Hi. I am from India and making a new house. These are the floor Plans and elevation proposed. Please help if any suggestions you think you can give. Thanks. Pratik
Please forgive my comments if they are not applicable as it is difficult to read the plans from my computer and I am unable to enlarge them. I live in America so I recognize the difference in cultures but just a few things you may want to consider: The kitchen appears to have windows that have a view to nothing significant, whereas if it was on the opposite side of the house, the views would be of the lovely garden. Also, the kitchen appears a distance from the garage, where the grocery/shopping items would be carried in from. I believe a better location would be somewhere closer to the garage with easier access to transport items. Another consideration is the idea we call a "Great Room"--whereby the kitchen is open & next to the living room. This is a beautiful layout conducive to ongoing conversation with guests & family members alike and much prefered to cooking in a room alone, separated from loved ones. Since the house is multiple levels, I would recommend placing the laundry room (washer/dryer) on the level with the most bedrooms. This allows for ease of accessibility vs. up/down multiple stairs to transport dirty/clean clothes.
Best wishes to you! I think you are wise in soliciting suggestions/input now as there are many changes I still wish I would have made. :)
@dpannu- thank you so much looking the floor plan. In India the labour and servants are very easy to afford so all the grocery and household items will be bought by them from the back stairs to the kitchen directly. And the area besides the kitchen is only for wash and dry where the house maids will be washing clothes so that is also not necessary with every room. And the same goes on with kitchen. A cook will be always dere for cooking and the kitchen which I am looking forward for will have the full open view in the dining room which goes on up to living room. The wall between the kitchen and dining will have 4 feet height which will act as a place to keep fruits and munching. And the thing about view is that the house is being built a compound owned by myself and the back side of house is my club having a nice pool side view. In front of the house lies a huge 15 k sq feet garden fully flowered. Whenever I visit the area I will upload the pictures. Thanks And I look forward for more ideas and suggestions. Thank you again
