Then add an 'L' shaped great room in the middle, with the front porch and door build inside the right angle and add stairs, utility room and or passage to garage at the outer angle. If you want two master bedrooms on the ground floor of a home, You could start with an 'L' shape, drawing mirror images of two master bedrooms first - one at each end of the 'L'. You wouldn't necessarily need a home elevator - just make your stairs straight and wide enough for one of the electric lifts to meet your needs - even if it means you need to invest in a second wheel chair for the upper floor. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this! And appraisers don't care too much about the nice architectural features that may drive up the cost of building, so reclaiming value from nicer materials and design is difficult. I was fine with cutting it down even more but got pushback from the architect as well as family because it's just an expectation in this area you have a huge master suite and walk-in closet. The master suite to the original floor plan was huge and we cut it down considerably. I hate to keep that in mind too much for this home, but I guess it's a sensible thing to do. Another consideration is resale and appraisals. What do you think of the floor plan as it is? Do you see major problems? I feel like it's functional and can lend itself to being bright airy inside. For now the casita will serve as a guest suite but may also function as a bedroom for one of our children while in their angsty teenage years or during college. Our children are still very young (5 and 2, and probably another in the future) and we have a large extended family with frequent visitors. Currently my parents and in-laws are in great health and we have no set plans for the future, but we want the space available if needed. The casita/guest suite is going to function as a flexible space.
Not sure if you read the conversation above but the design process hasn't exactly gone as I had hoped. We are planning for aging in place, and I told my architect that at onset. Such a beautiful plan thanks for sharing! We plan on having curbless walk-in showers in the master and the casita/guest suite, it just isn't reflected in the plan yet. We would appreciate positive and constructive feedback from anyone willing to take the time. It’s just the two of us, with occasional out of town guests. Our style is Mountain Modern with cozy elements and a warm color scheme. I think I’ve come up with a pretty good plan (Pencil Sketch) for the living room that will allow us to enjoy the room in many ways. I’m taking NY Institutes Art & Design’s Interior Design Course, which has been very helpful.

We also have a 2.5 garage, basement living area with full bath, and utility room that you can’t see below the left side or Bedroom wing of the house.Īs you can see from the pictures, we are lucky to have some great views, which means we’ll have competing focal points in the living room.
I’ve included our current draft, which is missing bathroom fixtures in the guest bath. We’ll hire a local architect to draw up the plans and make sure we haven’t made any serious mistakes. My hubby, Jim and I are using Sketchup to design a new home that will capture Mountain views and light in NW Montana. I've included updated images of our design and would appreciate your feedback. Ultimately, our architect and local trade professionals will help us make a design a reality.
Thanks again to everyone who offered constructive feedback. I can't believe it's been five months since I shared this post.
