Anne, really nice home and floor plans ... unfortunately, I'm outside of Buffalo and they don't come this far west in NY. But I'll keep them as a reference .. Beautiful house Angela! Just a little bigger. LOL! Keep the ideas coming ... I'm going to have to apply for a "special use permit" to stay in the rural town I currently live in. They require 10 acres for hooved animals, while most neighboring towns only require 3 to 4 acres for my 3 miniature donkeys. A friend has a 5 acre lot around the corner from where I currently live, so I put the bug in his ear about selling it to me ... one possibility.

carson & chipsa, I like your thinking. He didn't put a window in his MB plan or a linen closet. Jeezz I think the entry area is too large and wasted floor space don't you? I almost think he needs to start completely over. Frustrating, we waited 2 weeks to get this and I am not sure how to tell him. I think he thought this was a "good to go" plan. I found this plan today on line and so with photo shop I added his suggested garage set up, changed the kitchen to have a island, enlarged the screened in porch. I think the great room looks to be too small & MB could be set up different. Do you think this plan has a good flow for 2 adults that will have overnight guests? I want to give him feed back on the plan he sent me with a alternate plan to show him.

@Mark Bischak. Going to take a stab at the meaning of "relate to your site"... It will be positioned in the middle of a 50 acre farm with a long winding driveway. Barn and large pond to the right of the home. Is that what you are asking? The spot where we want the home to go is where an old farmhouse burned down several years ago. There is still a small old brick walkway that led to the front of the home which we intend to reuse. There is a concrete cistern/well from the 1930's still standing but it is a huge attraction for snakes and gives me the creeps so we plan to fill it in. We plan to reuse the pulley and the heavy metal hatch that covers the top of the well somewhere in the new house and/or barn. Under the concrete pad around the well, there is another layer of old beautiful brick which we plan to reuse. This home will truly be in the middle of a farm with pasture for a couple of horses on one side with the pond and barn and row crops (cotton, corn, wheat, or soybeans) to the other side. The back will overlook more row crop and land that is bordered by some woods and a creek. Very slight slope to the rear of the homesite. It is attached to my family's farm and so we plan for it to be our "forever" home.

Well...this house is designed with a strong exterior-interior linear concept as the fundamental basis for design. While some minor exterior and interior modifications may be possible, there are limits to what modifications may be made without losing the all important concept. If the concept doesn't work for someone, the best strategy is to look for another house designed with a concept which is a better fit.
