City villa 170m² on 567 m² plot

If it weren't for the stairs, it would be fine. But they ruin everything so badly - they have to go. So it's best not to hesitate for long and start over right away.

Children planned? If yes... Your living room is completely visible and uncomfortable with every visit of your children, later with friends, even later with loved ones. But as my predecessors say, that is only one issue... The staircase destroys the entire floor plan of the house, the kitchen is unworthy of the floor plan of a new build.

I just don’t think the dimensions fit. A kitchen that is 3.27m wide (and even narrower due to plaster) cannot accommodate an island. The WC on the ground floor is supposed to fit a shower and a toilet side by side in 1.50m (minus plaster and tiles probably only 1.45m)? Please measure it precisely again. I think the floor plan is more suited for a couple without children; with children, a bathroom with two doors is annoying because everything always has to be locked and unlocked again, which children and even older kids will repeatedly forget. The staircase in the living room looks nice, but the problem here is that all children’s visitors have to pass by the sofa, and it’s not great when teen guests go up and down at 10 p.m. or later while you actually wanted to relax on the sofa. Own children also often go to the kitchen in the evening… always passing by the sofa, so you should consider that carefully if children are planned at all. Your windows at the dining table are planned to be 60cm wide; minus the window frame, only 40cm wide glass panes remain. With that wall thickness, you can’t even look out the window at an angle anymore because all you see is the wall.
Best regards

The staircase in the living area looks nice, but here again is the problem that all the children visiting walk past the sofa, and it's not so great when teen visitors go up and down at 10 p.m. or even later, while you actually wanted to lie comfortably on the sofa. Also, your own children usually still go to the kitchen in the evening... always past the sofa, so you should think carefully about this if you plan to have children at all.

Then at least you see the teenagers without having to turn off the Wi-Fi. I don't find that bad. We had the same consideration. Better to walk past the sofa than past the bedroom door.

What I don't understand is, you have the road to the north and waste space and get additional paths to have the entrance in the west. Are there reasons for this? Additionally, the garage in the west takes the evening sun.

I tinkered a bit with your design in PowerPoint Engineering. However, the windows would have to be completely replanned.

Ground floor:
- Garage in the northeast
- Guest room in the west
- Stairs shifted slightly to the north
- Technical room in the northeast
- "Bump" removed, the pantry had to give way for that
- Kitchen window is blocked by the garage – with generous glazing in the dining area, the kitchen should still be bright enough.
- Living room supplemented with a west window. In the open space, in front of the dining area, there could be a large lift-and-slide door (4m), then space for the TV, and then a corner window (like in the children's upper floor) facing southwest in the living area.



Upper floor:
- Stairs shifted north (see ground floor)
- Access to the parents' area via the dressing room
- Children's bathroom possible (18m2 bathroom can also nicely be divided into 12m2 + 6m2)
- (Small) open space above the entrance area possible, looks spacious.

and what if you swap [Küche] and [Wohnzimmer] now?
