it's too small to read

thanks. I'll have to figure out how to post it differently so it's more readable. I only have it in .pdf format.

I can't identify everything on the plan, so my comments may be a bit off:

- The house has a VERY complicated footprint, which will add to the cost of building ... without really adding any function to the house. I'd flatten out some of these jigs and jogs, and I'd reconsider the angled garage.

- In the mudroom /garage entry, if you switch the closet with the washer/dryer, you'll score two benefits: 1) You can vent the dryer directly to the outside, which is both cheaper and safer. 2) You can have windows above the washer/dryer, which will be pleasant in what could be a dark space.

- The toilet-in-a-closet looks very narrow and uncomfortable. Keep in mind, too, that these toilet doors are never actually closed, so this toilet closet is going to be the first thing you see when entering the bathroom.

- What's the point of dividing the master closet? Those dividers will make the large closet feel small and choppy.

- I like the idea of a bench by the front door, but this one seems to be in too deep a spot. I don't think it'll look comfortable.

- Why does an average-sized powder room have a teeny sink squished over in the corner?

- The dining room looks comfortable, and it will have the benefit of so much natural light! However, what's the second dining room table (or island?) right there? Why two?

- I generally love a kitchen booth, but this one is smack-dab in the middle of everything, and the result is that it forces the two cabinet runs to be too far apart, and the island is more of a hindrance than a help. When you have an eat-in spot in the kitchen, you want it to be on the edge, not in the middle.

thanks for the comments and sorry for such a small drawing. The garage needs to be angled due to the elevation of the lot and the building envelope. The area off the back of the kitchen is a built-in breakfast nook. The island shown in front of the kitchen is being removed as it's just odd. We plan on making the kitchen island counter height w/bar stools on one side. The big changes we are thinking about is to move the great room so you enter into it from the foyer. Move the MBR to the right of the great room when viewed from entry, and move the dining room and kitchen to where the MBR is now.

What do you like about this plan?

Try walking through it in your mind. I don't see very good flow.

It's going to be quite a hike from the garage to the Kitchen & Pantry when bringing in groceries!

There are a few details I like, but not the 'whole'. Start over.

Huge Foyer. Small Great Room. Huge Dining Room.

Weird Master Suite setup with doors and doors and doors and the toilet in the middle.

Family marches *through* Laundry.

Kitchen too wide -- many, many extra steps for the cook.

I am not sure I understand the changes you are proposing. They sound significant.
