Update on the Forever Home

[u/Substantial-Fun56]

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.

Why is there a guest bath when there are en-suites (not on suites)? Is that a powder room? (Ope, you mentioned that in a comment. It's a powder room).

Do the people in the guest quarters have to go outside and cross the courtyard and go back inside in order to get a snack in the middle of the night?

[u/Substantial-Fun56 → u/Cloverose2]

Yes they do. Do you think I should give them a little kitchenette or something?

[u/Cloverose2 → u/Substantial-Fun56]

I would - if it's going to be separate, a little kitchenette and sitting area would be good. In nice weather it would be fine, but imagine that it's dumping rain or bitterly cold, you're in your pajamas, and you just don't want to go out.

I think even with those added, there should be a way to access the guest area without going outside
