City villa floor plan 160 sqm - Please provide tips!

Sweetheart, you are getting better and better. Lie down and rest.

Thank you very much for your contributions:

But you also get older and somehow need the side of the bed for sitting. And then more space there.
You don’t have to become senile for that
You now have the square meters of the bedroom exactly where they don’t have to be.
A bedroom of 4 x 3 is not the same as 3 x 4.
If anything, the bed would have to be turned, the window moved to the other exterior wall...

Of course the space should not be as extreme as it is with us now, wider is naturally better. Yes, I already notice, 17 sqm bedroom and it doesn’t fit anywhere.

We recently had a house of 10 x 9.5 here, and a utility room and office still had to go into the ground floor... somehow it worked out in the end. But it was weeks of work and very sweaty for the OP.

I am ready

Don’t omit the hint about the lifting station!

Not omitted, but first "overlooked" with all the drawing. Thank you very much for the hint! I definitely have to discuss that with my husband, but it really is not worth it.

Well then maybe it sounded different... I’m curious and waiting to see what comes.
In my opinion, moving the stairs could be a good start.

I discarded the external dimension 9*11m again... stairs moved --> bigger bathroom (great) --> smaller kids’ rooms (okay like that) --> but the bedroom even worse than before, bigger, but totally awkward and walk-in closet still doesn’t work.



I will now try to change the old scale, shifting the stairs is unavoidable, I have realized that and will give it a try.


Thank you very much for your effort despite illness.
We had received a similar design from another general contractor. What personally bothers me about it: the entrance door “flees” away from the garage... in rain I want to be in the house quickly. Also visually from the outside... not “my thing”... garage, window, strip window, door. I hope someone understands me.
I quite like the corner with the terrace, but I think it will be more expensive than an almost square house.
The wardrobe looks great! That way it makes sense, also the walk-in closet upstairs very nicely solved.

Regarding the empty square meters: We fill all rooms very well with our furniture, only in the hallway there would be "space".

I do not mean free spaces, but empty square meters in terms of area without living quality, size without a perceived increase in space.

The 3 m building line on the right at the sidewalk must also be respected by the garage.

See #23, the gray area would be the garage.

In our current apartment we have 56 cm to walk around the bed. That may bother some, not us at all.

Bearing six-figure financing for zero status improvement does not bother you?

Bedroom with small area means bedroom with small volume means (you don’t like controlled residential ventilation anyway) faster used-up air means less restful sleep, "gray" blood / tired / weak ... and all this just for area asceticism in a house where otherwise much area lies around uselessly :-(

What personally bothers me about it: Entrance door "flees" from the garage...when it rains I want to be quickly inside the house.

Front door and stairs could still swap places if that helps.

Also visually from the outside...not "my thing"..Garage, window, light strip, door. I hope someone understands me

Umm, no. Light strip? Where? The windows are just quickly put on here. This is a sketch without fine tuning. Visually, there is certainly more to do. You could also twist things a bit here and there with wall offsets. But whatever. The fundamental question is what you want to do with the area between the garage and the house. That will always be around 2.5 - 3.5m. Since the garage is in front of the sun, it is too little to actually let light in. Also, it’s quite ugly to then stare at the garage wall from the house. You might perhaps create a nice wooden arcade and put the entrance underneath it. Something like this: But completely without anything, I really find the alley a toad.

: Access only permitted from the north (or south). I think you overlooked that.

Lie down and rest.

Lie down? Ha, self and constantly. *sniff*
It's okay, it's already easing up. But thanks.
