I’m looking at the plan, but can’t find a fourth bedroom? I can find three bedrooms and a study. You said this was a four bedroom plus study home. The entry is very public, I would install a screen or wall to give some privacy to occupants from unknown people knocking on the front door.

Depending on the age of children, there is no sound barrier between bedrooms and living area upstairs. The upstairs living is basically a hall way to every where else. If the kids are teenagers or young adults, then you don’t want to be walking through their leisure area to your bedroom, or lying in bed while they are entertaining their friends. There is no privacy for bathroom uses for minor bedrooms. It would be good to know the ages of people who the home will be for.

A site plan would be good, are you planning a pool and what will you do for toilet facilities without having to travel through the house . The opening opposite the staircase should be double to open up to this to make this a feature in your Hamptons Coastal Cool Home

And why the driveway across the front of the house, do you want visitors and yourselves parking across the front entrance. We also need dimensions to make any workable suggestions, thanks

Dreamer: I guess the media room is the 'study'?

I quite like this plan, but it seems to be the Vegemite of house plans; you either love how open and communal it is, or you hate the lack of privacy and the fact every room apart from the study opens into a living space.

Where is “the park” and which way is north on your plan.?.

Some things to think about. Particularly your circulation downstairs. Plan out the living area then select the door locations to hall so that it creates logical walkways. The way it was set up it seemed like the front door was the garage door leading access into family room. That would compromise furniture placement imo.

Always keep in mind what you see when the front door is opened. In this plan you look directly at the corner wall between the kitchen and the Alfresco, a window would be good especially if there's a view through to the Park. Plus this being a new build and having to have a skylight in the upstairs living indicates a problem with light. I feel your KDR plan needs a lot of work, sorry

there needs to be furniture placed in all the rooms so that you can see the best location for doors and circulation space and what is the width and length of the block, direction of north and your best views...please describe your local climate and add the missing dimensions from both sides of the plans and is there a special reason why you have not used a straight driveway as there seems to be a lot of extra space used for the curved raised concrete driveway when there could have been a more spacious front garden??

Where are you building, in order to understand climate, and which way is north on the plans, to address light and energy efficiency?

The downstairs powder room shows a shower so it appears to be a bathroom however what purpose does it serve as there is no downstairs bedroom? I can't find the fourth bedroom either.

There are things that appear inconsistent, for example a way oversize kitchen complex befitting huge parties but no entry, nowhere for guests to take off coats etc, the luxury of not only two WIRs but a "make up" room also for the master suite, but the ensuite has only a single basin vanity and the wc is not separate.

What is the pupose of the nook? It doesn't look large enough for more than one person at a time so is it fulfilling a purpose for you?

Why are there so many AC ducts upstairs and none downstairs?

What is "organic" about it, apart from sales pitch?

It looks overly generous in some aspects while impractical in others. There is something to be said in these times for trying to build 'right size' rather than continuing to build houses which are the largest in the world, but even if that doesn't concern you, why build a large house which reduces or omits valuable features which would be expected in a house that size?

Get rid of the nook upstairs and extend the linen cupboard. I’m struggling to find good storage cupboards that are not in bedrooms or kitchen. Where would all your towels and linen go? The Christmas tree, suitcases, camping gear?

_freestanding tub on wet floor needs adjustable feet to allow floor to slope to drain

I can't really find anything much about this plan to be positive about.  It feels like you've plonked a list of rooms into an outline without any thought about how you will use the home. 

It needs serious reworking. The first thing I'd be considering is how to access your living spaces to maximise Northerly aspect and connection with outdoors (assuming you're building in a climate where this is desirable)

@oklouise....upstairs plan?

I'm not a massive fan of the Three Birds houses and the place they did with Metricon is smaller than yours but I think it's worth you looking at.

My feeling is that the floorplan doesn't flow as for what you have requested, The staircase to the bedroom floor is shown as having a narrow squ cut door opening from the family living which I think closes everything off. the following opens up the wall to the staircase which would have a large window and possibly have a void above allowing light back down into the stair well on both floors. I have moved the laundry and bathroom over to become part of the Mudroom, this gives access to the garage for arriving home with school kids making a dash inside before either heading to the kitchen or upstairs to their rooms. This still gives access from the Alfresco to the WC and laundry

The Garage is going to be difficult to back out of and then onto the street if it remains as suggested by your KDR, but then you are working with a block that slopes from the street up. I still don't understand where the Park view is from and where North is
