Please critique this floor plan by Max Fulbright

11 years ago

About to buy the Asheville Mountain floor plan and will be doing several modifications. Would love some of you experts to chime in on the current design. I will be removing two doors from the rear main floor and terrace level. I will also be expanding the great room by 4ft on the width. This rear of the house will be facing a small lake.

I will also be adding 2ft to the length of the master bedroom, and removing the Golf garage and making a mud room.

The two up stair bedrooms will be removed and only the loft will remain up there. Will add the add bedrooms to the basement with a jack and jill bath connected the two.

Both porches will be screened in.

Thanks in Advance!

How will this all effect the elevations? At what point might it be cheaper to have the house drawn from scratch?

Very minimal affect on the elevation drawings. With these changes it's still about $2000 cheaper than a custom plan. Max will be doing the modifications.

It's a very pretty plan! But the kitchen could use some work and the dining room looks a little small. Are you sure you want to pay for stairs and all the extra living space on 2nd floor, just for a loft?

If you eliminate the bedrooms, your roof lines sound like they would be changing. And where is the 4' you plan to add to the great room going to go in the front of the house? Bigger foyer?

Have you considered taking these plans in as a starting point and having someone draw up a new home plan....just for you? It might be better in the long run.

Also think about the kitchen layout (which could be better) not to mention the corner range, the angled island and what looks like sharp corners. My hips hurt just looking at that kitchen! Sorry, but I'd be banging into those island corners all the time :)

My advice...take this plan over to the kitchen forum, before you do anything else.
