This floor plan was the design our clients preferred, but it needs to be modified. Please read on and give suggestions if you have any good ideas.

The second choice:
Why they chose this design:
-
Liked the master bathroom.
-
Liked the kitchen.
The Design they chose will need to be altered, it is not completely accessible.
Issues with this design:
- Need bathtub in master bathroom.
- Master bedroom closet is 5′ wide which is enough for a wheelchair to turn around but not for a rack of clothes on each side of the closet, master bedroom closet needs to be 9′ wide.
- Family does not want toilet in utility room.
- Garage needs to have 2-12′ doors and face the east so there won’t be as much as an issue with snow build-up in the winter.
- Only 4′ between kitchen cabinets and island, needs to be a minimum of 5′ to allow wheelchair access.
- Family doesn’t care about having a formal dining room, would like to have more storage for food from kitchen.
- Need a wood stove to heat house included in plan.
- Family currently has a sunroom full of plants and would like a sunroom for plants in their new house as well.
