Floor Plan City Villa - Catalog Floor Plan Inspiration

Yes, it was planned to build the staircase closed to use the storage space underneath.

Then I would draw a wall there as well in your place, so that you see what you actually get - a narrow long hallway.

We are a bit shocked right now, but thank you nonetheless for your honest feedback.

Free yourself from the square floor plan that you don’t need on your property. Everything becomes much easier. Square floor plans are great if you want to save €/sqm or if you have fallen in love with this building shape. They are only practical on very small plots for filling the building envelope. The more dark sqm of space you have inside, the more the rooms compete for the spots with light. A rectangle relieves this problem, since more exterior wall = space for light is created – and thus more usable rooms can be made. Often even with a reduction in total sqm and therefore quite cost-neutral for the builder.

Friends of ours are currently building this floor plan, maybe something for you, as it is almost identical. It is not my case but has been planned through their construction company.

Thank you for the hint. We had already thought about that. We absolutely wanted the entrance in the front in the middle and therefore didn’t find any space for the half-landing staircase, as that would cost a room on the ground floor... Maybe we are thinking too narrowly.

You can also place a half-landing staircase in the middle of the house. See Bien-Zenker Evolution 161 (of course it’s not a half-landing staircase, but it shows that there are solutions for centrally located staircases)

It does not suit my taste but it has been planned out by them with their construction company.

Bold bedroom :oops:
I always wonder where people keep their wardrobe...
Under the straight staircase looks really shabby.
Who plans a 120x80 dining table? If you make it longer, you block access to the kitchen.

Thank you for the hint. We had already thought about that as well. We definitely wanted the entrance at the front in the middle and didn’t find any space for the platform stairs, as then a room on the ground floor would be lost... Maybe we’re just thinking too narrowly.

That was just a thought starter, because we have the entrance at the front ourselves and it annoys me sometimes. If I were to build again, I would probably do it differently. With our door open, you can see from the street through the entire hallway all the way into the living room. That gets annoying sometimes when you leave the door open just to quickly take something out, load the car, or when the child chats at the door with a friend for half an hour until he finally gets dressed. During that time, everyone passing by can look through the entire house. You can observe similar scenarios with the neighbors, only they all have their doors facing the driveway and not the street.
