Comments on floor plan design welcome

I am also pretty sure that the drawn-in furniture is too small. For example, you have a 13 sqm living room in which a large sofa is placed. But such a sofa will not fit in there easily. Especially not with such a relatively large distance to the TV.

The sofa is 230x230 cm and corresponds to what we have today.

Thanks, that is valuable. Which 2 doors are you talking about?

from this corner where the living room, dining room, and kitchen meet. I would solve that differently... more open.

Ah, I just saw that the living room is 17 sqm.
Still, I see the pathways with the later coffee table as tight.
Here for comparison my 20 sqm living room. As you can see, everything is already relatively tight there.

Thank you for your photo. That is really 20 sqm, or 4x5 meters? Wow.

There is only one door to the living room, the other two are fixed panes to allow light to pass through. We have thought a lot about this corner and are also not 100% satisfied. The lighter part is open up to the ridge, the darker one has room height. The wall between the dining room and living room is also only room height, so you can theoretically look over it (if you were >245 cm tall). If the wall coming from the kitchen was not continuous, it would probably look strange. The corner in the hallway to the dressing room provides a wall closet for everything that needs to be stored but should be centrally accessible (vacuum cleaner, broom, etc). That would be lost if the access to the dressing room comes there. We are wavering back and forth about that.]

We want to build with Stommel Haus because, besides the planning, the concept and execution are of enormous importance. And that suits us better with Stommel Haus than with all the other manufacturers we have seen.

NO, that is precisely not the case, otherwise we wouldn’t have this bickering here. Besides, I don’t believe you have "seen" the "other manufacturers" properly; otherwise, you wouldn’t give such an evaluation about them. Stommel Haus is just another provider like many others, no more and no less. Geographical proximity, YES, that’s the only point, but even there are many alternatives of reputable, reliable, competent house builders... that’s what you are looking for anyway.

The planner from Stommel Haus supports our project and thinks it’s good.

If your Stommel Haus planner actually thinks your absurd special solution for the hallway toilet (I call it the raincoat version) is "good", then in my opinion he should better switch to the tourism industry where one intentionally builds labyrinths (sorry!). I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
What if your wife is locked inside the bedroom because you or whoever came from the other side and is currently sitting on the pot and thus locked you in the bedroom. Ok, wait or walk around the house with a raincoat. But what if your wife also urgently needs to use the toilet??? And can’t wait?????? It’s raining outside??????, so your "ESCAPE DOOR" (your own term) is useless because of rain???? Does she then sit in the closet or on the lawn???
Do you really not realize how twisted your thinking is and that you even regret removing this nonsense on the forum’s advice?

How error-prone the Stommel Haus planning can be,

SO IT IS!!!!

Do you really not see your own fatal contradiction regarding your Stommel Haus evaluation here???

It would be nice if it could be toned down to the factual again. Just telling me it’s rubbish doesn’t get me anywhere.

It is factual. Everyone wants to help you, it’s just that you are stubborn as a tank.

Only, I also don’t like the floor plans I have seen because they don’t meet our expectations at all (which are certainly diverse but basically clear).

You don’t like any floor plans except your own with the fatal bathroom solution. Everything else is nothing. Nobody else knows anything, only you and the Stommel guy whose specialty seems to be locking wives in bedrooms while other people read newspapers on the pot.
And "CLEAR" about your floor plan is only that it doesn’t work! That is the prevailing opinion of those involved here. That is exactly where the problem of your stubbornness lies (I may say this because we are probably from a similar generation).

If you look at the supposed contradictions and think about it for a minute, they dissolve.

They are not "supposed" contradictions... see raincoat or wife locked in the bedroom with a red face, they are ACTUAL contradictions.
I have thought about it for hours, others here also for a while, the result does not change. Nothing dissolves!

Same with the outside door in the bedroom. An emergency is not: the bathroom is locked (because that never happens), but: the smoke detector in the hallway goes off.

Aha: You, the boss, dictate that locking the toilet door is prohibited (there are even two doors), because you decide that the BATHROOM/TOILET must always be open for through traffic.
If the alarm goes off, in 99% of cases people just turn it off and if a real fire actually occurs once in a lifetime, they extinguish it or leave the room. I don’t build a door in the house just in case of fire, and if yes, where is the escape door from the other rooms?

then – sorry – our floor plan is already pretty good

My suggestion after this statement is: Just build as is and feel comfortable with it!
We have written several times already and hopefully you know that I take this seriously but always with a rather friendly tone as a fellow generational colleague.
Go somewhere else and start from scratch – above all, let others do it, it is clearly not your specialty, nor mine, which is why I let modern-thinking people take over.

Ghost drivers are oncoming *SCNR*

....and so many at once

Well, has said several times that in his family the bathroom simply is not locked. They happily walk through there anyway to do their business. I wouldn't do it either, but whatever, it's not a problem for him.
