Architectural design - planning crisis!

But that's too late for a floor plan discussion :rolleyes:

I certainly hope not!
We have been busy repainting and have also found a new architect who could submit the plans soon. He didn’t particularly criticize our floor plan, although I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad sign. However, he has been extremely helpful with everything outside the house: changing the dormer, enlarging the garage, a separate building application for terrain leveling, possibly purchasing a small strip of land from the city, etc.
The energy consultant has already inspected the house and completed his assessment. Therefore, we could now slowly start gutting and the attic is already "clean."
The floor plans now include all the rooms we wanted. The limitations arise from wanting to keep as many load-bearing walls as possible.
We already quite like the ground floor!
The second bedroom with the bathroom on the upper floor is not fully thought through yet. Since this is one of the few drywall partitions, it’s not relevant for the building application. However, ideas on how to make something special out of this large room would be very welcome.
In the basement (half cellar, half living space due to the slope), this huge hallway bothers us. As it has now turned out, we will likely be able to tear down this chimney as well. A good start but still not really the "breakthrough."
I wish everyone a good start to the day!
Best regards

If that isn't a successful radical diet.

I sure hope not!

A one month break from posting is personally too late for me to even know what this is about.

Well, as a trained photographer, I quickly stopped criticizing people’s holiday pictures – they like them, but technically they’re a disaster. When I start with the golden ratio and a crooked horizon, they look at me the same way.

It's quite nice, but I find it a bit cumbersome to get into the bedroom through the window in the evening. A door to the second bedroom is much more practical :D

That is really quite a stripped-down version of the original plan. Are the local conditions so poor that the extension is completely omitted? Shouldn't we consider Bardamu's option under #45 after all?

Where do you see a window? *LOL*

We have been busy repainting and have also found a new architect who could soon submit the plans. He didn’t particularly criticize our floor plan, although I’m not sure whether that’s a good or bad sign. So far, he has been extremely helpful with everything happening outside the house: changing the dormer, enlarging the garage, separate building application for terrain modeling, possibly purchasing a small strip of land from the city, etc.

In my opinion, a new architect should first check whether phases 1 and 2 were done properly by the predecessor before building on that. Fundamentally, I prefer a redesign over a patch, and I can strongly warn against a patchpatchpatch!
