Interior Layout & Features

The design features a **great room** that is open to the **kitchen + dining area** — meaning a large, unobstructed visual flow, which tends to feel spacious and bright. 11
The **kitchen** includes a **large island** with seating enough for up to six — useful for family meals or entertaining guests. 12
There’s a **home office** (on the main level), which could also function as a **walk-in pantry, playroom or exercise room** depending on your needs. 13
The **master suite** is placed at the back of the house for privacy; it includes a **walk-in closet** and a full bathroom with a generous **4′8″ × 7′ shower** plus extra cabinet storage. 14
Bedroom distribution: one bedroom near the front, and two others across the house. This layout often helps with privacy and flexibility, especially for families. 15

Exterior walls designed as 2×6 — a sturdy framing that allows for good insulation or structural stability. 16
Foundation type: standard / stem wall. 17
Plan package includes: floor plans (1/4″ scale) with window/door schedule; foundation plan; exterior elevations (front, sides, rear); interior elevations (cabinets, columns, cabinetry walls, etc.); building sections; typical specifications sheet. 18
Plan does **not** include mechanical drawings (HVAC), plumbing pipe sizing or energy/calculation details. Those need to be handled locally — which is typical when you’re adapting a plan designed abroad to a different country. 19

Style is described as a mix of **Country / Modern Farmhouse / Ranch / Traditional**. 20
The decorative gable with windows and the full-width front porch gives strong curb appeal and a welcoming “homey” look. 21
Because of the open layout and single-story design, the house feels accessible, airy, and practical for everyday family living. 22

Single-story layout: easier to build and maintain, and more accessible for people of all ages.
Front porch + open flow living/kitchen/dining can support natural ventilation and social/family living — which fits well with informal indoor-outdoor lifestyle typical in warmer climates.
Home office / additional flexible room gives versatility: could be used as pantry, guest room, storage, or utility room depending on your needs.
With a 2×6 wall framing and decent roof pitch, there is scope to adapt the design to local construction norms (though material choice and finishing would need local adaptation).

Mechanical systems (plumbing, electrical, possibly air-conditioning or ventilation) are **not included** in the plan.
23
Climate adaptation: While the plan gives structural dimensions, you may want to adjust roof overhangs, eaves, window sizing/position, and shading to suit tropical climate (sun, rain, heat).
Materials: 2×6 framing, foundation type, local stone/brick/blocks — you will need to map these to locally available materials and consider cost.
Outdoor living / parking / driveway / drainage: The plan as-is shows the house footprint and porch, but site-specific design (plot orientation, car parking, drainage) will need to be handled locally.
