heres a link of the basic down stairs layout- excuse my HORRID paint skills-http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff145/petstar21/house.jpg its pretty much around 5000 sw ft, circular stair case with a bridge overlooking gr8 room, and an atrium window over the front door. it has a mountain view as well. I had two concerns rlly. one- is this a good plan? laundry room down stairs is ok? also- i plan on having 4 br upstairs so is it necessary to make a guest bedroom next ro the dining room or something like that? ( i dnt personally rlly need it). also in regards to the gr8 room, im not sure wther to have the whole back wall windows so u can see starght thru the house from the exterior front atrium window and put the fire pl on the adjacent wall. but if that were the case- wheere would i put the entment center and tv? i dnt rlly want it above the f Pl . how can i set up that room? also, should i have it in the back wall centered, then u cnt see throuh? the kitchen window bays out fyi thnks also, if you have pics of any good exteriors- plz post! well the rooms are pretty big. the great room will be bigger than 20x20 i think aroung 25X23 or something like that. i cant remember
