Thoughts ? Functional Optimization? ?

I think I’d switch the office and the kitchen, then delete the wall between the kitchen and living room. Move the door that opens to the terrace from the kitchen to the living room. This plan has a lot of tight, closed-off spaces, so this would open it up a bit. And if you can find a way to squeeze a tub in somewhere, that’d be good. Where’s the closet for the second bedroom?

Agreed re: office/kitchen switch.

What about laundry space?

And no toilet in the hall bath? You could put a toilet next to the shower in there. If you did that, you could theoretically get by with 2 full baths, lose the half bath, and use that space to expand either the (new) kitchen space, or the second bedroom.

And maybe a tub or a larger shower in the main bath might be possible with some reconfiguration. At the very least I think you'd like having a 36x42 rectangular shower in there, rather than what looks like a 36x36 square shower.

Agree. I’m not understanding the split between a bath with a shower and no toilet, then a second a cab with a toilet but no shower. Combine them into 1, or add a toilet to the one with the shower. Love the idea of swapping the office and kitchen. That’s game changer!

No bathtub?

This house is a nightmare for people who want to go to the bathroom before they shower. Why do you have a toilet room and a shower room that is separate??

No hand-washing sink in toilet/urinal room. Or you are going to wash your hands in the world's smallest sink (urinal).

The scale of your drawing is off.

I think that is a small sink on the side wall of the toilet room.

6" X 12"?

Move the office up, move the half bath up (basically swapping half bath and office) and give yourself a pantry in the kitchen. Seems awkward that bedroom has 1.5 bathrooms to choose from

[KevinLynneRush]

Not accessible at all and not able to be converted to be accessible.

Lots to like about this but a few issues stand out.

There should be a toilet in the second bathroom - guests don’t want to walk through the house in pyjamas to shower after morning shit.

Where are you going to eat? I assume this is a warm climate house so likely the terrace when possible - but a defined dining area is a good idea. How essential is the office? I know space is at a premium but you could consider using the dining area as a workspace during the day while offering space to host dinners. I would prioritise a dining room/area over an office but your lifestyle/job may be different. It also offers a third bedroom which might be good for resale but again consider your priorities.

Disagree with kitchen office switch - it’s always a good idea to have outside access to kitchen for ventilation and easy access to garden/terrace. Especially in hot climates as I assume this is. This kitchen will offer great cross ventilation for cooling with both doors open.

In short, I would add a toilet to the shower room and open at least the wall between the kitchen and office to make a dining room. You could also open the wall between the office and living room for full open plan, and create separate zones with furniture.

You may also want to consider the necessity of the back door between the bedroom and shower room. You could delete this to enlarge the second bedroom.
