We would like two “his & hers” master suites. These rooms should have enough space so as to not feel tight or constricted but they do not need to be excessively or extravagantly large. These rooms are a priority for us and we will sacrifice other elements or requirements in order to get these rooms right.

We would like the two rooms to share a large ensuite but each with a separate WIR. However, we would also consider a shared WIR, individual ensuites or even two ensuites and two WIRs but we are mindful of the additional expense of duplicating bathrooms.

If possible, for privacy and noise considerations, the master suites should not adjoin the secondary bedrooms.
