Hobby Project

I took everyone’s advice and opinions and made a lot of changes. Hopefully it’s less scary now lol

- move kitchen closer to living room
- wider hallways (5ft), doorways (3ft), closets, and pathways around objects such as beds and dining table
- added a mudroom
- bigger rooms
- overall shape is now more square
- took out veranda and added a loggia off the primary bedroom instead
- took out east wing and made path of travel from bedroom to kitchen shorter
- added a drawing room off the foyer so it no longer leads to nothing
- added a wall between the car port and courtyard, so the car no longer stands out as a focal point, plus will help deter any fumes if the car is idle

Side note: I understand some people may think I’m being combative or defensive in the comments, but that is not my intention. I’m just trying to have conversations and learn. I am taking everyone’s advice into consideration when they comment, even if they go against my designs or my own ideas. I’m sorry if my tone of writing comes off as harsh.

Let me know if there’s anything else you think I should do or change.

Not a professional, just doing it for fun :) I pictured mid-century.

What do ya’ll think? What would you change?

Picture order:
Basement, Main Floor, Upper Floor

Second level, main level, and basement

I moved the laundry room to the basement, installed a dumbwaiter and a laundry shoot for easier transportation of dirty/clean laundry, added an exterior staircase and an entrance to the mechanical room.

I made a list of all the recommendations and opinions I got from my last post and redesigned the main floor of my Art Deco house. I made two versions; one for those that really wanted a garage, and one without. I also added labels this time 🤗

After this I’ll be making the 2nd floor and basement for the version without the garage. I hope you like it and pls remember that this is for fun and shouldn’t be taken too seriously

Edit:
Alright, I fixed the primary bath. Here’s what I did (pic will be in the comments)
- Plumbing for the toilet and sinks are no longer on the exterior wall
- Double sinks
- Toilet is in its own little room
- Kept the shower
- Fenced in viewing courtyard from bath with gate

I had to add two feet to the length of the house and almost a foot to the width but I got it. I also changed the laundry/pantry into their own separate areas and gained extra storage. I think the only negative (even though minor) is less space in the walk-in closet.

I think I’m finally done tinkering with the main floor and wanted to ask if I should change anything before I go onto designing the basement and second floor.
