Thanks for the suggestion Dr. A. The whole house will be about 190 s. m., but once the carport is subtracted, that leaves very little space on the 1st floor (maybe 50 s.m. ) to put in a living and dining area, western kitchen, a powder room (1/2 bath), and a laundry room (for washing, ironing, and hanging clothes @ GF's request). There will be a small Thai kitchen in back near the Thai kitchen and laundry room. On the left side will be mostly window walls and French doors to a future patio. The 2 car carport will be on the right. I would like to have 2 m. eaves overhang all around.
