Coop Design Suggestions? (pics included)

[Fantasma]

My roommate and I are currently working on a Victorian-styled coop and attached run (see below for screenshots of our plans). Most of the framing is done, but I wanted to get some input on ventilation and "extra" features we should consider adding before we get too far ahead of ourselves.

The Details
The combined coop/run is 10' long by 6' wide and it's crazy tall in order to accommodate the Victorian screen door we found on clearance as well as our taller relatives/friends. The entire structure sits on top of partially buried cinder blocks with a 1/2" hardware cloth skirt extending 2-3" feet outward.

There will be four exterior mounted nesting boxes as well as two windows (one on the side facing the house, the other on the reverse.) The two walls with the windows will open to help with cleaning. We're using "galvalume" roofing panels over the coop, run, and nesting boxes. Half inch hardware cloth will be used around the run, in the screen door, and behind both windows and any ventilation.

At this time, we've planned to put six 3" holes at the peaks over the coop area for ventilation and the windows will be hinged to open.

Questions
1. Do you think this will be sufficient ventilation? We live in Austin, Texas, and have already had several 100 degree days. During the winter, we rarely get below freezing for more than a few days at a time. The coop is positioned in a mostly shady location, but will get afternoon sun.

2. Does anyone have any suggestions for changes or added features we should consider? Eventually there will be a ton of additional Victorian flourishes added for style. I'm more interested in functionality updates/changes.

That's a very nice cadd model.
3x6 coop will only hold 3-4 birds, so you only need one nest.
You could use the other 'nest' area to store feed.

Sounds like run will be totally predator proof so you could eliminate the run side coop wall all together for better ventilation.
