My family and I are currently designing a beach house, and we have several important criteria we want the layout to meet.
First, each family member’s bedroom must include both a walk in closet and an ensuite bathroom. Because we have a French bulldog who cannot climb stairs, the master bedroom and our daughter’s bedroom need to be located on the ground floor.
We would prefer the kitchen to be somewhat separated from the living room, rather than fully open plan, to help prevent cooking smells from spreading throughout the main living space.
On the upper floor, there will be a third ensuite bedroom, which must be positioned on the right side of the house to take advantage of the sea view. In addition, we would like to include as many small guest bedrooms as possible to accommodate extended family during holidays such as Christmas.
The living room, dining area, and entrance will all have raised ceilings. As a result, there will be no rooms located directly above these spaces on the upper floor.
We are especially open to improving the layout of the upper floor and making the overall design more efficient and functional.
I would really appreciate any recommendations or ideas to help us refine this plan.
