We want to use the office as a cloakroom until it becomes a bedroom at retirement age.
But only a double bed will fit in there, one less wardrobe.
We also want to store some things in the attic above the upper floor
You don’t feel like opening the attic hatch for every jacket, tool, or decorative item. A housewife and a handy man will easily enter the utility or storage room several times a day during an active hour. It is also not an alternative to constantly carry seasonal or sports equipment up and down one flight of stairs or to continuously pack boxes and crawl around the attic. Moreover, the roof should then be the more expensive warm roof variant, although a cold roof would be more suitable.
The shower should fit with 2.60m room height and a flat shower tray
Oh, do you have 3.20m ceiling height???? I can’t imagine that at all, because then larger rooms would be planned. This shower can only be an emergency solution; it is certainly not age-appropriate.
Do you still see the draft rather negatively?
Absolutely.
Since I have been planning it for so long, I probably already see my draft with blinders on...
Unfortunately, I don’t see much invested time, nor much knowledge and understanding of space and size.
Office too small for later, shower bathroom too narrow, shower doesn’t work, not age-appropriate at all. Where should the wardrobe go later?
The office will become a messy room if the children throw their shoes in there.
The pantry is unnecessary, no yellow sack fits in there either.
The path to the kitchen is unnecessarily long.
Storage room unnecessarily large, appendage costly and unnecessary with good planning.
Hallway is very narrow – will become a bottleneck.
Path to the terrace always through the TV/sofa area… why not have the kitchen by the terrace?
Upstairs you have to take the sloping ceilings into account: a lot of wardrobe space is lost in height.
With different wake-up times, the person resting is disturbed by the one getting up, several times by light.
No wardrobe space behind any door – thus the wardrobe in a room must always stand freely.
A washbasin belongs in the WC, because you wash your hands before touching the door handle. Therefore, the room is too small.
I think these are some starting points to reconsider.
I would let an architect or planner take care of it – someone who knows what they’re doing.
