I’m trying my best.
That’s not much then :-(
I tell you
Sorry, but I have no confidence in the idea of a "small utility room as a passageway" and a stair niche as a washing place at all.
and you add to that
The passage from the utility room to the garage is simply brilliant. Not to forget that many things can also be stored in the garage, that’s how we have seen it anyway.
In other words again, you are building yourself a workstation in a hallway. Actually, it is the utility room where laundry is supposed to be washed, but with your outside door you have made a second hallway with storage space out of the utility room. You are creating a traffic route through the door, which you find brilliant, but because of that, washing laundry as it normally occurs is not possible. At least not in this area between garage/utility room door and hallway/utility room door.
By the way, the laundry basket should be in the bathroom. After all, that’s where you take off the laundry. I could well imagine having 2 laundry baskets there, there is enough space.
But you don’t wash laundry in the bathroom. This is a process that takes several hours. Even if you don’t stand next to it, laundry is sorted accordingly etc... I’ll spare myself repeating about laundry (it’s somehow too stupid here apparently to explain housekeeping to naive minds).
Then I say
And I have to be quite honest: I have the feeling that you don’t do any household management at all.
and you answer
We don’t have a garden yet,
But a garden is not household management.
Ok, afterwards you add
no time and desire for extensive household chores
...which surprises me, because laundry somehow has to be washed by you, food probably has to be cooked, and cleaning will happen as well – after all you have a child, and as a salaried employee (controller) I assume you have a normal family life that keeps life reasonably organized.
But I haven’t read any concrete suggestions or anything.
I don’t have to make suggestions either. We all can give you clues about what works and what doesn’t.
We don’t have a utility room in the apartment at all, not even a storage space.
Then take the advice from those who already have experience!
Maybe laundry could also dry in the study. Or in the dressing room. Or outside, or in the dryer, or...
No... ever heard of mold?
And now something on my own behalf:
To me you are someone who only cares about their own questions. If you had looked left or right in the forum, engaged with the common problems of others here, then you could also/especially YOU have taken something from it and probably would already be at the building permit stage now.
It’s quite exhausting to discuss with someone who does not address the problem they are pointed to. Advice is ignored or overlooked, if not even contradicted. That someone is you. And later you admit at some point that you have no idea about it.
That didn’t work over there in the forum, and here the answers are also decreasing.
However, the threads here are not closed - but I’m now also withdrawing from this dilemma.
