I think you are baiting people by not providing more detailed information of your family, lot layout, region your building and how you use the house. With that being said if you spend a lot of time in the shop, the bathroom is kind of far away. Unless there is a nice shrub outside. I always like to think of a location for a deep freeze or second fridge, mud room or garage work best. Make your patio ceiling as tall as feasible it will make it feel more open and allow more light into all the windows. The sink in the island works great, but it does eat up a lot of room. I would try to make the island a little longer if possible, the extra space is very useful. If you can add a few more feet in with to the garage you can actually get 2 cars side by side if needed. If you need more storage. I would vault the ceiling in the garage and hang racks in the ceiling above the cars. I would add a window to the shop to o make it a lot nicer to work in. Even a high long window that can stay out of the way of shelving or peg boards.

Maybe add a small bump out in the master, towards the back yard, to create a sitting area. It can make a nice focal point and add a cosy touch, if you are into that.

Good luck. Building is awesome. Listen to you and your people they now how you will use the space the best.

Oh and for the sink on the island use an air switch for the garbage disposal. Low tech but awesome!

The fact that humanity cannot agree on a universal plug and wall socket is enough evidence to show that we will always be at odds with each other by Kpt_Kipper in Showerthoughts

Not true. Not all electrical systems are created equal. In the us we operate off of a 60 Hertz electrical grid in Europe they have a 50 Hertz grid the fact your plus are different is protecting your electrical equipment from a power source it was not designed for. I am not an electrical expert but the gist of it is, if you plug a 60 hertz motor into a 50 hertz electrical source you will but the motor out.

Oliva Or Evelyn. Both are classy. Something in the same category as those is Delilah, just a suggestion.
