City villa approx. 200 sqm with extension

Hi, well, the number of windows and whether the ones on top are floor-to-ceiling or not is definitely something you can debate at length. My client wanted a similarly generously glazed living room and yes, in summer you have to provide shading, no problem with Venetian blinds. On dull days, you also have enough light in the room to not need artificial lighting during the day. At first, I also thought it was too much – but now I find it nice.
What I really can’t understand, however, is why you place the couch with its back to the window and again only look into the dark corner of the room. I would rather give up "some" window and instead have a view towards the garden.

If the (in my opinion almost exaggerated) symmetry in the design is allowed to give way a bit, I would move the bay window to the right, make it somewhat wider but less deep, and position the dining table crosswise...

Maybe you didn’t see the door from the dressing room to the bathroom? But you did draw a circle around it

we also like this open design. The topic of the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window is unfortunately something we haven't managed to solve elegantly either. At least the sofa is in front of the fixed part of the lift-and-slide element. Overall, I really like the idea of your open space.. Your corner window solutions will definitely be great once they're finished. But also think about the cost issue, corner windows are pretty expensive.. I think the middle area between the living room and kitchen and in front of the dining area is somewhat problematic because it can only express spaciousness as it is just circulation space. About 15 square meters go there. Your entrance is also generous. I believe there's still some room for optimization there. The idea of moving the office upstairs is definitely very good as an optimization. In our planning, we made sure to keep the pure circulation areas low and well integrated into the room.

Your question is obsolete since you even answer it yourself afterwards. But it says "possible" door. It is circled, in the hope that you comment on this "possibility"...!?! Depending on your answer, I would then argue further. To anticipate that, I would find it not ideal either. Rather, I support the suggestion already mentioned here: access the parents' wing via the dressing room.

Hi, well, one can certainly have a detailed debate about the number of windows and whether they are floor-to-ceiling at the top or not. My client wanted a similarly generously glazed living room and yes, in summer you have to shade it, with venetian blinds no problem. For that, even on gloomy days, there is enough light in the room so that no artificial light is needed during the day. At first, I also thought it was too much – now I find it nice. But what I really can’t understand is why you place the couch with its back to the window and look only into the dark corner of the room again. I would rather forgo "some" windows and have a view towards the garden instead.
