We bought this home a few months ago. We really love it but the kitchen/powder room/primary is a bit small with the laundry being quite loud. How would you all redraw it during a remodel?

Hello guys I’m looking to turn this awkward loft space into a comfortable and stylish bedroom.

Any ideas where best to put a bed with a tall headboard, wardrobes, tall bedside drawers, a tv, and a vanity?

I’d like to add some sort of seperation to the room without adding a wall

All ideas welcome!

Still need to add windows, finishes, and fixtures but the layout is just about finished. Looking for any feedback both positive and negative on the layout. Floor plan area is ± 4,500 sq.ft. Rough dims = ±100' long and ±75' wide

Has anyone built something similar to this? Love the bones of this floorplan but tryin to figure out how to incorporate basement stairs, a half bath, and a mudroom area.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to start construction soon and would really appreciate professional feedback before finalizing my floor plan.

Details:

• Plot size: 30 ft × 55 ft

• Floor: First Floor

• Purpose: Self + Rental

• Layout: 2 Bedrooms, Drawing Room, Dining, Kitchen, 2 Bathrooms, Pooja Room, Utility/Wash Area, Balconies

. I have designed the format of the house in 2 portions and the left portion is for self use and the right portion is for rent.

I have attached two versions (Plan 1 and Plan 2).

I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the following:

1. Which plan is better overall and why?

2. Is the drawing room size practical for a 30'×'55" plot?

3. Are the bedroom sizes adequate or do they feel too small?

4. Is the kitchen size sufficient for a family of 4–5?

5. Is there any wasted or dead space in either plan?

6. Can the layout be optimized further without increasing the built-up area?

7. Which plan would you choose if this were your own home?

8. What changes would you suggest before construction begins?

Please be completely honest, even if you think something should be redesigned. I want to finalize the best possible layout before construction starts.

Thank you very much for your time and suggestions.

I’m getting this exact house in first image without the fireplace and garage (but added room on the side where garage is/near back) and I’m struggling.

I want to ask you kind people please help me; does this ornate design similar in images 2 & 3 a possible good look on this house? I’m considering a mix of fish scale and wood work with sliding. Wondering if I’m delusional as I’m getting ready to overhaul it and open to criticism.

Can any good interior be made in this floor plan?

Hey everyone,
I’m not an architect (please don’t call the council 😅), but I was commissioned by a friend here in South Africa to design and build this small off-grid cabin. It’s meant for a site with a sloped terrain and a killer view of river mouth.
The specs:
1 bedroom (no loft)
Scandinavian-inspired style
Nutec building plank cladding (South African fiber cement siding)
Roof pitch: about 35°, with exposed rafters
Raised deck facing the view
Off-grid: no water supply, solar-powered
Simple timber structure, 16" OC stud spacing
My main goals: keep it lightweight, low-maintenance, and feasible for me to assemble on-site.
But… since I’ve gone full weekend-warrior-designer on this, I’d love for the pros and enthusiasts here to roast it. Tear into the layout, structure, roof lines, whatever jumps out. What would you change or improve if this were your cabin?

Hi everyone,

I live in Rajasthan, India, and this house is built on my family's farmland. Some parts of the house were built years ago, and now I'm planning to expand it.

I'm not sure what should be built next, so I wanted to ask people with experience in home design and construction.

Here are my questions:

If this were your house, what would you build next?

Should I add more bedrooms, a bigger living area, a verandah, a sit-out, or something else?

How can I improve the front elevation so the house looks more modern?

Is there any way to make the exterior more attractive without spending a huge amount?

Are there any mistakes or missed opportunities you notice from these photos?

Since it's on farmland, what features would make the house more practical?

I'm open to both small improvements and major renovation ideas.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Not an architect, just an enthusiast.

My vision:

- symmetric front of house

- big porch

- separate common areas and private areas

- powder room close to common area

- full laundry room

- outdoor storage room

- large driveway and carport double as outdoor entertainment spaces

- each bedroom has its own bathroom

- indoor storage room

- large primary bedroom, bathroom, and walk in closet

Thoughts? Thank you in advance!

If anyone has built these plans or something similar, I would love to see some pictures. We have just started the process with our Architect

We live in a village. It's a big dream to construct a home.

Now its happening. I am a bit confused about how to style properly.

Can you please help me with a good compound& exterior style.

For home exterior we want to keep minimal with upside glass fitting with steel rods.

Any suggestions are accepted.

House dimensions:

Length of house 60feets

Length of compound: 180feets

Width: 25ft

I got this plant as a freebie in an order. It was a small cutting and has since grown into this over about two years.

As pictures show, it seems to grow stiffly up before falling. Leaves are rubbery/succulent-like in texture.

Thanks in advance everyone!
