My husband and I really love the look of this house and that is suits our needs, but our lot depth and the requirements for front and back yards  means that we will have to modify it to be 10 feet less in depth.  We also want to extend the depth of the kitchen/nook area and great room.  It looks like we will have to basically make the back of the house flat, which isn't a huge deal, we can add some landscaping features to give us privacy.  I am thinking that we would basically take 5' off the depth of the master bath and add it to the side, move the garage 5' into the house, and extend that side of the house by about 8-10 feet, making the entire back of the house flush.  That would make the overall depth 10 feet less without actually cutting down on the square footage of the house.  Anyone have thoughts or knowledge on if this will work from a structural standpoint?  Also, would it be possible to make the back bedroom on the 2nd floor larger or structurally would that not work. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 Thanks!

Whenever you change the shape of a home, there will obviously be some extensive modificaitons.  However, if you are creative, you can minimize the work needed to redraft your plans.  For example, with KA17-1, you could slide the kitchen and breakfast areas back as well.  That way you're only modifying the way it connects to the rest of the house.  The breakfast room would just become larger.  It would also make bedroom 2 bigger.  There might be a need for some additional supoort.  Making bedroom 3 bigger would be a lot more involved.  You would have to build over the garage and install some beams for support.  The master bath is a little bit tricky.  It's hard to say what would be best until you have the plans in front of you.  I can always have our modification department take a look at your request and come up with a quote for you.  I'll try and get them to post here.  Send us an email to sales@theplancollection.com with your contact information.
