I once tried to rotate @Evolith’s version, i.e. all bedrooms + bathroom on the long side, making the rooms bigger.
That won’t fit. You can see for yourself: a bedroom entrance like a tube...
I would also completely leave out the first wall towards the kids’ rooms...
So that the postman can again get a deep look into the children’s privacy through the transparent glass entrance? At the end of the cable duct the light goes on at night, and from the street you can see everything... You should be aware that if you are already thinking about your place of relaxation, bedroom or couch, and don’t want it facing north or in the line of sight, you should protect children twice as much from such situations. What applies to you should apply twice as much to children. It is your responsibility to provide them protection. I don’t mean overprotectiveness, but simply thinking about things like privacy, also for children, not just for the two of you. The children are dependent, and you are building the house for a family, not for a couple where maybe a child might come someday.
If you want such a strict separation kids parents
The separation apparently doesn’t have to exist at all. But planning three bedrooms adequately within a roughly “15x15” layout is quite difficult if the builder doesn’t like a window to the north, doesn’t want anything in the middle, etc. The alternative would certainly be to put the kids’ rooms in the north, but then the architect would have to do that ;) Everyone has their principles somewhere here :D A small emergency exit would be to pull this or a bay window outside the 15 meters, but that doesn’t work if everything is covered and thus it doesn’t represent a bay window in the usual sense. I always liked ’s design, it’s just not like the standard that every general contractor offers. But even Evolith would now give their bedroom a bit more room to move. If I were to take it as a template, I would give the wardrobe a bit more space behind the door. In your last draft , the drawback is again that in the bedroom you run against a side wall of a wardrobe, which also doesn’t offer much space because the room is almost cut off. In the west, you waste valuable west-facing window area for the garage, while the kids actually don’t get to enjoy any sunlight at all. Furthermore, a child doesn’t get rest because it faces the street :cool: (according to your words). Where would there be room for a light well now? In the east, the property boundary eventually ends... So I’m curious what the architect will plan there. You can always be surprised :)
