You will benefit greatly by getting a local architect involved in your project.

What are the faint blue lines on your drawing?

Where will the house be located? Climate? Site? Where will you park the car? Will the front door be your everyday entrance? Where will you drop your jacket, purse, sunglasses, change shoes? Do you need a den or “away space”, or someplace to keep your records and pay bills? Do you store stuff, like seasonal decor, sports/activity gear, hobbies?

All public rooms and bedrooms should ideally have windows on at least 2 walls. When you put closets and baths on outside walls you can’t put bedrooms and public rooms on outside walls.

Meaning for example, a master closet doesn’t need to be on an outside corner

Thanks for the responses! Pantry question: There will be a door there from the hall way. Coat closet question: No closet needed, we live in the Caribbean, but I do want to have enough space for a bench wish some under storage for shoes. The front door will be our every day entrance with parking spots off to the left of the entrance door. No garage or winter considerations here.I would like an area to pay bills/office. Was thinking of using the laundry room as that space? We have plenty of storage for sports gear or Christmas decorations under the house. This is the top floor which is the main living space. The great room faces the ocean so lot of light!

@Mark Bischak, Architect the faint lines are the walls of the downstairs. This is a concrete build in the Caribbean. We have engineers and a building contractor that are making it structurally sound. What benefits do you think an architect would provide? Local architects charge a lot here, so trying to spend wisely. Thanks for your input!

A flat roof covers all of this? Seems like a lot of jogs this way and that.
