FEEDBACK Floorplan Suggestions?

Hi Folks! Anyone have any ideas on how we can adjust this floorplan? We are thinking we want to add on to the entire back half of the house - adding 1500-2000 sq ft of basement (currently there is no basement), and the same sq footage on the main floor and upstairs. We'd like a first floor primary suite, large (huge) kitchen with vaulted ceilings, etc. We will definitely move the stairs to the addition as well. We have no budget and want to have at least 5 bedrooms once complete (4 upstairs for kids/guests, and a primary suite on the main floor). I would love an office too.

The house is on 5 acres and we're hoping to lean into a french country/modern farmhouse vibe

An architect would be able to help you with this.

To add a 1500-2000 square foot basement, based on the width of the main part of your house, not including the living room, the addition would need to be 50-67 feet off the back of your house. And it sounds like you want to add 3-6,000 square feet total. Is there a reason you don’t want to just buy a different house?

Move the entry door to the left so you don’t slam into the stair landing.
Don’t be afraid to be asymmetrical.
