Apart from the fact that I still think the renovation as planned is utter nonsense multiplied, the new room layout is not great either.
You have a long, dark corridor, a crappy guest toilet, a crappy kids’ bathroom, the office is more like a storage room, and personally, I don’t want my headboard against the wall where the dishwasher is on the other side, and (at least in our case) often runs at night (because you start it just before going to bed).
The window layout is also questionable and I think it will probably still be changed, right?
You don’t have enough sqm to afford a dressing room and three bathrooms. Sure, that’s nice to have, but simply not possible here. So get rid of it. One kids’ bathroom that also houses the washing machine and that guests use to go to the toilet – period.
Get rid of the extra dressing room! It costs you space, and in the current design you’ve wasted room on it but barely got any usable closet space.
Fail!
Way too complicated, too narrow in a dozen places, the corridor claustrophobic – you come in and can’t even take off a coat without bumping your arms against the walls.
Do you really want to live like this???
Here’s a quick improvement sketched out:
Coat rack on the side of the office, which eases the long, narrow, and dark corridor, add a window there too so you can at least take your coat and shoes off quietly – and that without standing in the main traffic area. Toilet, kids’ bathroom, and washing machine combined on the opposite side.
Also has the advantage that all the connections are only on one side of the apartment.
Then entrance to the master area. Divide that into bathroom and sleeping area, closets in the sleeping area. There is not enough space for a separate dressing room. Think about where you want to sleep and where the bathroom should go, there are several options. But there is no room left for a dressing room.
I rotated the pantry 90°. You can decide whether it should be accessible from the hallway or from the narrow side and thus from the kitchen. Both have pros and cons.
That untangles the mess of the last draft somewhat. But the whole thing is still total crap – sorry, there’s no other way to say it.
