I can't enlarge it and these old eyes can't see it well enough to comment!

How many people will live here? Ages?

Just off the bat, coming in from the carport takes you right through the working part of the kitchen. Not the most pleasant of homecomings, and inconvenient it people are coming and going to work, school, etc, while someone is cooking or cleaning.

The hall bath could do with some privacy, perhaps by moving the hall door over, which means moving one of the bedroom doors inward to the bedroom a bit.

The front door goes right into the middle of the LR. Perhaps you could move the door to one side, I'm thinking to the right, and creating an entryway with a console table along the wall.

Are you modifying an existing plan? Are you working with a "pro"? At first glance this is kind of a mess. The small garage entry going through the laundry room and bisecting the kitchen work space needs serious attention. Does this builder have other, stock plans to choose from? Yikes.

Well first thing I noticed is if you need to bring laundry from the master to the laundry room it will mean walking through your kitchen. Yes I know you can go around your kitchen, but really, no one takes the longer route. I noted it with the blue arrow.

I can't see any linen closet. In fact I see barely any closets except those in the bedrooms. Yes even in NW FL you need closets. Where will you store your vacuum, brooms, etc? What about excess food? I don't see a pantry and there's not much storage in the kitchen.

This house works more like an apartment condo than a house with the two bedrooms off the living room on the left and the master off the living room on the right and how you enter right into the main living area with no sense of entry.

Which direction is north?

The kitchen needs work. Anyone wanting something from the fridge has to pass by someone working at the sink to get it. Then you need to carry prepped food across the entry from the carport to bring it to cook.

You have no barriers between the bedrooms and the living/dining room. Meaning you're in the living room with the tv on and anyone trying to sleep in one of the bedrooms is going to hear it loud and clear.

You're in FL but you only have a few windows. Don't you want the house open to the outdoors?

As bp noted. looking from the living/dining area you're looking right into the guest bathroom. Not too appetizing.

What do the elevations look like?

I do appreciate the comments. I will take them up with designer. The lack of linen closet took me by surprise.

It's a very unthoughtful and uncreative plan, but it should be economical to build. Is that your goal? You can expect a very large, ungainly truss-supported roof which will be out of scale with the one-story exterior.

It would help if the plan were large enough to understand but even then the words and dimensions are impossible to read.

Virgil is right; its not creative or even interesting; more like a vacation house. You should expect more from a designer for a primary residence.

more like a vacation house

It actually is very similar to the layout of several of the condos in our high rise building. Minus the garage of course.

O.K. some useful comments and some update of the plan. Is this better?

I was thinking it looks like it was designed by an engineer and I now see it was.

I see nothing about it worth keeping.

I'm sorry but the only two changes I see are that you put a small linen closet in the master bath and guest bath. All the other listed problems remain, including the one where you have to walk through your kitchen work area to bring laundry to the laundry area.

Add to that the kitchen layout really needs lots of work, you still have no closet for guests, only one way in and out of the house not counting the garage, and barely enough windows or anything to connect the indoors and outdoors.

Have I missed other changes? Changes that would make the house more of a home and less of a place just to put your things?

Which direction is north?

BTW: My comment above, "It actually is very similar to the layout of several of the condos in our high rise building. Minus the garage of course." was not meant as a compliment. What will work in a high rise building, is not what you want for a one story house.

Not everyone is a Vanderbilt nor does everyone aspire to live in the Biltmore. There are entry-level townhome designs that meet the needs of one segment of the housing market, move-up homes that meet the needs of another segment, tract-built homes that meet the needs of another, and high-end custom homes that meet another, albeit, limited market segment. It's inappropriate--okay, arrogant-- to evaluate entry-level, move-up homes, tract homes, etc. against the standards for high-end custom homes.

As one recent poster commented:

"What you have here is a basic plan and you are asking people who are very focused at design about it. You have a big mac from McDonald's and you have come to a foodie forum to ask about how you can make it better by getting 3 pickles instead of 2."

@JDS, your disdain for engineers is abundantly clear, but it's really not clear who designed this plan. The title block gives billing to Pritchard Drafting Services of Port Richey, FL, D.K. Feagle Construction, LLC, and Gregory P. Rivers, P.E. There is no engineer's seal on the plans, so I wouldn't be so quick to blame Mr. Rivers for the lack of architectural character. Further, Mr. Rivers' full-time job is director of construction for the school board of Polk County, FL-- a job that doesn't exactly make him a residential design expert. What we have here is a big mac....

Charles I agree that not every home needs to be up to the level of a high end custom home, but even an entry level home can be well designed.

I never really will understand why so many plans and people want their master closet to open inside their bathroom. Why not have the closet open inside the bedroom instead? Or better yet put a pocket door on both sides so you can walk through, extend the closet to the full width of the room, move the door down and get rid of the little hallway (aka wasted space) in the bedroom?

Also with the current plans the laundry may be awkward, you have to walk through the kitchen, then into the bedroom, close the door and go down the bedroom hallway to put clothes away and vice versa to wash them.

Agree with all of above. That front door cuts that big LR into two small rooms. I'd really think a lot about where your furniture will go in that large area.

All traffic through kitchen is a deal breaker - do you have children? Ugh. No thank you. Lived with that and it's really tough when you are working in the kitchen with that traffic.

jeyne-for people that work opposite shifts NOT having a dead end typical closet is really helpful. After you dress in the dark or in a completely different room for years you yearn for something that works where you can turn the light on and move about without disturbing the sleeper. But I digress that's just me and my life. I am offering up a scenario where that would make good sense and be very functional. In this specific instance I'd want the closet to open from the hall though and move the bedroom entry door.

Avoid views into bedrooms from other rooms.

Many times "economical to build" translates into hard to sell for a decent price.
