Hello you home designers!  

this attached floor plan is a home I plan to build with the first floor being accessible.

This house will be built using SIP panels, so  Douglas fur beams will span  either just the living room for a cathedral ceiling.

or the beams could span the entire center section.

This is  still a work in progress and all suggestions are appreciated.

trying to keep an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining &  living room 

I placed these stairs here as I feel the  stair walls will add some support to the house.

I really am open to suggestions for placement of stairs to basement level

as it is a sloped lot and will be walk out and could have two more bedrooms and 2-  more bathrooms

OK,  easy for you to say David,  Took me a few minutes but i got it thank you!

Untitled 2.planThere are all kinds of dimensions on the over view and I do not know how to hide those for now.

Stairs are always a problem for me as well, trying to find the best location  

 as I plan on doing a walk out basement with one or two bedrooms  in the basement.

Thank you Eric,  I worked out the floor problem.  I will  see if that bathroom configuration will work for me, thanks.

I like to have full bath for each bedroom and a half bath for guests plus washer and dryer on the main level.

and I am going  for wheelchair accessible..    Having trouble now  with terrain and  creating a walk out basement.

do I  start build terrain perimeter on the basement level or the main level? Thanks for any help

OK David,  I figured our that when I put in a stair well somehow I said open to below on the whole floor

once I named it living room and not open to below  i got my floor back.

Trying to find a good place to place the stairs to the basement in this plan, I always have a problem with stair placement

I appreciate your help David.
