Hey everyone,

I’m planning a new home build and would love some feedback on the layout and overall flow before I finalize things.

Here’s what I have in mind:

- 4 bedrooms (for a family setup + one guest room)

- A spacious living room that feels open and welcoming

- A central courtyard to bring in natural light and ventilation

- An open kitchen connected to the living/dining area

- A side garden for greenery and a bit of relaxation space

- Parking space (preferably covered) accessible from the main gate

My goal is to keep the house modern, airy, and functional, not too cramped. I also want a good balance between privacy (bedrooms) and open social spaces.

A few things I’m unsure about:

- Best placement of the courtyard (center vs side?)

- How to design the open kitchen without it looking messy

- Ideal bedroom positioning for privacy + ventilation

- Whether the garden + parking should be combined or separated

If anyone has built something similar or has design ideas, layout suggestions, or even mistakes to avoid — I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance 🙌
