New construction or remodel? You need to draw out to scae what is there or propsed, where windows and doors are, what can and cannot be moved. Help us help you...........................

Our property is some what pie shaped, with the widest part towards the east end. It is also wooded with most of the trees on the south side. So the best views will be to the east. We plan to place the house running from the northeast to the southwest to let more light in. The garage will be about 20' from the north property line. We've actually worked with a architect in the past, but they have since closed up shop. It was a struggle as they couldn't get what we were after; an front entry that doesn't open into the living room (i.e privacy) , a not so open floor plan and finally a plan that doesn't looks like every other house. I'm curious what are the other problems you see?

We have a playroom downstairs. Plan to also finish basement with a family room/rec room. Two girls in one room main floor so we don’t have much in toys in there.

I understand that you don't want the bedroom doors to open directly into the main room. Take some space from each room in the middle of the addition as an entry hall. One steps into this area and turns to whichever door one wants. Also have the doors open against the wall so there is more free space in the room. The small indented area in each room can be used as a wardrobe, or to hold a chest of drawers.As your floor plan shows no other doors or windows I cannot be certain this will work out. It was, to me, the obvious fix, but there may be some obstruction I don't know about.
