Final floor plan planning - Rose-colored glasses

My parents had the same experience. They put money in, fought for every screw, every stone. Then ended up building new anyway.

For us, it also became a new build with a large granny flat in the attic; it was also offered by the parents as an option. An extension/conversion of a small semi-detached house from the 60s would have been somehow possible, but the various examples implemented in the neighborhood fortunately prevented us from doing so. For mother, it was immediately great to move into a modern, open apartment; for father, it was significantly more difficult, even though he offered it that way. With him too, every bush, every piece of wood was discussed, which was basically really sad for all of us because through his war and displacement experiences he had already once lost his "home," even if we only moved 15 minutes away. From this, it is probably always a very individual decision, but both sides must be able to say no; otherwise, there is a risk of unpleasant times.

Hello, it's me again...

I have changed the floor plan a bit because the staircase now comes on the north side (NE). I have actually planned everything according to our preferences. For us, it is pretty much perfect – but maybe we have forgotten or not considered something. I would be very interested in your opinions on this.

I forgot to draw the front door and the pantry door. Please forgive me.

Thanks in advance for your time!

ps.: if a note comes up – yes, I have also posted the floor plan in another forum

1. Look better 2. Look - Where do the children shower - Parents' bathroom as a walk-through room - Climb over the toilet into the narrow shower? Measure that exactly - The office uh the closet creates claustrophobia Cooking living dining has won. Although your in-laws' apartment is still heavily darkened by your setup

Thank you for your answer. The children have their own bathroom opposite the rooms. It is important to me that the bedroom is the last room. Therefore, I thought of partitioning the bathroom with a screen (tree trunks or slats) to create a bit of a separation – those would be the brown dots on the plan. hmm. You might be right about the toilet. I somehow tried to place the toilet so that it is not directly visible from the bathtub. I will reconsider how to make this better. We have decided that we no longer need a large office. It should only serve for smaller office tasks within the household. I think one can manage with that.

Maybe the toilet can also be made smaller to create more space in the office. When drawing, I had no idea how big a guest WC with toilet, urinal, and washbasin needs to be.

Just get rid of the third bathroom. You don't have that much space.

Use the planner from Villeroy Boch. At least it has realistic dimensions. Use your current bathroom as a reference for spacing.
Place the washing machine in the 3rd bathroom and make the 2nd bathroom just a bathroom, not a combo room.

Better to look at the toilet than to climb over it.
