Well...it's an unusual plan to say the least. Hope financing and resale are not issues for you.

Your "forced" symmetrical concept is leaving you with dimensions which are not workable. For example, a walk-in closet of that configuration should be at least 5'-6" clear or 6' clear. A living room of only 13'-9" is very minimal and will take special furnishings and arrangements, especially since the entry door and process goes through part of the living room to get to the rest of the house. The space for a water closet should be a minimum of 3' clear. A shower with a minimum dimension of 3' is minimum.

The two bedroom wings are wider than the living room element, meaning the roof ridge lines of the bedroom wings will be higher, unless you raise the living room wing wall sufficiently. Needs to be calculated to avoid an awkward exterior.

Cutting off natural light from the north side of the house, and leaving the dining and kitchen without natural light is criminal. It could be partially avoided, by making the left half of the pantry into the dining area and adding windows there. Better still would be to put the dining and kitchen against the north wall, and relocated the pantry between kitchen and living.

Lots of work needed here. Good luck!

The master closet and the pantry are actually too tight in the narrower dimension to be very functional, and personally I would want to bury the pantry and closets in the middle of the house to get more windows in the main spaces.

Is there a reason you're committed to this shape?

Is there a reason the dogs get the largest space in the house practically?

Is there a reason your walk in closet (which as stated is too narrow to be a walk in closet) is on an outside wall? A wall that could instead have windows and natural light coming into the house?

Is there a reason the pantry and laundry are across the whole front of the house again blocking natural light into the house?

Is there a reason your mechanical room is too narrow for someone to get into it to do any work needed?

A 4' wide aisle in a galley kitchen is too narrow. That makes it a one person kitchen and no one else can be in there if the cook is there.

It's only you, your DH and the dogs. Wouldn't it be better if your laundry were closer to your bedroom so you don't have to carry baskets of clothes through your dining area into the too narrow pantry?

How do you intend to stand in front of the dryer and load clothes since there isn't even 3' of space in front?

How do you expect to open the freezers in the pantry? You have what looks like 30" freezers and only 24" to open the doors.

30" walking aisle is not enough space for walking in the guest bath.

Your foyer doesn't seem very inviting.

Where is your coat closet? Broom closet? Linen closet?

Have you considered engaging a person of design talent to create a plan that will actually work?

Just wondering if the pantry and laundry could move over to where the mechanical room and the 6' wide hall to the backyard is? That way the kitchen and dining could then move to the north wall and have windows. The laundry would also be closer to the master bedroom.

Another thing, as it is now, the master bedroom door and mechanical door overlap. In my current temporary digs, we have that situation where you have to close one door in order to open another and it's a big pain.

What do the elevations look like?

So this is a rough draft - which obviously needs help. That's why I'm here :-)
Virgil - the 'forced symmetry' is a request of my husband. Although he is willing to budge somewhat, he hates strange roof lines. We're actually trying to save money with going with dimension divisible by 2's and mainly 4's and few corners.

Would a walk-in closet need to be wider if clothes are only hung on one side?

We are considering two different roof lines. In both cases the center section of the house will have taller interior walls.

Palimpest: There is a fantastic view to the south, just trees to the north and west and a hill to the east. So locating the kitchen on the north and placing pantries, etc in the middle cut off view from kitchen. In our last home, designer talked me into typical rectangle great room: kitchen, dining, living - all along view side and I hated it. Company all swirled around the island while I was trying to cook. I don't mind being in my kitchen and looking through another room for a view. (see revision for windows on N)

Cpartlist:
Not totally committed to shape - just trying to save $ and hubby likes symmetry. Less corners, less $$. ?
The dogs get that much room because we will be training diabetic alert dogs. We'll be in that room a lot, and when we are not, the dogs need to feel part of the family but I don't necessarily want them in the living room all the time. My software doesn't have pocket doors, but we'd probably use them on the living room wall, also gates. The dogs also need the west access to enter a dog run which will provide afternoon shade. For resale, the room can be converted into an additional bedroom and a den off the living room.

The mechanical room was designed at 3.5' because it will contain hydronics on the wall, on demand hot water on the wall and a safe facing the bedroom (I forgot to put a door to the hall). See revisions, I added the W/D to the room, I think hydronic valves and on-demand should fit above w/d.
I increased the pantry to 5.5' (freezers open to 5') and the kitchen aisle to 4.5'. Also, reconfigured second bath for more room. We will be bathing and grooming dogs in this room. The walk-in shower is mainly for them. The width is 3', the length is over 6'5" - not sure how long we need. ?

Suru:
Thanks. Made some revisions. The door banging in the master shouldn't be a problem, because it will only hold a safe and not used often.

With the revision on the north wall in the dining room there are now windows with counter height cabinets below. The only thing I haven't placed is the built-in vac motor/canister. Wondering if it could go in those cabinets?

I'm posting two elevations. One gable, one shed. The shed is of a timber framed house - which we love, but probably can't afford, but would would still prefer to do a shed roof.

After reading comments, my 'symmetrical' husband is suggesting maybe we bump out the master room wall either west or north to be equal with the center section. I think that would be fine with the shed roof and keeping the sides lower than the center, but not so much with a gable. ?

We would welcome all suggestions. I'd imagine a 40x60 is cheaper to build, but I don't like the look of a wide gable.

And, no, we don't want to go to a designer, yet, because the last two times we did they didn't listen. Each change we asked for wasn't changed, but something else done - of course with a hefty bill. Lots and lots of corner w/ complicated roofs, J&J bathroom when specifically asked not. Designed for the exterior flash, but we think simple exterior - spend the money inside. Would much rather work it out 95% with input here, then take it in for professional plans for the shell to make sure engineering is correct to handle snow loads, roof loads, etc. Our county doesn't require any plans.

On this first elevation (gable roof), we would not do the dormer. Probably not a porch, but an attached pergola.

Husband prefers the shed. Can it be done w/o timber framing and at a reasonable cost? This land is similar to ours, you can see why a window on the master W side isn't so much an issue, but if we "grow" the house to move the closet, we could get one. (See new post) Would like to maintain the master being recessed from the front of the house.

I just quickly bumped out the master wing to the north w/o designing bath and closet. This allows for a simple covered entry, a very large master w/west windows, and possible space to configure bath and closet to north. The W/D and safe could move also.

Oh, the grey area to the east of the front door is a 12" deep niche for coats on wall hooks. (We live rural, may or may not put sliding doors on it.)
