Floor plan city villa 190 m² on slab foundation

Functionality beats aesthetics here...

The little room under the stairs is not a pantry and can barely hold as much as a 60 cm tall kitchen cabinet!

I would like to implement that, but wouldn’t the traffic route between the living room <-> dining/kitchen become too narrow then?

I don’t see any necessity to accommodate a traffic route in a back room.
I see a huge open space there, which rather makes the living room feel uncomfortable, as it is not really part of the seating area.

Shouldn’t there be at least 1.50 m passage width?

Counter question: Do your hallways have a width of 1.50 m?

the air space is supposed to - through height - neutralize the perceived narrowness in the entrance area relative to the feeling in the living room.

the air space is supposed to - through height - neutralize the perceived narrowness in the entrance area relative to the feeling in the living room. So to create an optical balance.

You will achieve exactly the opposite through height: the room looks visually narrower the higher the ceiling.

Sounds from the living room (TV, music, guests, etc.) cannot directly press toward the children’s room this way.

Then you have to completely forgo the air space, because the same effect has the air space in front.

Furthermore, the bedroom should have a garden view, which leads to the arrangement of the parent area from dressing room <-> bathroom <-> bedroom (from top of plan to planned bottom), which we consider very impractical and not very nice.

I didn’t say that you should relocate the bedroom from the corner of the house – the mental sequence from top to bottom of the plan would be bathroom, dressing room, bedroom.

Depending on how you use the room, it still provides quite a bit of storage space:

I don’t see any need to accommodate a traffic route in a rear room. I see a huge open area there and it rather makes the living room feel uncomfortable, as it’s not exactly part of the seating area.

I think we can shift a few centimeters down with the wall to the utility room. But since the TV wall already has the minimum width and must remain as it is, the hallway would also become accordingly longer...

Here for clarification from an older post the furnished living room with original dimensions:



I think you can clearly see that there isn’t much free space left.

I will fully furnish the floor plan as original over the weekend and then post it here again.

Then you have to give up completely on the open space, because the open space at the front has the same effect.

The path via the open space in the living room would be significantly shorter and thus the noise level on the ground floor correspondingly higher.

But basically you are of course right.

The conceptual sequence from top of plan to bottom would be bathroom, dressing room, bedroom.

Hm. We’ve already gone through that topic. My wife doesn’t want a dressing room as a passage room.

Depending on how you use the chamber, it provides quite a lot of storage space:

These are very nice examples of how to fit a lot into a small space. However, the second picture shows a wider room. I must admit that we have placed the wardrobe under the higher half of the stairs. There is even a thread about that here :)

But since the TV wall already has the minimum width and must therefore be preserved as is, the hallway would also be correspondingly longer...

No, not the hallway longer or the wall longer there...

I think it’s quite clear that there isn’t much free space left there.

… yes, free spaces. As already said: you have free space in the living room and you have free space between the living room and dining area. I find the living room too long and narrow because of that. And whether the arrangement, which looks good in photos or at Herb, is now the optimum for here, I question: the hallway will be long, creating an extreme cavern that, however, opens into the free space. Don’t know if that looks rather uncomfortable.

Hm. We have already gone through this topic. My wife doesn’t want a dressing room as a walk-through room.

The same applies to the bedroom, where you look at three! doors from the bed. Even if you don’t want the dressing room as a walk-through, in my opinion it can be arranged better.

I went back through the old thread that you linked in post #1. We already discussed the issue of the long hallway on the ground floor and the double hallway upstairs there, and I had shown you this with pictures and made a new suggestion. If you are still sticking to your floor plan almost a year later and have only changed minor things like the garage door and windows, you have surely thought it through very thoroughly and found it good for yourself. Therefore, I wouldn’t let myself be unsettled anymore or ask for opinions again.

But if you still want to hear mine, I’ll just post my little pictures from back then again ;) But your current floor plan will definitely make a very nice house, so don’t worry :)

The latest version from , I think, does justice to every room – even the hallway benefits from the interruption of the wardrobe.

Hey ! Thanks for your encouraging feedback and yes, your opinion is always very welcome! Like many others who present their floor plans here, our main concern is to avoid serious planning mistakes. That’s why I’ve posted the floor plan here again.

We have thought a lot about your suggestions in the past months. We adopted some of them, which led to a further improvement of the floor plan, but some of the resulting "problems" would have been aggravated or the necessary compromises would not have been worth it. After all, tastes are (fortunately) different. What works great for us is a total nightmare for someone else.

We are very grateful for the honest and frank feedback here. Yvonne also provided many good and important impulses. For example, we recently enlarged the utility room at the expense of the living room and are very thankful for the hint! Now a drying rack and a stroller actually fit in the utility room!

Overall, we feel very good about the current solution and are relieved that all rooms can be furnished well without compromises or difficulties with walking paths.

Certainly, this is not yet the absolutely final floor plan, but I think it’s very close to that.

It is also important to me/us to share the results of your feedback with you. We benefit from your ideas and suggestions. You should also see what we have made of them.

This weekend we changed a few small things again (marked in red) and drew in all furniture with original dimensions (except for the bathrooms). Here is the result:





Have a nice Sunday everyone! :)
