Dytecture So you basically added a room at the bottom of the plan and extended a bedroom ? The new hall / courtyard is a good idea.

aichoucha Yes I added a step up living room and i opened up the living rooms. I added also a new hall. for the kitchen. So which hall do you mean?

Josh Pierce Why all the walls separating the spaces? Is it possible to combine the library and living room into one large room?

aichoucha Thanks Josh, I think that would be a very good idea. Any more ideas?

Studio S Squared Architecture, Inc. Widen the kitchen into the super wide hallway, then open it into the living room.

Josh Pierce Try to flip the living room in the upper right with the bedroom in the upper left, then I would convert that new living room into a dining room and knock the party wall between the kitchen and new dining room.

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design Looking good! Love every ones suggestions -

Arlene Warda, Architecture+Interior Design Is this a lighted courtyard, or atrium? is it open with windows to the sky, it couid be a nice place! It depends on what country, or climate you are in. It could provide a nice garden court, private garden views within. A garden court would be easy to install and relatively inexpensive. You may want to consider an area for planters, seating, movable plants, and purchasing a small water fountain. Here are some small fountain ideas, put on an interior wall, in your courtyard.
They have them mail order.
