I can only strongly recommend that you seriously consider a guest toilet. Especially if you don't have children yet. Kids tend to need the toilet at the most impossible times when they are just being potty trained, and then it has to be NOW IMMEDIATELY and not in 5 minutes, otherwise you have to clean up. Most of the time they need the toilet when it's already occupied :-D Or they are playing in the garden at some point, wearing dirty muddy clothes, dirty shoes, and have to walk through the whole house to get to the toilet, where Dad (or Mom) is in the shower or drying off, and then the dirty kid sneaks past you to the toilet ;-). Not very pleasant when you just got out of the shower and then stand in the sand.

I also grew up in an apartment with only one bathroom. But we were lucky that Grandma also lived in the house and had a guest toilet. I don't know how many times we used it because Dad was holding a meeting and occupied the toilet. Or as a teenager, you didn't always want to be in the bathroom with Mom and Dad when someone needed to go.

By zoning, it is meant that the sleeping area is separated from the living area and not everyone has to pass by the bedroom/kids' room. Especially if you have small children, they should sleep in a quieter area, especially since they often want to leave the door open. And if, in the evening when the children are supposed to be asleep, someone keeps turning on the light in the hallway and going to the toilet – especially when you have visitors – you quickly wish you had planned differently, if you had known that ;-)

If this draft is really absolutely unusable and we "start over," I will keep your tips (guest WC/zoning) in mind!
Thank you, Manu1976

So far, the floor plan doesn't look very good (according to most opinions)
I'm curious to see how it will continue.
In the 4 pictures, I think you can see quite well that it's not all that narrow or tight... Yes... the house is not particularly big, but how are you supposed to fit more into 120m²??

It should definitely be noted that the attic is expandable, where another small bathroom, bedrooms/room, storage space, office... or something else could be possible...
(of course, the cost of the attic expansion must also be considered, so that won't happen in the first few years)

In his idea he writes: slope location (6%) gable roof as a requirement of the development plan,... I'm curious to see what will come when the rejection from the municipality arrives.

Hi,
well, there are way too many corners and edges in it for me. Everything somehow feels pretty unstructured and messy. No real clear line.......
A lot has already been mentioned here (second WC, 2 children = 2 children's ROOMS, tight spaces, poor zoning). So I would also reconsider an alternative :)
Cheers

I see it the same way as my predecessors. If you always emphasize that you "only" have 120 m2, then you should make optimal use of it. But with your current design, you are not doing that. There is a hallway where you can hardly place any cabinet, many corners that are not necessarily needed, and space is wasted on a large staircase leading to an attic that may or may not ever be converted. And all the other points that others have already mentioned. Best to go back to "square one."
