**concern is the room on the RIGHT of the photos**

Hi everyone,

My partner and I just bought a condo that we’ll be renovating and wanted to get your thoughts on how we can optimize the floorplan. The current floor plan is the first photo, and the second is our working idea of what to do. Black lines are what we are confident will work, while red is what we're not sure about (see below). Our goals are:

• expand the width of the living room
• add a guest room/additional room
• have a primary bedroom with sunlight and an ensuite

We cannot move the HVAC or the thick black wall between the living room and the existing right-side bedroom. Our current markup moves the primary bedroom to the other side because we can't see a way to get both an office and a guest bedroom into the right-side space.

We are particualrly stumped about what to do with the new primary bedroom/bathroom. We don’t know where we could put a closet without blocking the windows. We would like double sinks. We do not need a bathtub (but need a shower). We need a king bed and need enough room at the end of the bed to navigate around. We also tentatively have a dresser under the window, but would prefer not to have to cross the entire room to get to our clothes from the bathroom.

Can anyone help us out?

edit-SOLVED!! Thank you to everyone for their input and especially u/Okika13 for literally finding the brand they use. Means a lot!! 🥰

I come form a coastal town in Brazil and whenever I visit i get these mini chocolate pies from this chain (google “Empadinhas Barnabé”) that doesn’t exist outside my home city. They have other flavours of course, but the chocolate is my favourite, and I’ve never tasted anything like it in north america. I’ve tried asking them what chocolate they use but of course, it’s a secret

I live in Toronto, Canada, and don’t know much about chocolate. Is there a world where I could bring one of these from overseas to a chocolate expert to taste around me, and they could recreate it or something? I only visit once per year and would love to be able to make them at home. The dough I’ve mostly figured out.
