City villa floor plan 160 sqm - Please provide tips!

Thanks for the recent posts.

I have drawn our furniture to scale, everything fits well, also taking plaster and baseboards into account.
Only the dressing room and wardrobe wouldn’t work like this, as already mentioned.

To make the dressing room and bathroom bigger, one could take 1 sqm from each children's room (move walls), but then the doors would shift, and you wouldn’t be able to get into Child2’s room anymore. Or am I seeing that wrong?

And whether the room next to the kitchen is called pantry or storage room, I think it doesn’t matter.

Regarding ventilation. Thanks for the hints, we will reconsider the whole thing.

Regarding the site plan. Unfortunately, access CANNOT be from the northeast (development plan). Only from the north or south.

Regarding the architect..... We want a plain, ordinary 08/15 house, no slope, no bay windows, etc. That’s why I think an architect from the general contractor should be able to manage such a floor plan

And yet you complain here. Your general contractor apparently can’t manage a normal 08/15 house... or maybe because of your plot it’s not really 08/15?

I have no problem if someone builds with a general contractor. But there are better and worse ones in terms of design. Many points have already been mentioned here why the design is not good. This includes not only the floor plan alone but also the positioning of the house and the garage on the property. (Off-topic: do you actually have to shovel snow on all sides?

A bedroom of preferably 10 sqm? I don’t know which model home parks you’ve been to, but I could just as well sleep in a matchbox there.
In my opinion, a disproportionate layout for actually generous 160 sqm.
But regardless, I am of the opinion that your criticism of the existing design will not be eliminated if you are not willing to make more significant changes... and it seems to me that you are not willing to do that and rather just smile it away or something like that.

oh dear oh dear we had already received several plans from different construction companies....garage in the east...stairs in the north...etc...everything looked even "less beautiful" and this floor plan is the only one that combines our wishes.

Imagine there are also individually designed floor plans...

Print out the floor plan 10 times and doodle on it a bit. Then you'll get some ideas of what works and what you like.

Tried several times already, but it hasn't really gotten any better either

That was also the first thing, so "shoveling snow," that I thought of with the property

Ever thought about swapping the kitchen and the living room? Then moving the stairs will work too.

Because of the positioning of the house, nothing has been written here yet, except the question whether the driveway can come from the northeast, which I denied. Or what do you mean by positioning?

In the model home park Günzburg, there were the 12sqm bedrooms... in case you are interested, and they were sufficient for us. As I said, only a bed needs to fit in.

Maybe I gave the wrong "impression," I am very open to your criticism and would of course improve the floor plan accordingly. I only express my opinion when I say: we want a small bedroom, the pantry is big enough, etc. And I can say that because, as already mentioned, everything was measured and tried out.

And how the 160sqm can be better divided... that's why I am here.


We have to shovel snow on the path in the east.

At first, our floor plan was as you suggested. Living room and kitchen swapped. But we had it changed because neither of us are big cooks; I cook something quick once a day, otherwise we are all in the living room. I also think it’s more practical that way if I iron in the living room while the kids play on the terrace, for example.
