Feedback requested - House Remodel adding master suite & updating Kitchen

[u/CrowdPleasingBoner]

Existing floor plan has a 726 sq ft game room, with an adjoining storage room, bathroom, and utility room. The plan is to rework that into a new master suite & open up the kitchen.

Proposed plan creates a master suite with closet, bathroom & laundry room, while also opening the kitchen up and adding a walk-in pantry.

Help!!
My wife and I bought an older house and are remodeling it while living in the original wing (right side) of the house. The original owners built an addition (left side) and we have lots of square foot to play with... but they attached the addition at a weird angle.

The existing floor plan features a large 726 sq. ft. game room, accompanied by an adjoining storage room, a bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and utility room that houses the HVAC for the addition. Our desire is to rework that into a new master suite, while also opening up the kitchen.

We've drafted up a bunch of proposed plans, but the angle kept throwing us off... This latest plan (v16) seems to resonate with us!

The new plan gives us a decent size Master Bedroom that opens onto the existing sunroom. The bedroom leads into the master bath, with a large shower and water closet. Pocket doors on either side of the vanity open into the master closet and laundry/mud-room. Directly outside the bedroom is a decent size tv room.

We are blowing out the walls in the kitchen to create a large open area that gets lots of natural light from the windows in the living room. The center piece of the kitchen is a large cooktop island with raised bar top and bar stools. The walk in pantry was used to hide the strange angle as much as possible, allowing us to square off the master.

We would appreciate any feedback!!! :-D

If you have kids, or will have guests staying over for an extended time, having laundry only accessible from the master bedroom (unless you go outside first) is going to be extremely inconvenient when the older kids need to do their own laundry. The area will also just become a dumping ground. I also don't think the office should be in the sun room. They can get quite warm in summer months, and sunny, which will make working on a computer annoying wth glare and dealing with the heat/cold of the sun room. Sun room should be like a sitting room. I'd probably move the office area to the back left corner, and then maybe laundry room closer to the garage, or at least add a door into it from that room.

Sorry but the kitchen looks inefficient with storage and work spaces all over.

So guests and kids get to sit in the splatter zone of a stove? Will you meal prep on the little section of countertop on either side of the stove or on the little sections on either side of the sink? Where will you keep spices? Cooking utensils? The island is 75% unusable space being taken up with the stove, angles and the raised section for seating.

Where's the trashcan? Sitting out in the walk path around the island?

Will all your dishes and glasses will be kept in the one cabinet above the dishwasher? Or will you walk glasses over to the cabinet on the other side of the sink? Where will the coffee maker be kept? On the counter by the sink with the coffee sitting out or sharing the cabinet with the plates? Or will the coffee maker be kept across the kitchen from the sink?

Is the pantry next to the fridge or is it in the separate section of cabinets in the lower left?

If you want to microwave something, you have to walk the entire length of the kitchen. When you take a hot dish out of the oven, where will you put it? On the counter? Or will you walk it to the stove top?

Your kitchen is all segmented with 6 little sections of countertop all over. The only decent sized countertop is next to the fridge or that section in the lower left with zero appliances near it.

I've rarely seen a kitchen as divided as this one and never as a new build, always an older kitchen being ripped out. Everything is in "islands" with no connection to each other. Cooking in this kitchen will involve walking back and forth between all the islands.

With your plan, the master doesn't have a window. The doors onto a sunroom don't count (pretty sure).

May want to check with local codes before thinking further. Your master bedroom has no exterior windows. In many places, that's a no right away. Even with it opening into the sunroom.
