&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Some nice outdoor spaces - under the &#039;loggia&#039; off the den, and the courtyard off the dining room. Community is at the head of 2 converging highways - walkscore was 3/100 - go figure! Oh, and I hate that master bath layout.

&lt;b&gt;Project Name:&lt;/b&gt; Manzanita @ Portola Springs-- Plan 1

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Parlour and den are silly spaces. Maybe if the parlour was separated better from the entry it could become a very nice study / studio - having lots of light, a view of the outdoor space, and lots of room to work (although it is a bit far from the powder room...) I like the courtyard(ish) space that brings light in, but these spaces feel much too separate, much too individual for me.

&lt;b&gt;Project Name:&lt;/b&gt; Verdanas @ Columbus -- Residence 3

&lt;b&gt;Size:&lt;/b&gt; 2394 sq ft

&lt;b&gt;Project Address:&lt;/b&gt; 33.715547,-117.820044

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore 48/100, but I gave the point due to the proximity to the Irvine business complex and Tustin metrolink &lt;1.1 mi., also, the area is redeveloping on a former marine corps site (a lot of development nearby, but not adjacent due to military site size).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore: 46/100 -- long, hilly circuit to get to destinations nearby (this is a flaw in the programming that walkscore is apparently working on using google&#039;s walking directions function since the current programming doesn&#039;t account for circuitous routes in determining distance - it imagines you&#039;re a crow).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore 80/100!
long circulation route with stair pushed off to one side of the plan (especially on floor 2). Outdoor living poorly connected to interior spaces, even though probably a good size. Tech is on a stair landing - not a nice space to be trying to get work done. Really nice kitchen and dining space relationship! Living room is good too. Not a single sideyard space (primary or otherwise)!

&lt;b&gt;Project Name:&lt;/b&gt; Sycamore Stream, 

&lt;b&gt;Size:&lt;/b&gt; 1961 sq. ft.

&lt;b&gt;Project Address:&lt;/b&gt; 189 Admiral Way, Costa Mesa, CA

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore: 45 / 100
Study needs doors to give privacy from entry. Long circulation routes, especially on second floor due to stair placement. Good individual spaces, missed out on circulation, orientation and location.

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore is 71/100.
Successfully minimizes the number of primary rooms with sideyard windows (there are none), overall proportions are pretty good but the wall in the kitchen, which I guess is placed to give more definition to the entry space and to hide the view into the kitchen from the entry, makes the circulation route to get into the kitchen such that it undermines the dining area. If you pushed the table over toward the living/family room there wouldn&#039;t be enough room left over to arrange a sofa (notwithstanding that corner fireplace!) The inswinging door to the yard further hampers the dining area. I don&#039;t think that the desk in the kitchen or the tech center on the second floor near the laundry are nearly good enough to be used for study. I gave the orientation point for a mostly N facing set of primary spaces (except that one bedroom that faces south), and no primary space faces west (hot sun).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Cannot help but look out to that planned community I recall from ages ago- Irvine. Looks like they are full steam ahead on building on the newer sections of the village.
@
*Few of us have posted plans from here, maybe there is a delay tonight, but I wanted to get some out in case.*
@
Property- 
Cannot find site plan or orientation.
GOOD.  This plan has a dedicated office.  Nice front entry with a closet and space to move.  The kitchen has a nice triangle NOT interrupted with an island or peninsula.. and this island can hold at least 4 stools!  Notice the window is WIDER than the sink - trying to let more light into the space.  
BAD- the hallway upstairs is long.  the master bath is obnoxious in size. meanwhile the master walk in closet looks to TOO tight.  Bedrooms are too large (we could fit another bedroom up there).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; There was no top floor with this plan but I decided to do it anyway because I hate the fact that I hang up my coat in the the bathroom.  Why would you position a bathroom where everyone will think it is a closet.  I like the idea of a bathroom near a door which opens onto a backyard but not at the front door.

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore 46 /100 - Although it&#039;s close to a Von&#039;s grocery store, it is cut off from Yucaipa City (?) Center by a gulley. Even still, you&#039;d most likely drive to Von&#039;s since this is a golf-oriented, luxury development where all can afford to drive and do. I don&#039;t understand why the upper floor has to have the chamfer - probably designed to save space, but it in fact creates wasted space. Master bath has bad counters, too much floor area. Family room clearly designed for multiple lazyboys and a sectional - and maybe a rocking chair. Living room would be a room for show, as you&#039;d never be in there to mess it up. Den is odd placed right at the front door with those french doors to it. Laundry is ruined by rear entry from large garage.

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; 12 walk score; orientation unknown; I am assuming there is a backyard; light in rooms depends on where the actual house would be built; one of the bedrooms could be a study... I think I was too nice with this one, but I can&#039;t find anything that really bothers me enough to give it a zero! Ir actually reminds me a bit of the house on the video this morning, but without the weird angled fireplace.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Comment:</b> 12 walk score; orientation unknown; I am assuming there is a backyard; light in rooms depends on where the actual house would be built; one of the bedrooms could be a study&#8230; I think I was too nice with this one, but I can&#8217;t find anything that really bothers me enough to give it a zero! Ir actually reminds me a bit of the house on the video this morning, but without the weird angled fireplace.</p>

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Takes a bit to scroll through the site, sorry.
walkscore was 58 /100.
I selected a plan that was well-oriented (E facing rear yard).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; 15 walk score; orientation unknown; I am assuming there is a backyard for outdoor living; not much counter space in kitchen; not too bad otherwise!

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; Walkscore: 32/100
Buried dining room, beds 2-4 have crummy locations, chamfer on bed 4? Unless you like your mailman, no privacy for bed 4 window. Overall proportion is too square. Front entry is decent but is a strange shape, and back entry is too small because of laundry. Perhaps the bench or closet or whatever inside, past the laundry could suffice, but does this mean you walk with your boots on through the laundry room? Rotated kitchen island is laughable. Optional cabinets are too (how big is YOUR kitchen???) Gave study point because there is none, unless you don&#039;t need 5 bedrooms, then you could pick one to be the study - I&#039;d choose bed 4 because of the window location.

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; The Master Suite is oh so Baroque. Kitchen looks good. Useless living room at the front in the bay window that faces West (just try reading in there without the a/c on in the afternoon/evening). Nook blocks the only access to the outdoor space. &#039;Covered patio&#039; is basically a sunshade with standing room. Wasted space in bed 2, oversized master with wasted space. You would need a giant sized tv and stand to fit into the niche made between the window and the fireplace to get the point (I assumed that having a house of this kind today means just that). Light would be pretty good into the house, especially since major spaces face east. Dining room is in a weird spot by the stair storage and has only a sideyard view (I guess so that your neighbors can see how many friends you have over for dinner - and are salivating over the lobster you&#039;re eating).

&lt;b&gt;Comment:&lt;/b&gt; - Walk Score of 2!

- no information on orientation or lot

- numerous corridors/hallways because of internal courtyard

- corner fireplace in family room makes for a challenging furniture layout

- multiple points of access to the exterior, including front porch from bedroom 3, interior courtyard, access from the breakfast nook and and master bedroom

- dining room is a good size, however if the optional french doors are installed, the space actually becomes a large circulation space and funiture placement becomes a huge challenge

- awkward powder room (toilet verus sink placement)

- jack and jill watercloset is tight for space

-
