Another question is what kind of material for the flooring
Hard wood throughout with tile in the kitchen, entrance, and bathrooms. Carpet is ugly and disgusting.
Yea,.. so is walking across the floor and walking across 'stuff' the kids drop.
I swear - a dirt floor house would be cleaner.
Then wood? Something that can be easily cleaned?

Yes,.. Just wait till that darling child of yours brings friends home and runs all over the house,.. eating snacks,... Not only does the basement look like a LEGO truck wrecked down here,.. but the hardwood/tile upstairs is splattered with this that and the other...

quick thought on the Hotwater and either on 100GAL tank or tankless...
you could also go with a re-circulation system... some houses have this.
There is a contact switch at the sinks which starts a timer to run a pump and circulates hot water from the tank to the sinks and back to the tank input. This gets the hot water to the tap, but doesn't waste water down the drain.

Need to try to get rid of those hallways though. Hallways are wasted space.
While I understand what you're saying... I think they are often critical to good design.
Personally I don't want my master bedroom touching the living room/family room at all. That space is where people will be even after you go to bed. If you don't isolate the bedrooms away from the living space, then you could easily have a noise problem.
in the case of your posted plans, I would put the closet and bathroom between the bedroom and the kitchen/living rooms.

I had a hallwayless house once, we loved it.

Its not your current house, is it? If not, could you redraw the layout to give us an idea of what it looked like and why you loved it so much?

as long as the bedroom was not directly against the living room or family room, that is fine.
I have seen a few layouts where there is basically an alcove off the kitchen/dining room with doors going in 3 directions to bedrooms and a bathroom. so not a hallway.

That's what we had. Tiny alcove, just big enough to hold a closet door, bathroom door and bedroom door. Connected to the living room where the living room met the kitchen.

You could achieve this with storage space too. We'll see what the builders offer. It'll be fun to show you guys whenever that ends up happening

For a moment I thought that this was about Storage Spaces. But nope, actually discussing storage space. LOL
