Rule of thumbRecommended
Primary suite is contiguous
LAY-PRIMARY-SUITE-CONTIG-01Description
The primary bedroom must be directly door-connected to BOTH a primary_closet AND a bathroom. The bath and closet are accessed from inside the suite — not via the hallway.
Why this exists
Master bedroom + master bath + master closet form a single contiguous footprint, not three separate rooms scattered across a floor.
