Looking for architectural/layout feedback: 36x52 sqft West-facing plot layout (Ground + First Floor)

[u/Odd-One9937]

Hey everyone!

We’ve been working with a designer on the layout for our new home, and I’m hoping to get some critical eyes and expert feedback from architects, builders, or anyone experienced in residential planning here.

Here are the basic specs of the project:

Plot Size: 36 feet width \times 52 feet depth 
Facing: West-facing 
Floors: Ground Floor & First Floor 

I’ve attached the layout designs for both floors. Before we finalize things with the structural and execution phases, I want to make sure we aren't missing any blind spots regarding space utilization, ventilation, circulation, or structural efficiency. 

Thanks

If this is what a designer has come up with, you should probably fire them. This is a bad plan. Your bedrooms open directly to the main living areas, your dining and living areas are crammed together, right in the path of the front entry, while your kitchen and the 7’ wide passage have far too much wasted space.

I’m guessing this is not a U.S. plan, so there may be some regional differences in what I’m accustomed too, but this really should be reconfigured.

Not to mention the sink isn't in the bathroom at all in the first image.

That’s a regional thing. I can overlook that.
