New house plan

5 years ago

I’ve recently gotten into home design. I’m no architect but I am fascinated by house plans. I am a real estate agent in Oklahoma and plan to get into home building and development in the future. When I’m drawing new house plans I normally get inspiration from a facade of a building or a room, and start from there. This plan below is something I’ve been working in for about a year now. Majority of the plan is a copy of a home I sold this year that I fell in love with. So much that I would love to build my modified version of it. It’s a rather large home, but I am in the planning stages. I want to have most of it worked out before I present it to an architect. What do y’all think? Do I have something here? Any suggestions?

7 bedrooms, 8 bathroom

An attached second story guest apartment with 1 bedroom and another bathroom.

One thing I’ve thought about editing on the plan is bedroom #1. I plan to remove the walk-closet to the bathroom, and open the walls to make a hall way to the gym. I would make bedroom #1 a study. The study off of the master I would make a walk in closet for the master.

    Who will be living in the house? What are your goals for it? Is it for you? What is the space with the blue dot? What is the site like?

    I'm sorry this just isn't good. At all.

    First of all you want all public rooms and bedrooms to have windows on 2 walls for natural light. You do this by making the house only 1-2 rooms deep. You have 7 rooms deep by 3 rooms deep. You also do so by designing a house that is either an I, H, L, U or T shape

    The foyer is larger than the bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and living room?

    The dining room has absolutely no natural light and is in the middle of the house?

    The master suite will hear noise from the study, people walking past to go to the bedrooms and from the family room.

    Most laundry is produced in bedrooms yet the laundry room is at the far other end of the house.

    How do you get from the kitchen to the dining room?

    The only way to get from the 3 car garage to inside the house is through the laundry, then the secondary dining area and finally through the kitchen.

    To get to the guest house, you have to go into the garage? No exterior way to get upstairs?

    Add to that you have what appears to be a very contemporary look but the rooms are all closed off from one another which is not contemporary. It's traditional and sorry, it's poorly done.

    I'm sorry but this shows you don't know what you don't know. I suggest strongly you stick to what you do and let architects do their job.

    There's a lot more I see wrong but with you making them voting instead of putting the photos in the post, it's too hard to see

    Yes it’s my first post. I’m new to this app. I just reposted it so everyone can see it.
