City villa with approx. 200 sqm - without basement. Please provide feedback

I find a dedicated master area with a dressing room, bedroom, and private bathroom missing in a house of this size. We have two teenagers here, and I believe our own bathroom is the most important thing in our new house (but you can probably only understand that once you have older children yourself). I would fully glaze the small bay window in the living area, not just halfway; you can still place an armchair in front of it.

Best regards

My suggestion:

Kitchen with a large island (can of course be made even bigger so that the cooktop and sink fit in), your SbS fridge on the side. Adjacent to that a small pantry. Bathroom and stairs each on the other side. Corridor removed and thus an additional room gained:

Good idea, but I would massively lack wardrobe space here. So plan about half of the gained room as an (open) wardrobe (moving the wall between the two windows should be enough)

Inevh0, with a smaller dining area I had already considered that too! Looks good. On the utility room side, however, I would also, like Climbee, not add another room in favor of more wardrobe space. Especially since I find the utility room too awkwardly shaped and inconvenient to furnish, and the storage room is too small and awkward for all its uses (baby sleeping area, storage, office).

Edit: if you make a proper office on the ground floor where a guest couch can also fit, there would certainly be room for a children's bathroom upstairs (instead of an office/additional room). But first of all, the original poster really needs to clarify what is possible in terms of drainage. We also have a bathtub drain "through" the living room downstairs, but we have a basement where the wastewater can be conveyed with the necessary slope. Is that only possible under a floor slab...? or can someone with knowledge help me here? (it bothers me that I can't assess the utility room situation at all :-S)

Good idea, but here I would massively miss cloakroom space. So plan about half of the gained space as (open) cloakroom (moving the wall between the two windows should be enough)

Good idea
You can divide it very well and better with the layout from .
Yes, the study room (or baby bedroom) with a window can be slightly reduced and possibly juggled with cloakroom, WC built-in cupboard etc.
The design gains by omitting the hallway.
This direct door to the garage is unnecessary here, and the floor plan does not allow it either.
The kitchen is now also more ergonomic -> two-row, one of which is an island.
I would still shorten the house by one meter in the middle.
It does not gain more by the oversize.
So I would say: for many houses it would be nice to have another 50-100 cm in width or depth, but it is not feasible because of the cost.
Then there are houses where the rooms are just right: not too tight, sufficient space and surface area and a bit of an airy feeling.
Then there are a few houses that have no price limit. It often happens there that some things are planned somewhat oversized, which then makes life rather more difficult.
Of course you can build 200 sqm, but then you usually also have a focus on additional space (third children's room, guest or study room, sauna, children's bathroom, sports and spa...)
Here a large storage room is planned, which is supposed to accommodate a vacuum cleaner, mop, tools and cleaning supplies as well as a baby and desk.
Upstairs the rooms are larger than necessary, because there are 10-15 sqm too many. So you could shorten everything or create rooms that still make sense. Living and dining I find good and okay.
Kitchen too long, already mentioned above.

Aside from that:

Move the partition wall of the dressing room by one meter (smaller dressing room, bigger bedroom) and turn the bed 90 degrees -> more space for the bed and more coziness, because 1. you sleep badly between door and window. 2. The bed could eventually be changed... we also had 160, now have a new 160, but the surroundings have become wider.

Technology room could also be without a window, maybe an option?

And see if the lighting of the rooms from the west is sufficient for you. The window in the NW is only sunlit in the early evening... if you move it towards the top of the plan, rather.

The utility room offers itself to be accessible from the bathroom. Then the children's rooms can be aligned.

If you were to swap the office/storage and technical rooms, you could plan larger windows in the office. At the same time, you could straighten the wall overall, as the offset would no longer be necessary, which was primarily for lighting the storage room. Fewer corners and projections -> lower costs.

and Maria: So many beautiful suggestions. The interested reader is probably overwhelmed by the abundance. Sketches are needed...
