Any wannabe house designers or draftsmen BP members?

Are there any house designers or wannabes here on BP? I'm getting ready to start a couple more homes in my subdivision in South Texas. I have a plan I really like for one of the lots but I want to build on one of my other lots that has an extra utility easement down the side, which limits the width.

Here is what I want. I need a four bedroom, two bath, two car garage (minimum 20' wide) with entry from the front in approximately 1400 to 1600 ft.². The key is the width of the house may be no more than 46.5 feet wide. The depth of the house has no concern. I would like the kitchen, Nook, and family room with views to the rear. A covered patio would be a nice extra.

If I select your design to build, I will pay you $500. You do not need to do foundation, framing, electrical, or roof drawings. Simply a one sheet floor plan with individual dimensions will suffice.

You don't have to be a draftsman or architect and hopefully someone will enjoy this practice. It might be something you will use for yourself somewhere down the line!

Imagine the braggings rights, having designed a house for Rich Weese, tic.

Karen M.,
thanks for the insight. My design was not for Germany but with german edgy :).
Biggest problem was for me the garage and the closets, in Germany we don't have a garage in front of the house mostly on left or right side and not connected with house. I'm unfamiliar with closets, in Germany we use real cupboards for it.
So we have big differences in design but was an good experience for me.
