Feedback on single-family house floor plan 200 m² city villa with hipped roof

Why do you see them as necessarily shifting?

It is the reason for the shape of the hallway and its “turns.”

Ultimately, as ypg already wrote before, it’s a matter of taste. But of course, it still concerns me.

I certainly didn’t write that.
It is true (I also have a house that not everyone likes and has many things that not every house has), but there are some rules that must be observed in every house (for example, you need a toilet).
And then there are fixed things and things that grow with the house as well as things that are handled more individually.
Here a) is the entrance, which cannot accommodate guests. Especially now, when we have had visitors more often again, you have to say that you greet and say goodbye at the door; one stays standing and waits for the other. The family stays inside, others want to go out, kisses, hugs, the next has forgotten something, has to go back in... that doesn’t work here!
b) The garage access, which I have already given its own thread. It consumes square meters but also ensures that much is built-in.
You don’t get wet every day! It doesn’t rain every day when you arrive on the property. You also don’t have to lie or shift the truths – most of it is ridiculous.
I just checked c) too: I have to go around four corners if I were to come home. If the baby is still carried in the carrycot, the walls suffer.
I don’t consider it livable or cozy... and I can still think in 3D.

Everyone wants to take 2-3 steps inside from the front door first, put down handbag and shopping bag, take off shoes and coat, then carry the shopping into the kitchen and enjoy the home.
Here I turn away d) from the cozy home because I go from the entrance towards the garage. That itself is not worth mentioning if it wasn’t a corridor that is bent twice, so that e) you don’t know what lurks around the corner... that’s how it is. Humans are like that. It makes every person uncomfortable to walk down a corridor that is not visible all the way through.
If a family of four enters from outside and wants to go to the wardrobe, there is jostling.

When guests are visiting, they go into a utility area of the house to use the toilet.
Yes, matter of taste...
The overnight guest also has to pass the front door...
Impractical.
So, now you can see yourself in one of the many negative characteristics of your/his/her hallway.

It may be that fundamentally this and that is a matter of taste. Many don’t like a staircase in the dining area. I do. But I also have to live with the limitations. It’s okay without children.
But much is not a matter of taste, but functional or not.

Many builders have to fall back on a standard that is acceptable but improvable due to cost, requirements from the general contractor, or lack of creativity.
Here you can let yourself go to make everything practical, so go ahead.

P.s. Kaho is right about seeing through it. We also have it that way – it resulted from our 140 sqm, but if I had 20 sqm more, then it wouldn’t be the case that the incoming energy (CHI) flows immediately right out of the house again at the back.
The rule is to look along the sightline at something that makes you curious about the room (i.e., inviting), without giving anything away about the inhabitants.

Maybe you could turn the staircase. The fireplace itself can definitely go underneath.
Something like this (sketch! staircase no landing - program error):


However, I can't separate the dressing room from the bedroom with an internal staircase. But at least it is separated from the children's room, and it has a window + luxury size.


If you could do without natural light in the hallway, a small utility room for the washing machine could also fit.

Something like that

No. Normally I find your suggestions good and this draft may also represent objective improvements, but it also irons out some "originality" from the original draft. I don't see the space here as so scarce that I would advocate for a more economical staircase layout. Unfortunately, you have retained the study recess, which I would have wished away from the roofscape.

And as always, ceterum censeo: die Pootz zwescher demm Huus unn dä Jaraasch Bruch mer nit, die kann fott.

Nope. Normally I do like your suggestions...

You are good. You can tell that you have little customer interaction. You don't make suggestions for the audience, but for the one who pays. Accordingly, external dimensions were adopted 1:1.

You are good.

Yes, but already sufficiently conceited

You can tell that you have little customer interaction.

Good joke.

You don't make proposals for the audience, but for the one who pays.

When did the OP say: "Make my design more economical, take as your reward that you are allowed to strip him of originality"?

Accordingly, external dimensions taken 1:1.

Exactly what I mean: I primarily recognize his design here by the outline at all :-(

When did the OP say: "make my design more economical, as payment you may eradicate originality from it"?

Thies, what are you babbling about? I don't want to make the design more economical. It's solely about enlarging the entrance area, as this was a main point of criticism from many. To that end, I said he should try rotating the stairs, maybe that would make it easier, and I made a sketch (specifically mentioned) so he would know what I meant. If he prefers angled edges or stairs, that is secondary for now.

And he says he would appreciate suggestions twice right away:

...I would really appreciate your opinion on the current status and one or two suggestions....

...I gladly welcome constructive points/suggestions or ideas that I might not notice due to my "planning blindness" and also feedback on the points I don't like..

No one is forcing him to do it that way.

You’re off to a good start this year with you.
By the way, Happy New Year!
