Dressing Room/Bedroom Problem - Floor Plan Discussion

In my desired floor plan from a prefabricated house provider, the master bedroom is directly next to a children's room. Therefore, my question.

There is no master bathroom included. Honestly, I don't want that either, despite the targeted 170 sqm of pure living space!

You placed the bathroom next to the master bedroom in your "rough draft." Aren't you afraid that you'll hear bathroom noises at night when your children come home from the club, etc.? The same applies when the master bedroom is next to a child's room. You hear "everything" then, don't you?

That is a good question. At the moment we have an apartment. There, the bathroom is directly next to the bedroom. When my wife showers in the morning, I hear it. But that is not a problem because we have to get up at the same time. As for the children and noise levels, I can't say anything. To avoid this problem, you would need a separate floor for the children. So that is a matter of space and ultimately of money. I think that if everything is done properly in terms of craftsmanship, it will be fine. But I will ask the construction company about this next time.

The same applies, by the way, if the parents' bedroom is next to a children's room. You do hear "everything," don't you?

We currently live in a ground-floor apartment and our toilet is next to the bedroom and I hear the flushing.

You have to differentiate between noises from the neighboring room, which you naturally hear since in a single-family house a room is rarely completely soundproof, and noises from the wastewater due to the resonance body.
In the standard of house construction, there probably won’t be any special insulation of the resonance body "wastewater shaft," you can certainly buy that as an add-on if you have the wastewater shaft next to a bedroom in the planning.
If the bedroom is next to a children's room, you can somewhat reduce the mentioned noises if you don't place the beds directly against the shared wall.

we have never been disturbed by a toilet flush or similar. So with good quality execution, that should not be a problem.

That's what I think too. But that is the layman's opinion of Yvonne

Hello everyone,

we have been busy the last few days and have been refining the floor plan with our construction company. The current version is attached. We are quite satisfied with the ground floor. We will probably have the wardrobe recess removed again and instead have the door to the living room moved a bit, so that a cupboard can be placed in the corner between the utility room and the living room door.

What do you think of the ground floor?

We definitely still need to work on the upper floor. The bedroom and the dressing room definitely need to be bigger.

Best regards,
Alex

If the fireplace is placed in that shape and the table is also positioned like that, then it is no fun to get into the sofa area.

Upstairs, I would divide the bedroom/wardrobe differently.

No, it won’t be. The draftsman probably didn’t remove that before saving. There will be a subtle stove there. And if it gets a bit bigger, it will be positioned along the wall at most, not extending so far into the room.

On the upper floor, I would divide the bedroom/walk-in closet differently.

The idea is great, thanks!

Alex
