City villa floor plan 185m² - Please provide feedback!

I am confused. You write that you want a kitchen island, but also 4 seats in the kitchen. In your drawing, I think only the island is visible, but with stools – no dining table. Can you describe that a bit more precisely? Do you want an island with a counter and bar stools? You cannot sit at a proper kitchen island.

The length of a table is calculated roughly like this: per person, there should be at least 60 cm. The depth of the table is commonly about 90 cm minimum. For 8 people including seated at the narrow ends, that would be at least 3x60 = 180 cm x 90 cm. To be able to push the chairs back and get up, there should be a distance of at least 80 cm around the table. These are all minimum dimensions. Therefore, I would round up and plan your dining table as 2 m x 1 m and the space requirement as 4 m x 3 m. You don't have to fill that space with the table all the time. Usually, there is an extendable table that only needs the space for special occasions.

So, if we should stick with the old version (Küche im Erker-Zimmer), then an island with a maximum of 4 seats. Then the large table in the living room. It doesn't have to be a cooking island. If we swap the kitchen with the living room, I would like a kitchen unit there, an island without seating, and a large table for 8 people. I actually drew the furniture to scale with a pencil today and couldn't fit anything in.

Why do you keep drawing furniture to scale?

We all had the aha moment more or less early on

Now I am totally desperate. My previous changes thanks to your participation: mirror the house, upper floor: corridor switched to the south, bedroom to the north. But no continuous dressing room. Possibly one that can be accessed through the bathroom. Well, the upper floor can still be improved. But the ground floor? I have the idea to place the kitchen block in the mirrored current living room on the right wall of the plan, then the island and then the table. The current kitchen will become a nice cozy lounge room. We already have a TV, but we have no time or desire to sit in front of it. The fireplace stays where it is. The hallway is still not nice and there is no plan yet. Not yet.

And made progress?

And made any progress?

The appointment with the architect is on Wednesday. Today we were at the bathroom showroom and received a nice bathroom design. We like it a lot. Today we are also going to the kitchen studio to have both versions visualized. Because, admittedly, I can't imagine 2D in 3D.
