      The same "cultural difference" could be valid to Mat's kitchen question. We call such (proposed) "open" kitchens "American kitchens" and not everyone is used to / fond of them here (although if you can have a separate dining room, it can indeed be handy at times).

          Ok, see English is not my main language, so this question is because of that:
          why the name change, what's the difrence between a foyer and a dwelling?

            will you not want the kitchen to lead onto the patio tho, even if you're cooking with bbq you still need access to fridge and implements no?

              And also I'm often a messy person so "living together" with my kitchen is not necessarily a good idea. And families/households here cook (probably) more often here. I mean "real" cooking with all those lots of ingredients and the mess and smells it comes with it so that may be another reason.

              That's also a valid point though. 😉

                Rachid, We are both islanders. I would label the space "dwelling", foyer. In America, at least the part that I live in, we would not trust our drivers not to hit the column in the center of the place of your cars. I noticed however, that this is not a uncommon solution in other places. Mahalo.

                  yes your right...but again 😄 that's why i'm going to build an outdoor lounge
                  maybe i don't know the name pretty good, but you know bar, grill, etc.
                  i'll see if i can get a refrence image so i can show you what i mean,
                  because i don't know how to explain it, because agai egnlish is not my first language so there are some limits 😄

                  hahahaha while doing a search on google for what i want,
                  i found out it's just called "outdoor kitchens"

                  here is the refrence of what i want to do outside

                    In America, dwelling is the building or spaces that make up the whole house. Foyer is a room (not a hall) from which you go to other spaces. I think that it is a meaningfull space, but it is not used that often where I live.

                    Sorry for my ignorance, what is your language?

                      ok now i have a better understanding of this, thanks for the info mate,
                      i'll definitly change it, because "foyer" is actually what i want anyways.

                      our main language here is "Papiamentu" but because we are part of the Netherlands, dutch is also a dominant language here

                        You might like to consider not having a door directly from the parking area into the kitchen; it's an easy route for petrol fumes and exhaust gas to get into the most smell sensitive room in the house. It looks to me that you could
                        a) swap the kitchen with the utility room and thus have easier access from kitchen to dining
                        b) block the kitchen/garage door and instead have a door from garage to outside, pretty much next to your main entrance

                          ok i see what you mean, hmmm....but it's a pretty open space (garage) so the fumes wouldn't build up right???
                          you can see in the 3th image (perspective) that the open area is exactly the same side as the door to the kitchen,
                          i think i wouldn't have any problems with fume build up....or am i wrong???

                            Ok, i just now finished the bathroom #2 from the the house
                            essentially the other bathroom is just a mirror of this one.

                            what do you guys and gals think?? 😄

                            I still have a lot more to do to the interior of this house.....hope i finish before any work comes in again 😄

                            P.S.
                            the black line inside the TUB.... i noticed that after rendering, so i fixed it, but didn't have time to re-render the image.
