Room Relationships

1. Bedrooms should be grouped together, although the guest room should be associated with the public areas, yet should ensure that this room can maintain some degree of privacy when in use by guests.

2. The walk in wardrobe should be used as a buffer between the bedroom and ensuite (both as sound and visual buffer). Should also have sliding/opening doors on the wardrobes within the walk in closet so that when walking through the wardrobe, clothes aren't hanging out everywhere.

3. Small balcony off master bedroom.

4. Garage to have internal access from house.

Note: No kids play area - all children are adults.
