Hello! We bought a tiny 24x40 cottage that we have gutted. I had to fit a ton into this small space and can’t leave any of it out. I’d love to see if anyone thinks this layout just won’t work!! It is not my final drawing (learning as I go & it got rained on) but it is to scale 1/4”=1 ft. I have a small master, boys bunk room and tiny room for my daughter too. 1.5 baths (trying to fit small shower in half bath but not positive). The back hall I originally had a door that would lead to a future back screen porch but thought storage/closet space may be more useful and with the house being so small you can walk around from the side exit. Rooms were planned to give woods view along the back of the house and small lake view from the master. The stairs will lead up to a loft space with low ceilings- like 5’- planning on a couch, tv and table for games up there for kids only.
Question 2- looking at marvin essential, elevate or kolbe forgent windows. Black exterior and either white, black or preferably untreated wood interiors . Want casement but I’m nervous about future deck that has not been planned yet. Does anyone have casement near their deck and it’s not a big deal? Had anyone ever heard of Lang windows too? Definitely a cheaper option. I wanted casement for looks and to allow max breeze- I hate ac. Any advice/feedback 😊
