The "playing" area is not a designated playground. In connection with the wide opening to the living area, the hallway is supposed to have an additional function (e.g., playing). Whether this main traffic route can actually be used for that purpose is a good question.
I would try to avoid it. Anyone with children knows how painful it is to step barefoot on toys.
I don’t actually see cabinets in front of doors as problematic. It really depends on the construction/effect. It creates passages that save space. But do you want to walk through a "kind of" cabinet? I can imagine it.
In the dressing room I can imagine that if necessary. In the children's hallway I would find it cramped.
In the large bathroom, the shower is behind the glass wall. In the children's bathroom somewhere on the kids’ room side. Both bathroom layouts can definitely be adjusted.
I find the combination of toilet in front of the shower a bit unusual, since it tightens the access a lot. By the way, the bathroom window is probably also difficult to open unless you have "monkey arms."
The only door missing is in the living room or am I seeing that wrong? The way the doors open from the master bath and bedroom seems rather unproblematic to me.
I find the bedroom especially problematic because someone always has to run around the door when entering. With a normal door, it might even currently touch the bed.
The separation is the fireplace. Currently planned as a tunnel fireplace. We are going to the fireplace builder for the first time next week. Nightstands are overrated.
I don’t think the idea itself is bad, since the heat is also somewhat directed into the hallway area. The question is whether it won’t get too hot in the passage, because you have to walk quite close past the fireplace. We don’t have a fireplace, so others would have to share their experience here.
Would you happen to have a link to such a more sensible solution? Or could you alternatively briefly describe what you mean by more sensible? Or conversely, what about our floor plan is not sensible, now that I have also listed solutions for many aspects?
I find the floor plan very convoluted and not fully thought through yet. A bungalow usually always has relatively long hallways to access everything, which is logical. But you have two doors in the hallway alone and thus three separate hallways. I would claim that the two doors will almost never be closed if you have children. With three interior doors in the vestibule, I don’t think this room lives up to the word vestibule anymore. So you can just leave out the doors. That makes everything very restless, cramped, and impractical, although you should have plenty of space with 160 m². Furthermore, it is somewhat difficult to evaluate the floor plan if you can’t trust the measurements (see door dimensions, kitchen dimensions), and if things are not drawn in (doors, living room furniture, bathroom equipment). For example, the table in the living room also looks quite narrow to me.
There is actually no reason for it. In the next revision, we will probably rework it. There seems to be space everywhere for it.
Especially the route to the dressing room and to the children’s rooms, which you regularly walk with a laundry basket in hand, makes it sensible to use standard doors.
