The primary function of this Contest is to end up with PDF Construction ready floor plans and elevations with dimensions and the corresponding dwg files for a remodeled second floor of the home. Before beginning the project, please see the required deliverables. We are looking into remodeling/reorganizing the second floor of a home. We are looking for a functional and aesthetic redesign. While practicality drives the project, we still want a clean, modern look-sleek lines, integrated lighting, and finishes that feel current without being cold. The main concept here is for a redesign of the livable area that is more efficient and functional. The ceiling heights caused by roof elevations must be taken into account as they limit some utilization of the 2D floor plan. THE REDSIGN OF THE SECOND FLOOR IS A REDESIGN WITHIN THE EXISTING SPACE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE EXISTING STAIRWAYS, EXTERIOR WALLS, WINDOWS, ETC. No exterior walls, windows or stairways may be moved. I also noted that many of the designs are removing the upstairs laundry room. We would prefer to have an upstairs laundry room of some sort somewhere upstairs. PLEASE NOTE: There is also a fireplace flue issue that MUST BE ADDRESEED in your designs. See the 2nd Floor Flue Issue Explained, 2nd Floor Architectural Showing Fireplace File and 2nd Floor Fireplace Flue Highlighted files that have been added before submitting an entry. This cannot be moved and cannot be removed as it goes from the first floor fireplace through to the roof of the home. It would be an enclosed column or pillar that has to be incorporated into the design so that it is not in the middle of a room. If it is not addressed the contest entry will be Rejected. ALL (1) AI Entries, (2) entries that do not include the floor plan and (3) entries that the floor plan is not specific to the home based on the drawings provided will be Rejected, Only job specific entries will considered. The First Step in the process is to submit a separate floor plan that is specific to the house based on the pdf and dwg files provided. Please pay particular attention to ceiling heights as a result of the roof lines. Once the floor plan has been reviewed and deemed to be consistent with the examples provided it will be "approved", then photorealistic 3d renderings can be added. Any entry submitted with just pictures will be rejected immediately. Do not submit floor plans and pictures combined as the floor plan is too small to easily review. PDF and DWG files are attached THE EXAMPLES PROVIDED AND SEVERAL HOME LINKS PROVIDED SHOULD BE REVIEWED BEFORE ANY SUBMISSIONS. Here is what I need from you: • A revised floor-plan that improves circulation throughout the second floor. Designs substantially maintaining locations near existing plumbing is required. Bathrooms should have glass showers/tub enclosures. All bathrooms should have Head knockers (cabinet above the toilet), to ceiling. • Cabinetry and shelving concepts that maximize vertical and corner storage while keeping the modern aesthetic. Each Submission should be duplicated with one with Shaker style cabinetry the other in Flat style (Examples of both are provided in the attached MBR Bath & Closet Listing and Pictures attached). Colors should be in white or light oak. See Admiralty Bend Kitchen 3.jpg attached for color example. Tall cabinetry should extend to the ceilings. • High-level material and fixture schedule (marble or quartz counter tops & backsplashes, designer hardware, tapware, mirrors, sconces, etc.) Prefer sconces cut into the mirror. An example is shown in the above mentioned vanity seat. Should have deep sinks. • Though this is primarily a 2D Floor Plan redesign, photorealistic 3D visuals and rendered elevations for each area from multiple viewpoints should be provided so we can see the proposed look and feel in the bathrooms and rooms with roof elevation restrictions.. All measurements must be in feet and inches, not in metric form. Acceptance criteria • Efficient travel paths and efficient use of the total available spaces. The Closet(s) should be at least as large as existing. • Winner should anticipate multiple final revision requirement before acceptance of final product. • FINAL PACKAGE from the Contest Winner must include: Editable CAD (dwg files, Revit can be provided in addition to dwg) Easily readable PDF files with dimensions identifying all rooms, hallways, walls, appliances, cabinets. These should be presented in a format that could be handed to a contractor for construction. The same PDF Files as above but without dimensions including floor plan, cabinetry, appliances, etc. PDF elevations with dimensions of all doors, walls, cabinetry, drawers, appliances, sinks, closets, etc. that have been modified in any way. This should represent everything a contractor would need to build-out the plan. Current floor plan PDF and dwg files will be provided. Existing home pictures can be viewed at: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6431-Stichter-Ave-Dallas-TX-75230/26755377_zpid/ Additionally, a significant number of desired Bathroom and Closet examples similar to what we are looking for are also attached from Zillow listings as well as a few pdf floorplans from examples of particular interest to provide guidance. Please note the color patterns of walls and marble/quartz countertops in the examples as these will be preferred. Also PLEASE NOTE, the examples included are for Master Bedroom baths that will be much larger than those for the second floor redesign, but the listings will provide additional bathroom ideas. Length of Contest is set at 30 days. Feedback may be immediate but at times may take 24 to 48 hours. Please do NOT send examples of your prior work. Contest winner may not be selected until 7 to 10 days after completion of the Contest allowing us time to investigate the top entries fully and possibly ask questions. Please Note that there are additional separate Contests for a Kitchen area redesign and a Master Bedroom Bath & Closet redesign.

Please take note of the ducts that are identified in the file just added, in addition to the fireplace flue.

This contest owner has many contests on Freelancer, and although there's still time to submit proposals, I believe they are no longer accepting submissions. They have already chosen a winner. If you're a freelancer, don't waste your time on this contest.

Interested in working on it and waited for updated files. But the files may be corrupted. Can you share the files?

Hi CH, thank you for the update. There are a few things I would like to clarify: 1. I am unable to open the file "6431 Stichter - OD 2.dwg" as it shows a file corruption error. Is the content of this file the same as "6431 Stichter Ave, Dallas, TX 75230 - OD.dwg"? 2. The files "6431 Stichter - pdf files.pdf" and "6431 Stichter Revised pdf files.pdf" appear to be blank or only show a few random lines when opened. Has anyone else encountered the same issues with these files?

See PDF added as 2nd Story Pictures for Ceiling Roofline issues. This will give you some context for what some of the rooms, bathrooms, windows, showers etc. roofline issues may be.

Hello Sir, Could you please take a look at Design #259 when convenient? I have prepared 5 different floor plan concepts for this project and am currently sharing the first 2 designs to better understand your direction and expectations before developing the remaining concepts. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
