Floor plan layout for living/kitchen/dining level

last month

last modified: last month

Hello - can you help with this overall floor plan for a Queen Anne Victorian house in San Francisco. We will be taking it back to the studs so we can move things around.

Here's two options I created with Claude but I'm open to suggestions. I have a meeting with my architect next week so hopefully she will have some ideas.

Note: The house has other houses right beside it on both sides. There is a narrow alley on the left side of the house between us and the neighbours but obviously that doesn't get much light. So most of the light must enter from the back and the front. Upstairs are the bedoorm level and an attic level (so it's quite a big house).

We need to have a bathroom (with a small shower) on this level. But everything else is up for grabs. We don't need an office but obviously would like a family room, formal sitting room, dining and kitchen.

One of the most important issues is what direction does the house face and where does the light come from? Do you face south? North? I'd put the rooms you'll use the most in the spots with the most light. I'd think about how you use rooms. Do you eat all meals in the dining room or only dinner? How often do you use the dining room during daylight?

You have a room filled with stairs. Can you put your bathroom under the stairs? I'd put the stairs in the middle, so more rooms have light.

I'd have the kitchen dining at the back with a smaller snug living room at the front. Back for socialising. Front for movie watching. Bathroom and shower in the middle as they dont need the light as much. Love the fact you've used Claude for the 3D floor plan but I'd suggest switching to another tool if you want to edit your design without burning through tokens each time. I work at Arcadium 3D so I'd recommend that but there are others if you google.
