Short answer
Luma fits three bedrooms and two bathrooms into a 46 × 50 ft planning envelope. Tamar gives three bedrooms more space and adds a guest powder room in a 50 × 54 ft envelope. Both include a two-car garage in the footprint.
What the extra 400 square feet buys you
Luma’s main home is approximately 1,860 sq ft (173 m²). The kitchen opens to a garden-facing living room, two bedrooms share a hall bath, and the primary suite has its own bathroom. For a household that spends most of the day together, the shared space and short routes may matter more than an extra bathroom.
Tamar’s main home is approximately 2,260 sq ft (210 m²). Guests can use its separate powder room while the family bathrooms stay private. Each concept sets aside another 440 sq ft for its garage.
Walk through an ordinary morning
On each furnished plan, trace three trips with your finger. Carry groceries from the car to the kitchen. Walk from the secondary bedrooms to the bathroom. Give a dinner guest directions from the table to the nearest toilet. Mark the places where two people need to pass, a door swings across your route, or a visitor enters the family’s private space.
Take one choice back to your lot
Measure the outdoor space you want to keep. Tamar uses four extra feet in both width and depth. Ask your designer to place both conceptual footprints on the same surveyed parcel with the driveway and garden drawn in. That side-by-side view can make the decision easier than comparing room totals.
