Also, don’t get me wrong: ...
Ok, I think I understand what you mean. It’s funny, you mostly start from your own perspective, which is exactly why it’s good to register on a forum like this.
My own childhood room wasn’t particularly large (with a big apartment you tend to spend more time elsewhere playing/reading etc., and the "library" in the plan will probably serve more as a playroom, music room, or something else), my childhood bathroom (shared with my sister) had no window, in the bathtub in the parents’ bathroom I spent many happy hours splashing in the foam, later also when they retrofitted their shower with a steam bath function. The hallway at my parents’ house also has no natural light, but does have plenty of lamps.
Sure, 30 years ago things were built differently than today and looking back there is definitely room for improvement here too. I just want to suggest that as a child the expectations might not be as high as one sometimes thinks.
Compared to the "classic" single-family house, my plan obviously has the big disadvantage that due to the location of the apartment in the building and the location of the building itself, the entire east side as well as most of the north side have no windows. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about that, but hey, I look at it positively, two sides with windows are still better than one (especially with south and west) and since we’re relatively high up, quite a bit of light comes in. Having natural light in every single room including the wardrobe and hallway is simply very difficult or impossible to accomplish. Possibly in the basement with frosted glass doors and upstairs from the stairway to the roof terrace, so it won’t be that bad.
But first the stairs should be planned. They are the connecting piece of your three levels and the main traffic route.
Here I completely agree with you. I will clarify this with the architect as soon as possible and then the plan will be adjusted again. I’ll keep you posted. :)
Thanks again for all the answers so far. If you have any more ideas or want to turn the whole plan upside down, don’t let that stop you. :p
