Question: I ordered the plans already but I’m hoping there are suggested locations for skylights. Also. If you have any pictures of this home (already built). U would appreciate ideas for the coffee corner (I know what I would like but am open to ideas). Finally, is the wall between the flex room and bedroom a support wall? I would like to add a sliding shelf door between those rooms so basically I will need to ask my builder to cut out a hole in that wall.
Answer: Should consult the builder with skylight locations. It is also dependent on what you want for natural light and where. I regret we do not have any pictures available for this design from past customers. Wall between the flex room and bedroom is load bearing. So opening would simply need a header.
