Bom dia senorhas, it’s exciting getting plans moving forward. Come back daily or every other day and review looking for things you might have missed. Tweak it and retweak often.

1) in back of house, consider moving washer dryer to exterior wall on east side and storage to left as you enter room.

2) As the Camara won’t let you increase your window size, one of your biggest challenges is bringing in natural light into your home. Based on what I see your living room and kitchen will be somewhat dark. As you face front of house assuming we are looking due north, the whole eastern & western wall abuts another building….. correct? If so, you will need enormous amounts of natural lights brought in. The only light into that area are 2 small windows on front of the house. Same with your master bedroom. So, look at putting in skylights in your master AND most in particular the living room/dining room and kitchen. Velux make electric skylights with rain sensors on then. Space equal distances - total of four?????

3) Pay attention on how to bring air into your home. I’m talking about cross ventilation. The glass panel by kitchen - how about a transit window you could leave cracked open and front windows as well. The east and west walls abut other buildings - correct? So, think about how do we get cross breezes into home.

Great job you two. Hope you find this helpful.
