Final stage floor plan: Is there still potential here?

According to the current DIN277 (2016?), sloping ceilings are not taken into account when calculating the square meterage of the room area

....

But you do know what that means?
It means that everything below 2.50 does not count. That makes the children's room even smaller, at least according to the official values.
Of course, you have floor space, but you can a) hardly furnish anything b) not even just stand there. Making beds for a toddler doesn’t work either... putting them to bed when you keep bumping your head, etc. You can only use 6 or 8 sqm to stand upright. Our bathroom is bigger, your bathroom too.

My parents told me the following a few weeks ago:
They had planned a 25m² children’s room for me on the upper floor during construction. When I was old enough to move into my own room, I moved in and wanted to move out again after not even 4 weeks because the room was too big for me. (I can’t remember that)
Later, at about 14, I moved into the basement with two southeast-facing windows – best room for me because I could be as loud as I wanted and my parents slept upstairs.

It was the same for me: out of 24 sqm and into the storage room, by the way even smaller than your children’s rooms. But that was a phase. Later I made myself comfortable again in my living room.

Pick up the topic of bedroom/basement again: it has to be good for something.
As a second escape route, a practical slope and/or bands of windows that are accessible so that you can also ventilate there and get out if necessary.
With the slope, the basement should somehow be able to be opened on one side, right?

Ahrgs... so you really gave me a thorough talking-to. I will discuss it again with my girlfriend tonight. The upper floor will obviously be much cooler if you only have to distribute 4 rooms (bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, child1). In the basement room under the living room, two double windows with exposed window bands are supposed to be installed. This is actually planned as my hobby room / or later partly as a sauna or whatever. It could be converted into a living space if needed. Because the bathroom on the upper floor can then be significantly larger, the sauna fits here now. Two birds with one stone. I’m already quite enthusiastic about the idea of having only one children’s room upstairs. Regarding the DIN standard – I don’t know about this 2.50m restriction. But it would be very strange, since many buildings that only have a ceiling height of 2.35m or 2.40m would officially have 0m² of living space?

I would plan both children’s rooms downstairs and possibly a small office upstairs. It can be used as a children’s room or at least as a child’s bedroom in the first years. But eventually, the kids can move downstairs (with their own bathroom) and will think that’s cool. Or vice versa: parents’ area in the basement, kids upstairs, and an intermediate solution for the children when they are small. One child upstairs, one child downstairs, that’s a recipe for conflict. At first, they all want to be upstairs with mom and dad, and during puberty it will be exactly the other way around...

If you want to make such large dormers on roof 2, wouldn't it be sensible to rotate the house so that they face the sun? Or does the house have to face the street with the eaves side?

Good morning everyone
My girlfriend reacted extremely skeptically yesterday when I suggested to her to have only one room upstairs instead of 2. An extra bathroom in the basement was also not well received, and the sauna on the upper floor neither ^^
If the kids are far enough apart in age, there won’t be any fights if one lives upstairs and the other downstairs.

The ridge direction is specified in the development plan. And if I were one of the neighbors, I would never agree to rotating it either. Because the people living downhill from us would never get sunlight in their garden again.

The conversation tactic looks like this: to let her believe that these are her ideas [emoji6]

No, seriously: did you also present the problems?
We didn’t just make suggestions out of thin air, but they arose from your issues. These are approaches to solutions because the existing situation is not good, rather inadequate.

I always find it funny when I read here about the beloved, my girlfriend/wife, the government, who insists on her ideas without apparently considering whether they make sense or are affordable for the house
