I'll suggest the plan needs work too, especially the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Tell us about the occupants, what direction the house will face, describe the building site, and who is doing the design (builder, designer/drafter or architect).

And include anything else that you feel would be important for someone to know.

How does it relate to the site? Please provide a site plan.

Also where in Fl Are you in a hurricane area

I thought Florida was a hurricane area.

Bedrooms 2 &3 need to be swapped with bathrooms 2 & 3 and those bathrooms should have windows.

Your rec room floor plan shows a window that is not shown on the elevation. Definitely need a window and it should be larger.

The dining area is disproportionately small for a home this size. Also, think the secondary bedrooms wing needs to be reworked to put bedrooms on exterior and bathrooms on interior. I also believe at least one of those should be a tub/shower. Children will use a tub for 5-7 years, and using a freestanding tub in master to bathe a child is impractical. Even if you don’t have small children, think grandchildren visiting down the road. I would also consider modifying the garage entry to place it nearer to pantry for flow

I post this all the time. Anything in bold needs to be looked at and most likely reworked if possible

The best houses orient the public rooms towards the south for the best passive solar heating and cooling

The best houses are L, U, T, H, or I shaped.

The best houses are only one to two rooms deep. And covered lanai, porches, garages, etc count as rooms in this case.

The best houses make sure kitchens have natural light, meaning windows so one doesn't have to have lighting 24/7 to use the kitchen. (And no, dining areas with windows 10' or more from the kitchen will not allow for natural light.)

The best houses make sure all public rooms and bedrooms have windows on at least two walls.

The best houses do not if possible put mechanical rooms, pantries or closets on outside walls

The best houses do not have diagonal interior walls making for odd spaces. (Or in this case a bedroom closet where clothes will not be able to be hung)

The best houses keep public and private spaces separate. (I"m looking at your master bedroom up against the living room.)

The best houses do not have you walk through the work zone of the kitchen to bring laundry to the laundry room.

The best houses do not have the mudroom go through any of the work zones of the kitchen.

The best houses do not use the kitchen as a hallway to any other rooms.

The best houses do not put toilets or toilet rooms up against bedroom walls or public areas.

The best houses do not have walk in closets too small to stand inside.

The best houses have separation, such as closets, between bedrooms and between bedrooms and public rooms.

The best houses do not have roofs that are overly large, and dominate the exterior of the house.

The best houses do not have stick on exterior materials only on the front façade. (like the board and batten shown only on the front elevation.)

The best houses have an organizing “spine” so it’s easy to determine how to get from room to room in the house and what makes sense. Meaning they don’t have meandering circulation paths.

All of FL is a hurricane zone and the homeowners insurance situation is a nightmare. Hope your home turns out beautiful and all the hurricanes miss you!!!

Just a small comment about the location of the a/c units. Do not put them outside your bedroom. They will run almost 24/7 and they are noisy. I have new impact windows which are almost never opened, and I can still hear the a/c unit when I am inside the house. The noise is not "white noise" and is very annoying, especially in the evening when everything else is quiet.

The angles in the bedroom wing make me crazy. Put the sink on the island instead of the cooktop. I like a lot about the plan, though.

I know it's all hurricane zone but I was implying that further in from the shoreline is not always as impactful. The issue is insurance companies prefer hip roofs because they hold up better in high winds. But yes getting insurance nowadays here in FL is a nightmare, and the legislature made it easier for the insurance companies and harder for the homeowners. Must be nice to be in the insurance co pockets.

A bunch of them domiciled in FL are insolvent, so yeah.

The 3 dog house dormers are cute but don't provide enough natural light and ventilation for the upstairs bedroom and den. If you're going to build such a tall gable roof in a hurricane zone you need to get greater tangible benefits.

Living here in FL, I have to agree with Res.

LIghtly looking at the plan, the biggest thing standing out are the secondary bathrooms being put at the outer edge of the footprint instead of the bedrooms proper.

I was going to point that out. If the bathrooms "come inward" and the bedrooms "go outward", the bedrooms can have more windows /will be more pleasant.

The living room, too, is going to be dark, as it's sandwiched in the middle of the house.

The dining area is disproportionately small for a home this size.

I was going to point this out too. Note, too, that the dining room doubles as a pathway for the two bedrooms and garage entry into the house. This area needs to be considerably larger.

Other thoughts:

- The Great Room isn't particularly large for a house this size ... note that a part of this room will have to be devoted to walking aisle.

- The pathway between the garage and the pantry is long /convoluted. Ideally it'd be simplified, but -- if not -- how about opening a door between the pantry and the garage so you could just "set things through" and walk in without carrying anything.

- The laundry room is a long way from the master bedroom ... lots of steps.

- Master bath is rather oversized ... making it expensive and potentially cold.

- Bedrooms 2 and 3 have rather smallish closets. I'd consider combining these two bathrooms /making them a Jack and Jill.
