@Kate you mean the original drawing not my markup. the original plan is oke then we thought just by removing the WIR at the master we can gain a lot of space in the Bed3, also create a WC(especially move the toilet out of the common bath) plus a larger master. more linen/storage space etc. bigger showers, vanity.

Just wanted to post the most recent plan that incorporates all of the suggestions that I have received from the very helpful people on the Internet! Changes made: - added an extra bathroom on far left of the house near kids bedrooms - changed the toilet/main bathroom to move the shower over to the toilet room so that we could have 2 separate kids showering at a time (without coming into our room - although that remains and option) - moved the door to the library so that it doesn't look into the toilets/bathroom - optimised the space in our bedroom by moving walk in closet and bathroom around. This modification even allowed us room for a tub in the bathroom a so thankful for that suggestion! Now we just have to find room in the budget lol Questions: - when you walk into a bathroom, do you prefer to walk into a shower (from the door) or into a toilet? What would you prefer visible from the door itself? Logically you are going to use a toilet 9 times out of 10 so you would think that should be there first, but there is something odd about walking past a door and just seeing a toilet there... Thoughts? - is there enough room in the 2 bathrooms we created by joining the toilet and main bathroom? Dimensions are 3m by 2m (roughly) and with a shower coming out about 1m and the vanity about 550mm, that leaves more or less 1.45m to walk around, surely sufficient? If there are any other suggestions or thoughts on what you would do if this was your home we would greatly appreciate the feedback. Thanks you all so much in advance!

I understand wanting to keep the views from as many rooms as possible. However, how much time is spent in the bedrooms? And is the view visible the majority of time one spends in the bedroom? Consider that the most restful, secure sleep is obtained when the bed is placed opposite the entry door. That is not possible in any of your current bedroom layouts. Perhaps you should consider single solid glass French doors or windows flanking the beds opposite the doors rather than the large windows you show on the plan. Choice of doors or windows would be based on accessibility to a deck. I assume bedroom 1 and the office/bedroom have built-in bunk beds. I think the deck between the family and bedroom 3 seems inaccessible and a bit of a waste, and I wonder how one gets outside from the kitchen with the trash, etc. Do you have no plans to garage the vehicles?

Is this a new build? I would suggest you look at each room in detail and put the actual furniture arrangement you will have, to the right scale, and think about how you will move through and use those spaces. Some of those look odd to me, but it may be the way you intend to use those spaces is different to my imagination. The access to the changing room seems only through the Kitchen. and either out the front door or dining and living to get to the pool area. How will this be fenced? Where is washing to be carried from the laundry? Is there a line nearby? Out the front door, or through kitchen dining and living? Bed 4 has to go through a living space to a bathroom, the living room is hard to imagine in use as arranged, and bed 2 and 3 look to have the beds right into a corner for no reason. How would you accommodate a double bed in these rooms? In a few years this may be what you want. If you will have other furniture, draw it in. There a large walk in cupboard/robe off a store room. What will be in the storage room? Draw that in too, so you know there is space and it won't block access to the robe. Many of the storage spaces/benches/shelves are shown with corner shelving arrangements which isn't often the best use of space. Bed 1 looks out onto the front access. How will you provide privacy? What different uses do you imagine in the living, family and rumpus rooms?

Provided there is 1200mm clear between the breakfast bar and the opposite bench then by rights, you should have ample room and if that's the case, I think I would opt for the design with the kitchen on the eastern side. My reason; you get a much greater feeling of open plan by having the dining and lounge on the North/South plane. I like the large WIP in this one - on paper at least. The second plan somehow feels wrong. I personally don't like the idea of having the breakfast bar being located in the lounge. If it were me though, I would ask for a 3D CAD plan of both kitchens [to walk through on the computer] before making up my mind on which one to opt for as it gives you a much clearer vision of what the finished kitchen will be like rather than looking at a flat plan.

I like the removal of the WIR and the separate loo - which does need s basin to be fully functional.

more suggestions with a private family toilet, ens and wiw plus generous storage and, as already suggested, all the widows need to be reviewed

With both bathrooms/toilets being above your kitchen area, make sure you consult with the builder as to where your plumbing ducts will be. As your plan shows the toilet noise and waste may have to be through the kitchen. Sound proofing the ceiling/ floor needs to be done correctly. Nothing worse than hearing the flushing of toilets and shower water above where your eating.

Don’t overthink guest bedroom. You would need to stand in doorway to see in. My master bed door is at head of bed.

@oklouise thanks for the drawing, but the bathroom design is not common here and not very appealing by the look eventhgough its very practical, more like a hotel setup. i like the master setup but it does make the master bedroom very small. plus we cannot change the windows anymore are townplanning is done, only internal changes are allowed

Over here, we go for function over form. Practical daily use for all occupants. You have potentially 4 people to use the shared bathroom. Therefore separate toilet with a door, and access to a vanity is more convenient than a toilet in a room where people are brushing their teeth.

only downside with a seperate WC is that the master will loose a WIR

unfortunately i dont think there is enough space to accommodate a WC and WIR together without reducing the bedroom size, for a master we are looking atleast 4x4m and other beds minimum 3.2x3.2
