. a great brief results in a great design... you are only telling half the story... any good design needs to consider context...views, wind, sun, vegetation, access, privacy, exposure, topography..budget, materials., family size, age, guests, etc etc you cannot evaluate a plan only an internal layout..

I'd look at swapping Master area with the other bedrooms.

Oklouise, this is amazing. And I love your changes. I guess our plan wasn’t very prelim and still working out these changes. I agree with a toilet access near the garage/laundry is great as the shed will be placed out there. I love your changes to the kids bathroom. That what was in my head but you’ve done it!!

I think Louise has done an amazing plan. That is so nice of her to do that! The number one thing I didn’t like in your plan was how you had the kids’ bedrooms, bathroom and toilet directly off that living area. That’s one of my pet peeves. I much prefer a hallway off a living room so that the bedrooms etc are separate, as Louise has done.

On Louise’s plan, my only comments would be:

1. In the ensuite, how do you get to the bath by the window as the shower is in front of it and I assume it has frameless glass around the shower?

2. I’m not totally keen on having a mudroom at my front door. We live on acreage too and unfortunately we don’t have a mud room but if I was to have one I’d probably prefer it near my laundry. That way I can keep a nice, clean front entry for visitors. That’s just my preference though. I certainly don’t hate Louise’s idea.

3. I love how the pantry also the cavity door into the hallway as you could access it quicker when coming from the garage. The other thing to consider though is that doorway will take away cupboard/bench space but if you don’t need it, the door is a great idea.

I agree with previous comments though. Definitely get professional help from a drafts person or architect to ensure whatever design you decide to go with works for your land. Good luck with your build.

Guest toilet? You wouldn't want them going through to the kids' bathroom, and I can't see another one anywhere other than in the ensuite?

Claire Ravlich..there is space for a powder room near the laundry and thankyou monthomas..i also prefer bedrooms and bathrooms off the hallway and this doesn't take space away from the kids' lounge area, the access to the ens bath is designed as a walk in wet floor with only a short glass panel between the shower area and vanity (they could also consider having the bath and shower rotated so that there could be a sliding external door at the end of the ens and walk through the shower area (without any glass screen) to access outdoors but wet floors require special floor preparation during building ..and the odd location of the mudroom was a possible use for the extra space at the entry pending all the extra information we need before making any drastic alterations to the original plan but, living on acreage needs a different approach to houses built in the suburbs and in my experience the house should be spread out to take better advantage of the location, add more interest to the shape of the building and create more sheltered outdoor areas instead of formal entries but we need a site plan and local climate to make better suggestions

I would always plan for any toilet not to be on any connecting wall to a bedroom. Unless you have soundproofing a flush is always heard at night through walls.

i agree and showers are also noisy and that's why the kids' toilet and powder room is surrounded by biw and storage to insulate sound and we also use sound deadening insulation around all bathroom walls

I personally don’t like bathroom/laundry/carport windows on a facade. I’m curious what style build this is

Move the main bedroom door to the end of the passage. It will be more private and feel roomier.
