Honestly? It's a bloated layout with regards to how the roof will be. The roof will be a nightmare because of the trusses and will raise the cost to build significantly. All those bump outs on the exterior will also add significantly to the cost to build.

Every room will be dark because none of the rooms have windows on more than one side and the side you want with the most exposure (south) has the garage blocking the light.

You're on 5 acres but the garage if front and center on the house instead of being set back.

I would suggest finding a person of design merit (usually an residential architect) to design you exactly the house you want and need instead of relying on generic stock plans. They will fit the house to you, instead of you trying to fit yourselves to the house.

Put together a list of your actual needs based on how your family lives. Bring examples of styles of houses you like, pictures and let them know exactly what you need where.

I don't like much about it. First of all, a room should not be labeled "whatever you want". If this house if for your family, know what you want, and that will determine the size, shape, dimensions, and placement of each room. Do you think you want a playroom, gaming room, home office? Where will you keep your records, pay bills, etc? And, that porch isn't within that walls, it's just a slab, so if you don't need it, don't enclose it, just leave it off.

The garage entry forces everyone right throught the kitchen, dropping papers, mail, drink cups, and water bottles as they go.

The dining room is nowhere near the kitchen, or the living room for that matter, it's off the dark and narrow front hall.

The master bedroom right off the LR. I see this a lot (or MBR right off the kitchen) and I don't understand that choice. It reminds me of my college apartments (in The Village, is that still there in Dallas?)

The garage isn't that bad, it's tucked back a little bit and side-.loading. But is it big enough for your vehicles and bikes?

In general, there is no circulation or flow going on. At the very least, open the wall between kitchen and dining room.

I agree that, if you are on 5 flat acres, take advantage of it and build a house designed for your family and your site.

Looks like I'm crazy, cause I actually like this plan a lot!

Thanks. There was an opening between the kitchen and dining room. I was playing around with the design and closed it off at one point and forget to put it back. That is my fault. I was wanting to add some small windows above the bed on the master on the right side. Maybe the same on bedroom 3.

Here is the front view.

My thoughts exactly SunnyDays!

I share some similar thoughts with other posters-- get rid of the jogs, open the DR and kitchen, and draw out furniture in the spaces (LR looks tight with so many pathways cutting through it). I would swap the DW to the other side of the sink. And do a single basin in the kids' bathroom.

I'm blown away by all the storage!

Here was the original with the connection between the DR and kitchen.

The original is no better. It will be expensive to build and dark especially with all the different ceiling heights too. So what does the outside look like?
