Do you find the floor plan of our city villa okay?

I like the many windows, but why do you install such narrow windows everywhere (dressing room, gallery, living, dining, in the upper floor at the corners)? Leave out the built-up "supports" and use continuous window surfaces. Where statics require it, e.g., in the southeast corner of the living room, an inconspicuous, round steel support can be placed in the corner.

The dressing room basically has no usable space. Either a door is in the way or a window is in the way. You will regret the second door in the bathroom because it will probably just be annoying. The upstairs hallway is huge. I think there is still a lot of optimization potential there. Do you really want to have it so completely open downstairs?

I would realize access to the dressing room (only) through the hallway. These two doors do indeed take up space and of course also cost something (material + installation). Whether you need a "real" interior door for the dressing room is a matter of taste anyway; a decorative sliding curtain or something similar is basically sufficient.

If the doors are removed, you have space in the bedroom for a dresser (e.g., for underwear). And space in the bathroom for a bathroom cabinet (for towels, cleaning supplies, etc.).

The entrance area is nowadays often done the way you did it here, but I don't think it's very good. Just think about what happens in winter. There is a lot of gravel, salt, and mud on the streets and sidewalks. You drag all of that into the house. And since you don't have an airlock (vestibule), it all gets nicely spread throughout the whole house. Every time a child comes down from upstairs to eat, they have to go down the stairs, past the entrance, and thus bring a bit of dirt with them every time. The same happens when going up from the living room; the dirt is carried upstairs.

I would rotate the staircase by 180 degrees (everything is open anyway), then a closet can be placed under the stairs and you don’t have to walk through dirt to go upstairs.
The dressing room has already been mentioned: one door from the hallway and windows changed so that there is also space for closets.
Almost 16 sqm for a bathroom is too big, really TOO big, bigger than spacious – I would carve out 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 severely limits the profile and usability of your kitchen cabinets in this area due to installation effort. I would consider placing the door inside the wall - this means that the wall thickness increases, but you will have no 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 through the workshop from there. In this case, you could use this exit niche as a technical installation spot and have the shower from the guest bathroom extend as a complete niche solution directly opposite into the utility room, so that you would only need a shower door in the guest bathroom.
