First floor plan attempt for terraced house on a small plot

Shower on the ground floor with full depth makes more sense

I can imagine the large shower quite well, but how do you want to climb in there? The position of the toilet is just a smokescreen. Take the distances of the upstairs toilet and see how much space is left there. My plumber advised me not to go below 25 cm (distance toilet to wall) and if there is space, to aim for 35 cm.

What exactly do you mean? An (additional) door on the right kitchen side to the hallway? And then the living room door basically straight from the hallway into the living room?

I would probably even place the kitchen door right at the front by the entrance door: kitchen line remains on the north side, and opposite the kitchen’s terrace door a door. Then a two-row kitchen in the kitchen. Use the remaining width for a wardrobe cabinet or link it with the kitchen.
Then a glass door can also lead to the living room in a straight wall.
I would plan it so that a family member on the sofa (napping, sick, or reading, so seeking quiet, but not necessarily crouching upstairs in the little room during the day) is not immediately disturbed by someone coming into the house who wants to visit the kitchen or the living room active ones.
This situation is not uncommon for us, and despite all openness, the person on the sofa feels protected because you don’t immediately fall over the corner of the couch.
With regard to older children later on who want to make themselves a pizza at 10 p.m. without disturbing the parents watching TV, it’s a no-brainer.

I can imagine the large shower quite well, but how do you want to climb in there? The position of the toilet is just an eye-wash. Take the distances of the upstairs toilet and see how much space is left there. My plumbing guy advised me not to go below 25 cm (distance from toilet to wall) and if there is space, aim for 35 cm.

Thanks for the hint, I actually just measured at home: 30 cm, although 25 cm would also work, but certainly not less. That makes 25+40=65 cm, so still 65-70 cm of remaining width to pass through – I think that's still okay. The shower is not intended for daily use anyway. Otherwise, the guest toilet would have to be widened a bit, which could still be done if necessary.

Great, thanks for the explanation That sounds good, I need to put that on paper tomorrow, I'm curious how it can be set up

I was busy again there.
However, my doubts regarding the landing staircase were confirmed: far from the optimal stair size, I had to correct the steps three times to even be able to fit them into the niche. It’s not enough to just shorten the landing by 20 cm... it became steeper than our emergency stairwell at work.
Similarly, I had to make the kitchen a bit narrower because the space between the work areas turned out to be much too large.
So: I don’t see which image appears first. I have in mind that the kitchen door is exactly opposite the terrace door. However, I moved the kitchen door again to have a small working L-shape and a wall in the hallway for a spontaneous cloakroom. Otherwise, the wardrobe is opposite the stairs, which are double-turned here. There are also nice products for that; it doesn’t have to be yellowish beech.
Guest WC size adjusted... unfortunately, the doors in one version cannot be modified.

Just as I had to make the kitchen a bit narrower because the space between the work areas turned out to be way too large.

My words ... when it comes to 2-line layouts, 280 cm room width is too much.



I like it. And, for the "spontaneous cloakroom" one could simply consider accessing the storage room via the bathroom. I wouldn’t find that too dramatic.
And the door between corridor/kitchen could still be executed as a sliding door running downwards in the corridor according to the plan.
Possibly make the kitchen window so narrow that on the right and left there is space for one tall cabinet each, so roughly 70 cm of wall on both sides ... the right side already has it.
Then in the kitchen, from the top left, you could actually plan ... oven tall cabinet ... secondary storage area ... and in front of the shaft a tall cabinet shortened in depth for standard pantry items in the kitchen. In the niche below, a standalone fridge that then transitions into the sink line and on the right side along the outer wall the cooktop line ... where exhaust could possibly work well.
That would be my spontaneous kitchen plan, which is rather spacious without tall cabinets toward the bottom of the plan.
