I submitted the sketch for House 500 a few weeks ago, mostly as an exercise in OUTRAGEOUS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN and to push myself to the limits, but, alas it has been made known by the forces in the universe that more information is needed about this home, so I am working backwards from the perspective sketch to try to hammer out a floor plan. These two sketches give you an idea of how my slightly warped mind works in regards to such a feat. Many dimensions will be altered, and some exterior features will surely be moved like chimneys. I'd love to do a real medieval/fantasy house but I'm just too practical and stuck in luxury home land!! Budget estimate: 3 million bucks, at least.
So go for it! Critique it, throw some ideas out there, now's the time to do it. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings!!
I'm not sure about the guest bedroom on the ground floor, lovely as it is. That seems a natural place for the sitting room + study or library (and one absolutely has to have a larger leather-scented library in a house like this, to provide somewhere to withdraw to after dinner
A cloakroom, in the old manner, might be nice for storage near the door too; in that sense the study feels a little cut off from the other social areas of the house, but perhaps that is your intention?
I love the idea of 3 separate stairs despite the extravagence...(please say the 1st floor is accessible throughout?) is there a basement too?
