If you flip the dining room and kitchen, you keep traffic from going through the kitchen all the time. From the kitchen you can see if the kids are going to make the school bus, and who’s going to be in time for dinner.

By the way. The way the living room and front are situated, your seating will be in front of the front door. Are you going to have glass in the door or foyer? In my living, my chair and some other seating are in a straight line from the front door, through the foyer, to me. I’d rather it not be that way. But we can’t figure out a better way to arrange the living room.

I would not like my laundry across the house from where most of the laundry is generated; the master suite.

I count 36 jigs and jogs and they add nothing except expense to the build

I post this all the time. Anything in bold really needs to be rethought.

The best houses orient the public rooms towards the south for the best passive solar heating and cooling (I don't know what direction your house faces but bolded this just in case.)

The best houses are L, U, T, H, or I shaped.

The best houses are only one to two rooms deep. And covered lanai, porches, garages, etc count as rooms in this case.

The best houses make sure kitchens have natural light, meaning windows so one doesn't have to have lighting 24/7 to use the kitchen. (And no, dining areas with windows 10' or more from the kitchen will not allow for natural light.) (I bolded this because the covered patio will not allow for much natural light.)

The best houses make sure all public rooms and bedrooms have windows on at least two walls.

The best houses do not if possible put mechanical rooms, pantries or closets on outside walls

The best houses do not have diagonal interior walls making for odd spaces.

The best houses keep public and private spaces separate.

The best houses do not have you walk through the work zone of the kitchen to bring laundry to the laundry room.

The best houses do not have the mudroom go through any of the work zones of the kitchen.

The best houses do not use the kitchen as a hallway to any other rooms.

The best houses do not put toilets or toilet rooms up against bedroom walls or public areas.

The best houses do not have walk in closets too small to stand inside.

The best houses have separation, such as closets, between bedrooms and between bedrooms and public rooms.

The best houses do not have roofs that are overly large, and dominate the exterior of the house.

The best houses do not have stick on exterior materials only on the front façade.

The best houses have an organizing “spine” so it’s easy to determine how to get from room to room in the house and what makes sense. Meaning they don’t have meandering circulation paths.

I had a similar issue with a floorplan i found on this same site and cpartist mentioned some flaws. 😊Currently redesigning to put the kitchen at the front of the house and get some east sunshine in the morning. I'm all about light and windows!

SO much wasted space with that hallway to the master. I would rather have a more convenient access to the closet then to have to walk that convoluted path through the hallways and bathroom. Mark out the journey if you're at the car and realize you forgot a jacket or something in the closet. Rework that whole area.

What do you like about this plan? Why this plan in particular? How does it relate to the site? Is option 2 an architect designing a home that fits your family needs and you building site?

I like the pantry/scullery that is located directly behind the kitchen. I like the dirty kitchen in back and clean kitchen in front approach.

Would like to remove dining room and have a nook off the kitchen. Would also like master bedroom on same said of the house as laundry, mud room, and garages.

Then this is not the plan for you. Keep looking, or have one designed for your wants, needs, site, and budget.

I like bathrooms that can be used without leaving the conversation in the living room.

(sarcasm)

So write up a list of your wants and things you like and find a talented residential architect to help you achieve your dreams. This is not it.
