please include bigger room dimensions (or list width and length of each room) and also add downstairs floorplan

Why do you need a 2 sinks. I would use the desk at the master entry as a makeup station to do hair etc so appliances are not near water and the partner can use the bathroom while I’m doing hair and makeup.

@oklouise Hi louise, how does downstairs plan affect this?

@Kate i prefer having my own sink and feel i should be able to fit one in the main bedroom.

My main issue with that area being a dressing area is that natural light would be behind me which is a problem I currently have at my place.

details of whole plan including downstairs can often suggest a range of other options (eg reversing the stairs might have allowed for more space in the master ens for a separate toilet room) but, with available information my suggestions include an alternate entry for master bedroom, rearrange living area, twin vanity and toilet space (may need careful toilet location to allow for bulky corner?) and a wet room with space for a generous shower and built in bath but suggest that you add solar skylights to improve lighting in all small rooms

Would you consider swapping ens with wir? then it would work.

maybe a better option with a double shower and bigger built in bath and shower seat extended to set down space at the end of the bath

Hi @oklouise

Thank you so much !

I love both bathroom options

As for the solar skylights to improve lighting- totally agree with you on this if plans allow for it.

regarding downstairs and basement. Ive attached photos below but the staircase is already in unfortunately so i dont think we can change that easily.

Regarding toilet- it sort of looks like there would only be 60 cm of space which is very tight!

basement

ground floor

check with your designer and builder about the corner obstruction but, allowing for the extra space created by removing the wall between original ens and entry room, the whole space should be about 3850 and enough for a 1200-1400 x 500 wide vanity with matching mirror doored wall cabinet, 900 x 800 toilet space, 1650 x 1400 walk in shower with hinged glass, 1600 x 800 built in bath with glass panel between toilet and end of bath plus about 2200 x 1300 free floor space in front of the vanity and toilet with easy reach for generous towel rails and suggest that wall hung toilet and vanities will improve the spacious fee

no need to change the stairs for enough master ens space although some ground floor space could be included to enlarge the office and bathroom under stairs but have the other upstairs bathrooms already been completed?

@oklouise

Thank you! You're so good at utilising space ☺️

Its currently just the shell so i have the option to move walls at the moment, just think the staircase would be a big job at this point.

I wanted to use under the stairs for storage as there isnt much storage space

This is the whole plan for ground floor.

Ive also struggled with planning the space around the two columns in the reception dining area. Whether it is better to partially block this or not. The plan was to have arches.

Thanks again :)

@Jane M.

Im not overly fond of walking through a bathroom to get to my wardrobe. Probably just not something im used to.

unable to read dimensions please share close up of sections or list length and width of all rooms

@oklouise does that help?

that does help a little but is this a renovation of an existing house or possible changes to partially built new home?? approx room sizes suggest lots of alternate ideas but always depend on number and ages of those who will live in the house, local climate, orientation, size of block, views and how you want to use every room...some ideas include a more spacious kitchen, dining and family room with the central posts used as a feature with opt pantry or alternate bathroom and office....existing enclosed kitchen used as a media room and original dining area could be enclosed with sliding doors to create a quiet sitting area, hobby or games room and the guest suite and powder room could be more comfortable and there's storage added in most rooms

That works, much better flow and use of space

@oklouise this sent me down a rabbit hole 😅. Its a great plan but unfortunately an open plan kitchen would not work for me in this case. I considered extending the kitchen to include the guest toilet space and to move the guest toilet to where the office is (possibly split this space to be a toilet and a pantry opposite?)

I am concerned the kitchen is quite small otherwise

To answer your questions:

-its a partially built home (shell has been built but internal walls can be changed still).

=The aim is for the house to be for a family of 4 with room for guests to come and visit.

-Local climate Hot and dry for most of the year with desert cold short winters.

-Orientation: front of house is East and back of house is West

-I could not tell you the size of the block, i currently only have the plans for the house not the land. There is a decent size garden at the back of the house.

-Its cultural to host large gatherings where i am, hence the large reception and needing the kitchen separate.

- when you say the posts could be used as a key feature? do you know where I could find example of these, the ones i find all look like im in a hotel lobby

always best to have the floorplan that suits your family and lifestyle and if you check photos of columns, posts and pillars on HOUZZ there are numerous ideas that might suit to disguise the necessary structural posts as decorative features keeping in mind that your structural engineer and builder will provide best advice about size and location but decorative affects are limitless....
