Dream house floor plan - 173m² with 3 children's rooms

I can't recall ever entering a living room through the kitchen.

One simply does not enter their living area through the kitchen...

(...) And many modern floor plans keep it that way. And why should everyone first have to go through the rest/chill/TV area to enter the kitchen? That's much more annoying. (...)

True, and then people also liked to show the neighbors the flowered underwear of the housewife hung out to dry on the line – in this case even from the balcony. In this respect, the whole thing might actually be more consistent here than often assumed; you probably just have to change your perspective.

Trends like bay windows, kitchens, sliding doors, children’s bathrooms, and much more certainly don’t originate here in the forum; those were long ago in the mind of the cleverly planning builder couple. Here, one is rather encouraged not to chase every nonsense and to seriously consider the real personal benefit. Generally, the aim here is to give the builder (here apparently a junior builder) tips that also come from lived experience; not constructively using this value but instead remaining smug is not forbidden but indicates a rather immature builder. Immaturity, ignorance, or inexperience is no problem per se, but arrogance can make it become one quicker than you might think. Simply dismissing such hints here from the outset because one believes to have found the holy grail oneself, in my opinion, can hardly be dismissed as anything other than arrogance. Calling the critics (to whom one usually gladly shows one’s project here and does not boast about it) unsympathetic and even seeing them almost as spoilsports seems like childish behavior to me, because any reasonably organized builder would seriously reconsider the repeatedly named criticism points to avoid later regrettable or even costly negligence in this significant life project of building a house. Here, however, the builder sits like a peacock with popcorn in front of a plan, by definition only an idea of a project, and lectures about insights and events that have so far been completely foreign to him. In the end, he laments this crowd here who wanted to save him from ruin unnecessarily, while it has long been decided that he will cross the finish line as the winner.

You don’t really need much (building) experience to know that here, too, the realization will probably come at some point that the Champions League trophy felt proudly held in hand and presented to the crowd was actually just a bottle of Lambrusco. Experience shows that even after 20 years it will still be stubbornly claimed that this wooden beam was deliberately built right through the window front for particularly significant, possibly even stylistic reasons; this is not an isolated case (here kitchen, balcony, etc.). I assume it is due to the arrogance of the original poster that apparently he has not even noticed that the popcorn he casually mentioned at the beginning has long since moved into a multitude of other living rooms in nicely designed and completed living spaces, and there one already hopes to finally get the next bag when the original poster issues another funny explanation for an obvious detail planning fail.
