Comments on floor plan design welcome

That’s good.

Of course, put your door wherever YOU want - but WHY is that unfortunate, I would honestly be very interested; really!
Therefore, I think I can’t contribute anything meaningful to you anymore. What your children criticized is still missing.

Hi,

the thing with the children was misunderstood - they criticize basically everything the parents do. They don’t really care about the house.

Why is that unfortunate? Because having the door to the corner of the dressing room takes away the possibility to install a built-in wardrobe both in the hallway and in the dressing room there. Using the space sensibly is the most important aspect.

Our life is different in this regard:
- currently our bathroom doesn’t have a lock at all.
- A big business is done in the guest toilet; the bathroom toilet is only there for quick use at night or before showering.
- no one here is bothered when someone comes into the bathroom while showering
- the door in the dressing room means in 80% of all cases: into the dressing room, then right into the bathroom, then back into the dressing room, and then into the bedroom. Admittedly, sometimes you simply get changed and only need the dressing room. Mathematically, the diagonal route through the bathroom is even shorter than around the corner through the door in the dressing room.

And: you are indeed making a valuable contribution here, because you provoke thought. Thanks for that.

That is of course pleasing, because I certainly do not want to annoy you, but want to contribute to ensuring that no blunders arise, which one may have made oneself or something similar. I cannot really understand the closet, but this need is individual. Okay, therefore also "justified." But forcing this "justification" with your walk-through bathroom and an "enclosed" bedroom, for which you yourself plan an "escape door" in the dressing room because you expect to use it eventually (otherwise it could be omitted). As an architect, I would refuse to draw it like that. It is possible, an architect who deserves the name can also implement your requirement regarding the closet differently than creating a foolhardy bathroom/bedroom solution with an escape door. I can already see you someday running around the house in your pajamas— so.... that goes differently! I like some floor plans from users and also a wooden house that was recommended to you here. Your approach will probably never please me, which it doesn't have to. I do not necessarily like the mainstream and love individuality. But the floor plan MUST work. In addition, as I am approaching an older age, I want to free myself more from the necessities of children; they shall also be free from parental constraints. Therefore, I also feel there is too much focus on that and too little on free, special living as a couple, because that is the reason you are building again.

The thing has 135sqm, you mentioned somewhere before something about planned 180. No wonder the 400er looks a bit tighter. It was just meant to show that with a bungalow you can have everything on one level without having to build 180sqm. No guest sleeping place? I see 2 children's rooms there. Small fun fact on the side: rooms called children's rooms can also be converted into offices, Weberhaus doesn't really care about that. "The room is huge", that's why I said: push the 2 kitchen rows to 120cm distance and then build a wall behind the right row. Then you have peace in the living room. And you just put the TV in another place. And yes, it is angled. Just straighten the outer walls and then you get rid of the unrest there. Swap WC and utility room, done.

THAT would be, for example, indeed a very very good basis!

THAT would actually be a very, very good basis!

It is interesting that I really don't like that at all. But tastes differ. Therefore, I try to stick to factual arguments.

As I said, I really can't empathize with that at all, so I am a poor advisor. Have fun.....

If the door in the dressing room makes you unhappy, then do it differently. Primarily, you build for yourself. It may just be that you have a bit more difficulty in case of resale (unless the buyer thinks exactly like you). But I think you are aware of that.
