Feedback on floor plan?

We are about to say yes to our next phase of architectural design. We would love to hear your feedback on these floor plans (four levels on a narrow lot)? What do you like or think should be changed? Thank you!

You have space to give bedrooms 2 and 3 their own baths and the additional cost is minimal compared with the arguments and inconvenience that a Jack and Jill bath can cause.

I would change the bathroom layout for letter z since you have the bedrooms sharing the bath

Un bagno triste
Q

scusate se mi intrometto in questa discussione pur non essendo un professionista. Ho lo stesso problema del signor Alessandro, casa in affitto, rivestimento del bagno bruttarello. Volevo assolutamente verniciare le piastrelle, ma ho ricevuto tutti feedback negativi, sia dell'operaio che mi ha fatto i lavori in casa, sia dal rivenditore stesso di vernici. Me lo hanno sconsigliato perché verrebbe male, opaco e non duraturo a causa dei vapori. In conclusione mi hanno fatto passare la voglia e così mi sono tenuta il bagno celeste a rametti di fiori blu.

Salve Simone, mantenendo le dimensioni della stanza come da disegno, ma spostando la porta di ingresso, si può creare una disposizione come da schizzo sotto. Creando una spalletta interna per installare i sanitari, si riesce a creare una zona doccia lunga quanto la parete. Ester - Ambienti+

Bagno più piccolo e soggiorno più ampio.. Mission impossibile?

Valentina, Damiano, intanto grazie per il vs feedback. al momento ci sono solo pareti grezze e quello che si vede in foto é il planning originale. si tratterebbe di abbattere una parete e spostare degli impianti, con dei costi che dovrò preventivare al fine di guadagnare più spazio possibile x una zona cucina che così com'è non mi piace. chiudendo l'accesso al garage e stringendo il bagno ad una larghezza di 1m (anziché 1,50 dite che non ne valga proprio la pena? attualmente vivo in un appartamento dove il secondo bagno di servizio é largo 90cm: bagno bidet e lavabo. l'altra alternativa era quella di ricreare il secondo bagno in garage ma mi sa che dopo il garage non ha più le misure minime.. Mi scuso se dico banalità ma sto provando a capire se una soluzione esiste. Michele

Troppe porte in questi appartamenti scozzesi

personalmente non aprireri la sala sul corridoio perchè verrebbe meno la privacy delle camere. Per andare al bagno dovresti passare necessariamente dal living. Piuttosto aprirei la cucina sul living e aggiungerei i tre C della zona giorno all'open space. Creerei una zona ripostigli accorpata che segua il perimetro del corridoio che divide la zona notte dalla zona giorno con un sistema di ante scorrevoli che all'occorrenza divida l'ingresso dalla zona notte. E' solo un'idea su cui riflettere con il professionista che vi segue sul posto.

What are you going to do in the multipurpose room, that is not satisfied in the rest of your home? I'd consider making the multipurpose room(open up that wall) the dining room, and extend the Great room.

Why do you need a shower in the powder room, since there aren't any bedrooms on this floor.

It looks like there is a window in the master bath toilet area, if so, then move the toilet to the back wall.

Thx. The multipurpose room is for what is needed at time... we won't use as dining but next buyer might. For now we will house piano and board games etc. for kids. Kids can also do projects in there without having to clean up in kitchen. And if needed might have to be first floor bedroom if take in parents or if one of us has surgery (hence shower in powder room).

I'd want the first floor bath closer to the kitchen and great room. Also, it seems like the kitchen layout is weird. Maybe the island should go up and down instead of across. The stove, sink, fridge layout seems too far apart.

Re: Jack and Jill Baths
I solved the problem of Jack or Jill locking the door that the other J or J needs to use to access the shared bathroom. I installed key locks on both doors and my J and J have keys hung on the doorframe of their own door which unlock the door which the other J forgot to unlock. Unless they are very young, they will be able to work things out. Knock first. If the bathroom is unoccupied, you use your key. Easy.
The best thing about the J and J bathroom in this floorpan is that both J's have their own sink, mirror, and, hopefully, plenty of storage for their own stuff: drawers as well as under-sink storage. Color code the towels in the shared area.

But wouldn't life be easier with a bathroom for each bedroom?

Why not make the guest bedroom the room for one of the Js and have the guest share the other bedroom, with keys, etc. as proposed?

Unless you have guests very often, this solves the problem of a bathroom and closes for each child.

Also, if you're putting a shower into the powder room in case you need to move the bedroom downstairs, make it as accessible as possible, e.g., curb less. You never know when someone is going to be recovering from something that makes mobility difficult for a while - and good for resale. I'd also reinforce the studs so a grab bar could be installed in the future.

I think that first floor bathroom is right where it needs to be. It offers privacy to anyone using it.

Yes, if I was your kid I'd be right pissed that the guests get a bigger closet than me! It would take me and my sis approximately five minutes to come to blows over who gets to move into the guest room :-D

Glad to see you're open to rethinking that!

Making the bath on the entry floor to be ADA compliant is a good idea.

Is laundry in your mudroom? I personally dislike walking through the laundry to get into the house, but this may not bother you. Consider taking some of the Storage area behind the kitchen cabinets to put laundry there. Good luck!

Love the design and and layout. It's gonna be a beauty!

So, trying to avoid being a nit picker, I'm gonna say a few things that jumped out at me.

1.- The kitchen layout is nice, clean, but I do feel the fridge is a tad far away from the "work triangle". Just think about cooking or washing vegetables and having to get to the fridge to get some extra anything? It's a bit of a long hike.

2.- I love the little bench with the window in the Multipurpose room. I think that's a really nice addition. Maybe copying the same idea in the Study?

3.- Don't know why, but I feel that the stair landing arriving right to the dinette is a bit intrusive. I'd prefer to be able to come down the stairs and not have to get to a specific space. Maybe think about switching stair directions? Also, going up the stairs, if you switch the direction, you will arrive faster to the Master bedroom door. And in the Dinette, maybe think about putting a door in order to go down to the basement, so that a stair going down isn't in your face? (Just a thought, but I think it won't work because of the way the third and basement levels are setup)

Good luck with the design and the build!

Yes... stackable in mudroom in addition to laundry on second. I think we will also add sink to mudroom.

"I feel that the stair landing arriving right to the dinette is a bit intrusive."

Slightly off topic story: our stairs come down from the second floor and face the dining table. For the first 6 months in this house whenever our 13-yr-old daughter came down for breakfast the other (younger) kids already sitting at the table would woot-woo and whistle at her. Since they could only see her legs at first they thought it was hilarious to treat it like a runway fashion show. She did not appreciate the feedback lol so we put a stop to it but it was really funny to the rest of us.

@UNEKUAL the struggle is real...

I understand why you have a shower on the first floor but is there a way to have a separate powder room as well? I always find it weird to be at someone's house and have to use the facilities where there is a shower. Seems too personal or something.

Thank you for all the great feedback!

Definitely agree to move fridge.

The study will actually be my office.

I love basement design so not sure I want to move the stairwell around.

Just one more thing that no one else has mentioned and that's you don't really have a coat closet when you enter your house. I know the mud room will take care of that for your family but are you really going to make your guests walk all that way, see a messy mudroom, and put their things in there? Maybe take a small space of the study and put in a small coat closet for guests.

Add a microwave to the wet bar! I completely missed that one when we were building and now I regret it.

Regarding Sina Sadeddin's suggestion, I carry and fetch my guests' coats for them so the closet just around the corner from the foyer would work fine for me. But it's a smart observation if you have a more self-serve household!

If you imagine it being a problem you could add cafe style doors to the doorway between the mudroom and the coat closet. Still easy to get through no-handed with laundry, looks cute, and blocks the laundry mess! The ability to enter the mudroom on one end and exit on the other is wonderful.

Since you mentioned a stackable laundry...Kenmore makes one where the control panel on the top of the dryer can be easily moved to the bottom of the dryer. It's just a plug in module. Very cool! I wanted this one since I'm short, but we didn't have enough clearance for the doors.

And one more thing - you might think about pocket doors or barn doors for the J&J bathroom. Lots of doors taking up lots of space. Also in the master closet. Just an idea

While barn doors can look quite charming, they can sound noisy in the dead of night, plus they take up wall space that might otherwise be used for a towel bar or medicine cabinet or artwork, who knows what. Pocket doors also cause problems, but not as many, I think, as barn doors.
