    I'd recommend hiring a local qualified professional like an Architect, especially for solving all the issues involved with three couples and children in such tight quarters.

    I'd advise hiring an architect who specializes in remodeling and multi-family homes.

    Take a look at the houzz design professionals located in your metro zone. Interview and talk to referrals based on local remodels and new construction in your immediate neighborhood. Hire the team that is the most comfortable "fit" with your projects "Mission Statement" goals. Enjoy...

    At least have an 'as-built' drawing done so you can see the potentials.

    Good point @dytecture! We always start our remodel projects with a set of "as-built" plans produced by a structural engineer in close proximity to the project address. This is important because the engineer will be looking at the existing "structural" issues that may limit or at least direct the team toward the most cost effective solutions. Also, once the design is finalized we use the same engineer to produce the "structural" drawings necessary for building permits and construction.
