Hello dear community,
we are a family of four (2 adults, 2 children) currently planning to build a house. It is quite challenging to find a floor plan with 3 bedrooms plus an office that still fits within an affordable size. Therefore, we have tried out several layouts and look forward to your feedback and comments. This is our initial sketch. Our main goal is to make the most efficient use of the available space. We plan to use this floor plan to obtain comparable offers from home builders.
Thank you in advance!
