PlanA

Who is in each of the bedrooms? May help to know where you are thinking for your 2 children, Mum and mum-in-law, and who doesn't have ensuite access. Assume on plan A, bed 2 having direct access to two ensuite is a mistake and there is a solid wall not a door?

Good pick that's an error on the floor plan.. bed 2 on plan A will have only 1 access to ensuite shared with bed 5. What do u think on the master room n ensuite layout?

What happened to the toilets in the minor bathrooms?
Plan A master wir too small as is what I assume is bath under window
Plan B you need to seperate wir from en-suite or your clothes will go mouldy.
As I said earlier don’t try and make any of the minor baths semi en-suite. Shared access doesn’t work and is noisy as doors don’t limit sound as well as an insulated wall can.

Where does everyone go to the toilet!!!??? So everyone on that level has to traipse through master to go??

Not a fan of wardrobe off a bathroom due to damp and mold issues.

Not a fan of shared ensuite between bedrooms.

At the end of the day it needs to suit you, but it's definitely not a house that will sell easy further down the track.

Where are the TOILETS???

I still do not understand why you have to have direct access from bedrooms to ensuite with bed 5 and 2. The doors take up space in the bedrooms and the bathroom.

I don't like the layout for master on either plan. I know the original plan didn't suit as it was a 4 bed house and you need 6 bed (5 permanent and 1 guest) but I don't think customising it is working either. Are you locked in with current builder?

The toilet in both the baths will be there just that I've not added it on the plan since it was hiding the room dimensions.. I should have mentioned this in my post.. sorry abt that.

I'm locked in with the builder can't change builder.

@dreamer the only reason to have bathroom access via bed 5 and bed 2 is for the convenience of aging mum. My mum would prefer accessing the bathroom directly from the bedroom and my daughter wouldn't mind sharing the bath with her.

That's a very tiny bathroom if it's for an aging person. What happens when they need a walker or other aids?

The proportions of the house just seem very odd to me - tiny bathrooms and massive master.

noted... will see how can I change the bathroom proportions!

With bedroom 3 and 4 could add another door into plan as shown attached for privacy and delete the door from bed 3.

Did you not say in your previous thread that if needed the grandmothers could move to the ground floor guest bedroom? Which I remember trying to draw to your attention does not have ensuite access. I'd be trying to plan a ground floor apartment of sorts with ensuite for grandmothers rather than tacking on bedrooms and multiple tiny ensuites shared with children upstairs.

Where is the work from home space now?

How old are the mums? And are you currently living together as a family of 5, or will it just be from when the new house is built?
I have a lifetime of experience living in multigenerational houses and while there are many positives, it can be challenging. Separate bathrooms and each person's own private space are a priority in my household.

WHF space will now be in masters, will set up something there. Currently I've only my mum staying with us. Soon my mum-in-law will join us, it will be a permanent set up. They both are in their mid 60s.

The prob is I can't add another bathroom on top, can't take any space from rumpus. No mums would stay alone on ground floor unless needed due to health issues.

I will have to workout with whatever space I have on first floor.

So could be a 30 year commitment to have both mums living with you.
If you need to fit all sleeping areas in the first floor, I'm wondering whether your Mum and mum-in-law would share an ensuite (but making it bigger then current plan) and could use bed 3 & 4 and take the rumpus space (closing if off rather than open to hallway) for the two of them as their own sitting room. Basically creating a 2 bedroom + sitting separate suite and providing some privacy for them. From memory I think you have 2 living spaces downstairs which the children could use. And the children could use the other bathroom but make the opening from hall rather than their rooms.

Why would staying alone on the ground floor be alright if there are health issues? If it isn't acceptable now why will it be acceptable then?

Why do you need a rumpus room upstairs when you have so many living areas and a spare room downstairs?

How old are the children?

I really feel that this thread is going over exactly the same issues as posted by all of us on your other thread.
The same problems, master is too big when everybody else has to compromise greatly on bathroom space.

Example of thoughts from other post, which I still think is a better solution. But it is your house.

we need to see the floor plan for downstairs as well as upstairs to make more sense of the plan... it's still not clear how many rooms you need ...bedrooms for a master, mum, mother in law plus work from home space, two separate living spaces and kitchen, laundry and at least a powder room downstairs but how many separate bathrooms, how many children's bedrooms and how old are they and what is the problem with having a bedroom downstairs?
