Draft - all directions in new construction of single-family house

Morning thoughts:

The staircase needs to be checked by the draftsman and the fireplace does not fit properly with the chimney

Hmm, an internal guest toilet I don't find so great.

And stairs, that makes the room upstairs very narrow.

Hello kbt09

So we have now looked at your idea.

We know this variant with the staircase, it’s the same in our house. And that’s the problem, we simply want to have a straight staircase. Surely it’s also partly because we don’t want to build the same thing again. We will see about extending the room upstairs outward so that it simultaneously creates a roof for the front door and thus compensates for the loss caused by lengthening the staircase.

The utility room area simply doesn’t fit from our current experience because it is too small (currently 12 sqm) for an ironing corner, washing machine, dryer, and technology, which is why it’s so important for us to have a separate house technology room and to separate it from the utility room.

We find the small windows in the kitchen great.

So there are good ideas there, but we also have to honestly say we like our variant better and will see if we can make it work that way.

Regarding our idea: A guest WC without a window is certainly not the ideal solution, but we have done it so so so often and it is simply the "lesser" evil, as long as everything else fits.

We draw on our experiences and wishes from our construction 5 years ago. And it is certainly true that space in the utility room is not used very well, but we simply need the space in that form and it is also bright there because the entire ceiling on the ground floor has been specially lowered in order to mount spotlights in most rooms.

Are you sure that you currently have such a large stair landing? Or just a spiral staircase? Because I don’t really like those either.

So the 5sqm room labeled [Abst-Raum] is supposed to contain the building services? That’s what I have been asking about all the time.

However, I don’t think that the utility room in my plan offers much less space. It requires somewhat less walking area than in your current plan, and additionally, the space under the stair landing is also accessible.

Since I am primarily interested in kitchen planning, the kitchen as last shown would be a bit too tight and cramped for me.

What I do like very much, however, is the separation of the living area, because dining and cooking... yes, they belong together. And then in the living area comes the quiet situation. But now I’m wondering how you want to position the fireplace.

I have answered like this many times before, including in other answers about what should be included.

Whether it is that big, certainly not, but the problem generally lies with the spiral staircase.

You mean the morning consideration with the separation?

We also ask ourselves the question about the fireplace, there is no place that is really ideal, also because then the heat cannot be used in the living room.
The ideal solution would be a double door in the wall between the living room and dining area to create a large open space here or, if desired, to create a quiet oasis.

So think further....

A planner or architect unfortunately also cannot manage it the way we want...
