That's an electrical layout plan. Why don't you show the building plan with more detailed dimensions?
Or do you want comments only on electrical part?

My comments:

1. Wet - Dry Kitchen not linked? A bit troublesome to get from Wet Kitchen to Dining.

2. Bedrooms 2 & 3 too narrow (<<10ft wide), Dry Kitchen too narrow.

3. Ground Floor Bathroom in an awkward position, better to shift next to staircase, like 1st Floor Bathroom or to the back (Utility) so that Dry Kitchen has more space.

4. Bathroom has no direct window/ventilation

5.Master Room Bathroom too big, dressing area too small. Bathroom fitting positions looks odd.

6. Front and Back Door (Utility) line up - something to avoid for feng shui?

7. Utility too long and narrow (7' & 5')

Don't think this plan is drawn by someone with architectural training.

But you said it is a 'new house layout'.
So it is an old house. It is difficult to shift things around then
But the kitchen part looks weird. If I were you I would consider shifting the bathroom.

You haven't said what type of house that is. It looks like a semi-detached, or terrace corner unit or is it a cluster house(4 units)?
You can't do anything if it is a cluster house.
Shifting the bathroom is feasible if it is a semi-D. Since the Utility is already built-up, there is no structural work involved, just shifting of walls and laying of pipes which won't cost a lot. You can have the bathroom at the spot where the words (1plug point/washing machine/utility) are. Bedroom 3 can still have windows (4'x4')on the right against the side wall.

Actually, the dry kitchen is more for show, for making drinks, making cakes, etc.

It is the Wet Kitchen which is heavily used, for messy cooking and frying, typical of Asian cooking. smile.gif

The existing wet kitchen is ok, you don't want it to be too big or it would be hard to clean.
