JC-104 plan revisions

About a week ago I had another meeting with my clients. I have previously emailed them the two rough draft plans. They came back with more definitive ideas of what they wanted altered in the floor plan.

We discussed the various pros and cons of the changes they want. We reloaced the mud room and 3/4 bath to the west, between the kitchen and the garage. We also came to a tentative decision regarding the location of the fireplace. The master bath and closet was moved to the north end of the master suite.

There will be two additional rooms on the main floor that qualify as bedrooms. The stairs were moved slightly to accomodate bedrooms on the lower level.

Below is a jpg of the latest revision.

I have emailed this revision to my clients for review. Some of my next tasks include the layout for the lower floor and using an energy modeling application to determine energy efficiency. Since the clients want to rely heavily on passive as well as active solar for heating as well as natural cooling, window placement and configurations will be critical.
