This uptown community needed a house of a fair size made primarily for party-goers and entertainment. It has it own water treatment part, with solar panels included on the roof to provide a very self-sustaining home for a expanded budget. This house sits at 56 Bellfort in Brantford, Ontario.
Analyzing this floor plan for a 1900 sq ft, country style house from left to right we can see the two bedrooms with a bathroom shared. The designer thought it was a good idea to place a full bath shared between the smaller two bedrooms because the master bedroom has an on-suite. The great room is directly off of the foyer and is accessible to all guests that can come straight through foyer instead of having to detour throughout the other rooms. The great room and the breakfast nook are open concept along with a kitchen and an isle making extra counter space. The dining room is off of the kitchen and is open concept with the foyer. There is a half-bath off of the breakfast nook and across from the bath is a storage space with the utilities inside. Accessible through the utilities is the two-car garage. Past the half-bath and the utilities unit is the master bedroom on the left. The hallway is minimal to avoid wasting space. Once in the master bedroom there is a bay window, an exit onto the back porch, a walk-in closet and through thee walk-in closet is a master bathroom with shower, bath and two sinks. Extra space in the garage, the bathrooms and the bedrooms are made into closets for storage space. The back porch has been extended to reach the wall and become accessible to the master bedroom.

The floor plan above has a few things I’ve noticed that I either like or dislike.
Like:
· The full-bath is shared between the two smaller bedrooms
· The back porch extended to the master bedroom
· The living room being directly through the foyer
· The breakfast nook, kitchen and dining room all being lined up
· The kitchen and the utilities being close possibly for easier ventilation
· The master bedroom having a walk-in closet and an on-suite bathroom
Dislike:
· Five windows being over a porch (easy to look in, easy to break in)
· The bay window in the master bedroom
· The dining room being open with the foyer
· The cathedral and vaulted ceilings because of difficulty for cleaning
· The half-bath could have been placed in a better location more spaced out from the master bathroom
Above is a 3 bedroom, 1700 sq. ft bungalow with an unfinished basement. The master bedroom has a bay window with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom includes a Jacuzzi, a double sink and a shower. Outside of the master bedroom there is a closet for storage space, the laundry room and an entrance to the garage. Through the hall are the dining area and the kitchen. The kitchen and dining room are partially open concept while the dining room and great room are completely open concept. The great room and dining room both have sloped ceilings. There are doors from the dining room and great room leading out to the back porch. Through the great room is the entrance way leading out onto the front porch. To the right of the foyer is a washroom which is shared between the two attached bedrooms. The bedroom to the right of the bathroom is slightly smaller than the other bedroom and has a different doorway. Each of these two bedrooms has two windows. The garage has a bay door and another entrance form the outside near the far back corner.
