Barn layout suggestions/tips please

I hesitate to say this but make sure that if the worst happens,you can get a dead horse out of the box.We had to remove a wall to get access ,after a large horse was found dead,one morning.
 
Thanks DSB, partitions will be removeable if the worst happens.

AbbyLou hmmm we are high up a hill in Scotland. I will probably have an outside area I can use, but really I think inside is better. TBH we have half a plan to add another area for hay storage once we're all built (putting up a new house too) so maybe the space isn't as tight as first thought.
 
I'm not 100% sure what to do for the best about the grills. My current two horses are used to being stabled together but have done both being able to see each other, and not. They don't seem to mind which. However if I go with the configuration I have, they'd be across the corridor from each other and it would only become an issue if I introduced another horse. I'm highly likely to, but it may just be a pony.
i would grills up, if there is a problem you can block them in with cheap rubber matting or something similar
