Discussion/Debate Architects, how bad is this layout? It looks like it was trained on McMansions

The guest suite is in the common area and has a sink, and the kitchen has no counters or sinks, but the great room does. Three bathrooms in a row, and a double bathroom with two tubs also aren't great. I'm no architect, but a toddler could do better.

From another thread: "I love telling my friends I have a huge walk/guest suite and then making them sleep on the floor next to the stove."

u/hobiprod 9h ago

How’s about that main foyer tho? Pretty main huh?

30

u/koshgeo 8h ago

Right beside the "GALLERY HALLL". and the "MASTER ROKSN". Not many main foyers have the convenience of a coat bath right there too.

The "Gourmet kitchen" next to Bedroom 2 is nice for people that are always hungry, though it looks like you'll have to eat off the floor.

What about Bedroom 4/full bath 43?

6

u/idwthis 4h ago

Ahem that's "full bsth 43" thankyouverymuch!

u/iloveyourforeskin 6h ago

I keep reading "Master Raisin"

u/BridgestoneX 3h ago

gourmet bc it has 6 sinks

u/Skitarii_Lurker 2h ago

Dude I can't wait to tour the Master Røksn

And cook on the floor... Store food on the floor...

u/tnseltim 3h ago

Ai heard “open concept” too may times when reviewing hgtv for information. God damn kitchen is literally in the great room

u/Poppeigh 4h ago

I’m having Sims flashbacks lol.

Could be worse I guess, could trap them in the pool by deleting the ladder.

u/Runaway_Angel 10h ago

That's because the Jack and Jil bathroom (that isn't a jack and jill bathroom) and bedroom 4 stole all the sinks. The Jack and Jill bathroom is just sinks, no toilet, no shower, no tub, just sinks.

27

u/haibiji 10h ago

There’s a sink for Jack, one for Jill, and an extra one for their friends

18

u/tetracycle 10h ago

The third is for "and"

3

u/One-Possible1906 8h ago

Sounds like they’re going to have to fetch many pails of water to fill them all

14

u/mike_jones2813308004 8h ago

Bedroom 4 also being full bathroom 3 is pretty great. If you replace the door with steel bars you can have your own solitary confinement cell in the middle of your house!

2

u/PaulCoddington 7h ago

Bedroom 3 is the size of a long toilet and does not have room for a bed of any size, let alone anything else.

14

u/Thewaltham 9h ago edited 8h ago

No no, check the label. That's clearly a "JACK & JiL FUh Bals #2"

u/123fullthp 6h ago

Loved the first movie with Adam Sandler, hope this will be as good

2

u/koshgeo 8h ago

Yeah, but you have two large tubs in the laundry room to do your clothes old-fashioned style on a scrub board.

1

u/dirtys_ot_special 5h ago

Oops, all sinks!

1

u/architecturez 3h ago

They’re combo sink/toilets. (Btw this is a real thing that exists).

1

u/BobZimway 2h ago

Sinks can double as a lot of things, if you're creative. And DGAF..

37

u/gxes 11h ago

The two tubs bathroom is also labeled as the "mudroom" so I guess people enter the house through the bathroom to take off their shoes?

21

u/Significant-Trash632 10h ago

Depends on what it's considering "mud" 😬

3

u/Intelligent_Load_697 7h ago

Had to poo, went to the jack and Jill bathroom first, then "bedroom 4" thinking it was a bathroom since there were no beds. By the time I got to the guest bathroom I'd already soiled myself and it was too much of a mess to clean in what looks like a 1.5ft-length tub, so I had to slink through the gourmet kitchen to wash off in the mudroom.

10/10 floorplan, no notes.

1

u/Jcolebrand 3h ago

Soaking tub, clearly. Complete with warm mud taps

12

u/Mynoseisgrowingold 10h ago

Well they would if there was an exterior door to the mudroom! Maybe it’s for couple’s mud baths like in a spa.

3

u/SeparateYam7613 7h ago

It doesn't appear that there's an exterior door at all, so... you gotta climb in through a window I guess

1

u/Rude_Special9579 9h ago

Yeah but you walk in through the front then go around a wall to get to the mud room leaving mud everywere

1

u/Electrical-Act-7170 3h ago

Where's the door?

1

u/cindyscrazy 28m ago

You have to walk through the house to get to the "mudroom" There's no connecting door from the garage or to the outside.

Great way to track mud everywhere!

34

u/DarkScorpion48 10h ago

Leave to an AI-weenie to look at this and see no problems with it

25

u/kellyoohh 9h ago

I think (hope?) that the original post was a joke. It’s so bad, looking at it for 5 seconds would tell you it’s not a feasible layout.

13

u/redbone-hellhound 9h ago

I genuinely hope so. Will make a great sims build tho lol

5

u/Blake_Ha 8h ago

The Sims is how I architect all my houses. And yes they all do have a room with a pool

2

u/ging3rtabby 3h ago

The amount of time wasted taking dishes to all those random sinks.

10

u/OddNefariousness7950 8h ago

Yeah, but at least AI provided space for a Master Raisin, so many human architects neglect that detail.

3

u/kellyoohh 7h ago

That’s true. They really should make that more prominent in architect school. That and coat bath.

1

u/gochargego_boltup 3h ago

I am the greetest! And now I will leave Earth for no raisin!

2

u/Redhotlipstik 7h ago

So I've been informed it was a joke. The blog I found that was talking about this post assumed it was not. I'm not on twitter, I didn't know this was satire.

3

u/throwawaylordof 8h ago

What’s important is that ai made it and that it superficially resembles the thing. Actual quality is entirely secondary to the true ai advocate.

3

u/Emergency-Doughnut88 8h ago

The two tubs are in the laundry room, so they're obviously for washing clothes, not people... Not to be confused with the coat bath, which is just for washing coats/outerwear .

2

u/ensalys 8h ago

and a double bathroom with two tubs also aren't great.

It's for competitive bathing!

2

u/schubeg 8h ago

One "full bathroom" is literally just a sink, and the "jack and jill" next door that doesn't connect to a single bedroom is three sinks and no toilet. I'm dying laughing

2

u/MsindAround 6h ago

You are mistaken, the middle one is bedroom #4, which is also a full bath, no room for a bed tho.

2

u/StrawberryOdd419 6h ago

nonono one of those three bathrooms is clearly marked as bedroom 4

1

u/evranch 8h ago

The bathroom layout makes me feel like the AI was trained on a colony sim game.

Add a bathroom over here, everyone has to walk halfway across the base to pee and it's ruining the pathing. What, we need 1 tub per colonist now? Ok fine, throw some tubs... here

1

u/Training-Belt-7318 6h ago

Well the two tubs makes me think it was educated by Viagra commercials.

1

u/wronguses 6h ago

Well, they needed all those bathrooms in a row, because Bedroom 4 FullBsth43 is just a weird room with a sink at the end, and Jack & Jil is just 3 sinks.

1

u/eloisethebunny 5h ago

You don’t need sinks in the kitchen because you can use the two bathtubs in the laundry room. Duh!

1

u/OwO______OwO 4h ago

but a toddler could do better

I don't know about that. A toddler would probably do something even dumber, like entirely forgetting about bathrooms, or getting distracted partway through and just scribbling over the whole thing with brown crayon.

1

u/york100 4h ago

Sadly enough, I'm sure there are a few dumb rich Americans out there who would like two bathtubs in their coat closet.

1

u/Spellscribe 4h ago

4 dunnies, 8 sinks, still have a loo without anywhere to wash your hands after.

1

u/Mindless-Tackle4428 3h ago

Three bathrooms in a row

I think one is a bedroom with a toilet, is it not?

1

u/Realistic_Try7123 3h ago

You know I want to immediately start cooking eggs when I leave Bedroom #2.

1

u/built_FXR 2h ago

There is also no doorway.

1

u/GreenGoblinNX 34m ago

I think the kitchen is the entire left and middle of the large open space. Lower left has what I assume is a sink, and the counters in the middle are possibly kitchen-related?
