Entertainer's Paradise - Create flow from kitchen (in) to patio (out - needs furnishings) to Bonus room (to be defined) to seating area and garden on strada (to be defined)

Currently we have 5 bedrooms. 2 up and 3 down. We live downstairs in order to be near our young children but intend to reconfigure upstairs to be a large master. We will surrender our existing bedroom downstairs to turn it into a "bonus" room. The rear of our house is on a "strada" (walking street) on Lido Isle in Newport Beach, CA. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNqNwfrVXfY. Increasingly people are utilizing the area of their property on this walking street to entertain, sit and allow kids to play. The main entrances to most homes are next to garages but there are no "front yards" so it feels like the front of homes are on an alley. We want to be able to look/move from the kitchen to the strada where we can easily "flow" to watch kids, entertain etc. So the kitchen doors (new) could be open to the patio, and the patio doors (new) could be open to the bonus room and the bonus room doors (matching doors to be ordered) can be open to the strada which will have a sitting area and garden. We could effectively have people in our kitchen having a glass of wine, as well as on the patio, in the new bonus room and in the new area to be defined on the strada .We intend to convert a bedroom into a "bonus" room where we can entertain, both outside, on the strada and in the bonus room. The exterior sitting area and bonus room (and patio) should be comfortable for both kids and adults to sit and drink a glass of wine, have some appetizers or watch TV (in the bonus room) but also for ingress/egress.

GENERAL
- Modern w clean lines
- Cohesive w other elements of house and future upgrades. Flow w other areas/elements of our home.
- Highly functional, easy access and flow
- Feel of California indoor outdoor living, eg kitchen flows to patio flows through bonus room and flows to sitting area on strada (walk street) w plants (allows us to serve refreshments and watch children from kitchen)
- Consider lighting needs/mods

STRADA AREA
- Clean INVITING flow into our home from strada
- Easy access to our walk street
- New plants should be drought tolerant.
-Entire existing garden can be removed (consider whether we retain 1-2 of the fruit trees as they make nice lemons!)
- Any concrete should match concrete (new) on existing patio on other side of bonus room.

BONUS ROOM
- Need TV in bonus room
- Need sitting area
- Functional storage
- Bonus room can be reconfigured as needed but min structural changes other than new glass doors (sliders?) to match doors on opposite side.
- Careful to avoid a feel of a "trap" w so many doors in/out of bonus room (main interior door from house, door to bathroom, sliders to patio and doors to strada).
- We have already ordered 2 new (gray) modern interior doors for the bonus room (design to be sent later)
- Currently we are assuming the slider door from bonus room will match the door to the strada for symmetry
- We are leaning to gray ceramic tile for the bonus room (w wood inlay) for durability

PATIO
- We would like to have ideas to replace all furniture on patio (we just laid concrete and would like to avoid MAJOR structural changes but we recognize this area could benefit from some attention).

Whoever wins this competition will be considered for completing remainder of house (a larger project).
