@Strongbumblebee First, good for you for taking on school! Psychology papers can be daunting but they are not a waste of time as there is usually some kind of takeaway from that effort that comes in handy somewhere along the way. I still check myself against the body positioning advice from a 300 level psych course when I am interviewing people to make sure my body language does not throw them off or make them uncomfortable” X many years later “
So if I understand your collision of houseplans: main floor is pretty much as stated with position of stairs and Kitchen layout TBD. The second floor plan when turned to the 6 o’clock position from the 12 o’clock position will align the open area oven the great room, there will be a ceiling over part of the kitchen and dining room, the space over the master will house two bedrooms and a bath. The fireplace and flue end up at 45 degrees so pick one spot or the other and put a fireplace. Figure out a logical place for stairs to connect the main floor to the upper floor. This will likely mean stealing from the great room to have a bit of a hall as this main floor does not really address the vestibule function (unless it is a covered front porch) or hall with stairs. The stairs on the side of the great room appear to be basement stairs so either add a basement or revert to stair placement TBD and skip the basement. Close? Very interesting indeed!
