Update for my Revit House!

So we're making progress on our houses! Though I am still considerably far behind, I have in fact, finished my floor, stairs and walls, thus I was able to print out a floor plan!



These are my floor plans!
Since I literally just finished the floor, the walls, and the stairs, that's really all that's there! There are no doors or windows or appliances or ANYTHING.

So the one on top is the first floor and the one on bottom's the second floor. The front door is in the bottom, on that diagonal wall to the left-ish of the stairs. When you enter, you're greeted by a nice little foyer. To the left's the kitchen, and if you go straight ahead, past the stairs, you reach the Great Room. The wall on the right is HUGE! considering that the roof in this room goes all the way up to the second floor ceiling, 'cause it's open and all, the right side wall is two stories tall! I plan to have a projector set up in the Study, that will be remotely controlled to the TV, and any other things that you may want to experience in the Great Room.

Behind the Great room was originally supposed to be some sort of work out room, or recreation room, but then I suddenly realized, I DON'T HAVE A UTILITY ROOM! Considering that this room is right below the Master Bathroom, it only made perfect sense that this room could be used for things like laundry, dryer, water heater, etc.

Going to the left, past the bathroom (the door to which will be on the diagonal), there's a small hallway; there will be windows on the upward side (of the drawing), full height to the ceiling, looking out on a patio. Moving past this hallway, we find the Dining room! I had a real heck of a time trying to figure out the way this room should work. I knew that I wanted some sort of curve, but I also wanted a flat wall. I eventually figured it out, and frankly I think it looks good enough.

Turning left again, we move into the kitchen. There is going to be a bar or something between the kitchen and the Dining room, but I haven't yet implemented it. There may also be an island, but I'm not too sure yet. This kitchen is huge, and I'm not entirely sure how to utilize all the space. At the far end of the kitchen is a pantry, rather large, where pantry items are to be stored. Passing the pantry, we make it back to the foyer, where we'll climb the stairs to the second floor.


The second floor is absolutely bizarre. I wanted to have three bedrooms, but I also wanted to maintain the curves of the lower level This contributes to extremely irregularly shaped bedrooms.

So at the top of the stairs, to the left is a bit of a sitting room. This was a must; a fundamental key component that was in my sketch from the beginning. I could probably have easily made simple stairs and bedrooms if it weren't for this room. This room is probably the main reason for all the difficulty I had when designing my stairs, but in the end, I TRIUMPHED, and was able to both have my cake, and eat it. There will be large windows in the front of the house that peer into the sitting room.

If you turn right at the top of the stairs, you come to the Master Bedroom. The Master Bathroom is attached to it, and so too is a front deck. Under the Master Bedroom is the Garage, with a front facing garage door, that I may later decide to move over to the other side.

going back into the hall, you come over to the bathroom. The bathroom is incredibly irregular, but this design is quite logical; it provides many parallel lines to other walls, making it seem easier to navigate. I don't know, perhaps I'll just make it round. 

Moving past the bathroom, is the Study. I know this room will have a projector, and probably some windows and stuff.

The bedrooms are next; they are very strange; that's probably all I need to say about them.

The study is actually overhanging with no room below it. This creates a nice awning, for a patio that will have patio things. Also, the sitting room overhangs in the front, to make a small covering, in case it's raining or something.

That's pretty much all that there is to my house, and I am really proud of it. The walls were horrible to adjust, because there are quite a few that are really really annoying. Also, the floor is hard-wood.
