The entrance area is often done nowadays like you did it here, however, I don't think it's very good. Just think about what happens in winter. There is gravel, salt, and mud all over the streets and sidewalks. You end up bringing all of that into the house. And because you don't have an airlock (Windfang), it gets spread all over the house. Every time a child comes down from upstairs to eat, they have to go down the stairs, past the entrance, and bring a little bit of dirt in every time. Likewise, when going from the living room upstairs, the dirt is taken up as well.

I would rotate the staircase 180 degrees (everything is open anyway), then a closet can be placed under the stairs and you don't walk through the dirt on the way upstairs. The dressing room has already been mentioned: one door from the hallway and windows changed so that there is also space for wardrobes. Almost 16 sqm for a bathroom is too large for me, really TOO large, bigger than spacious – I would allocate about 3 to 4 sqm for the washing machine and dryer.

Hello F.K.,

In addition to the above statements about the dressing room (in my opinion not practical) and the too small wardrobe, I have the following suggestions:

- The sliding door to the pantry massively restricts the profile and usability of your kitchen cabinets in this area due to the installation effort. I would consider recessing the door into the wall - this means that the wall thickness increases, but you won't have any obstructive edges on the outside.

- The door from the garage to the utility room takes up a lot of space. Perhaps an alternative would be to use the window in the kitchen as a side entrance door and access the garage via the workshop from there. In this case, you could use this exit niche as a technical installation space and let the shower from the guest bathroom protrude as a complete niche solution directly opposite into the utility room, so that you would only need a shower door in the guest bathroom.

Regards,

Dirk

We are aware that there are quite a lot of windows. Our wish was to build a house consisting of corner windows and central windows. That is why one unfortunately ends up with such a number of windows.

The wardrobe next to the WC is actually only for visitors. We also imagined having another wardrobe built in a kind of niche on the utility room wall. Possibly even in wall color so that the wardrobe hardly stands out!

Thanks for the tip about kitchen planning!

In my opinion, the living room corner is also a bit too tight.
We might extend the right wall by 0.5m to 1m towards the dining area.
The furnishing is supposed to be so that the TV stands/hangs on the staircase wall and opposite that the sofa, and on the wall to the study/guest room possibly a sideboard etc.

(So far, this area is not yet 100% decided)

If the bedroom and bathroom are moved to the rear, then drainage via the WC is certainly easier. However, if the dressing room stays as is, there would be no way to get into the bedroom because the stairs are in the way and the dressing room would be even smaller than on the south side.

But I am really becoming aware right now that there is no space for cabinets in the dressing room due to the windows and doors :-/

P.S. Attached is a picture where you can roughly see how our visual idea of the exterior looks. (With regard to the window arrangement)

Best regards

The ventilation system should be on the wall of the pantry.
The window facing outside should be a narrow one at head height, so that there is still the possibility to place something underneath it!
As for appliances, there will probably only be a washing machine + a chest freezer in the utility room.
But I will still give it some more thought. After all, the electrical distribution also has to be accommodated somewhere!

Best regards
