Rotated

Here I've lowered the 1st floor ceiling.

You have way too many materials on this house - it makes the house look choppy. All those various roof lines do the same.

Why on earth would you want 11 ft ceilings? It will be hard to heat/cool, and there will be echoes. Typically, this is done as an attempt by the builder to make a small room look larger. Does it work? Well, until one tries to fit furniture in the room!

This house is a hot mess If it's not already under construction, start over. Quit worrying about the house looking "cool". It should look attractive, warm and inviting and fit in with the surrounding land. Buy a new shirt if you're looking for "cool"...

Is this plan set in stone?

What does the floor plan look like?

I'm guessing the house will be dark on the interior.

OK, Steve...if you want considered comments, it's time for you to find a way to post the photos correctly...:-)

Steve, incorrect orientation for posted photos often happens as the result of photographing the original in a portrait mode, rather than in a landscape mode. As I've learned the hard way, there may be other reasons based on your camera source and it's "normal" shooting orientation.

To cut to the chase, if your photos don't load in the proper orientation, you need an editing program to rotate your photos 90-degrees and save them in that orientation. Load those photos, and not the original photos.

Perhaps someone more knowledgable about photography and Internet uploads will come along and help both of us.

If you're using your cell phone, you should be able to open each photo in your phone and rotate it to display appropriately.
