Floor Plan City Villa - Catalog Floor Plan Inspiration

9.33 sqm with two doors is already very tight for the utility room. Where do you want to hang laundry?

A sliding door might help here if necessary.

Break away from the square floor plan, which you don’t need on your property. Everything becomes much easier. Square floor plans are great if you want to save €/sqm or have fallen in love with this design.

Thanks for the nudge.

The kitchen is almost impossible to furnish. Not to mention that the pantry becomes really tight.

We took your tip to heart and furnished the kitchen. We had to move the pantry door for that. We are not professional kitchen planners, and the kitchen feels quite small. But overall, there are still 13 sqm available for the kitchen. Something should be realizable there...

The word “standard floor plan” was mentioned frequently. We have been looking among the “big ones” for some time but have not yet found THE floor plan that goes in the right direction. The sports room upstairs is basically nothing more than a third children's room. You just rarely find comparable floor plans with three children's rooms and an office where the orientation of the rooms also fits. Do you know any?

Friends of ours are currently building this floor plan, maybe something for you, as it is almost identical.

Somehow they are all the same. It is the little things (open or closed staircase, wardrobe, etc.) that make a passable floor plan different from a functional or well, so-so floor plan.

We had to move the door to the pantry for that.

Yes, that is just a first step among many.

But overall, 13 sqm are available for the kitchen.

Well, you have a work area of 120 x 120 cm... so a total of 1.44 sqm for working, cooking, chopping, washing, preserving, etc. Cabinets can’t just be opened easily because you’re in the way. Your husband would definitely have to squeeze past you at the sink while you are at the stove. Opening or unloading the dishwasher? That only happens when the family is in bed. About a third of your kitchen space is practically lost.

Please furnish everything.

First of all, great praise for the completed questionnaire in the initial post, and even two-colored. Unfortunately, the plot and large parts of the dimensions are missing.

"Throw everything in the bin and start from scratch" is a good idea because it is always more beneficial to do a relaunch instead of a patchwork. Especially in the last but one and last percent of correcting an "almost perfect" floor plan, an amateur planner can excellently box themselves into a dead end. Presumably, exactly from this realization, this draft already arose, because the standard models lack the room "Child 3," which here would have been needed for conversion into the sports room.

You apparently still oriented yourself on the size frame of the Anstattvilla "extended Medium Size" (10.5 m edge length), thereby creating too high a packing density of rooms/wishes ./. floor area.

A copying error from the ground floor. [...] We initially concentrated on the interior floor plan.

The copying error "from the ground floor" already starts with deriving the upper floor from the ground floor at all – consult Aunt Google for explanation in "The upper floor takes precedence." What were the guiding principles of the design approach anyway?

We already had the issue with the lighting of the staircase on the upper floor / the overhang of its start once before, I can't find the spot right now, but to my recollection somewhere in a thread by

The word "standard floor plan" was also often mentioned. We have been looking among the "big ones" for a while but have not yet found THE floor plan that goes in the right direction. The sports room upstairs is basically nothing more than a third child's room. One only finds few comparable floor plans with three children's rooms and an office, where the orientation of the rooms also fits. Does anyone come to mind?

Perhaps a floor plan suggestion would also work that, in the manner of a wheelbase extension in stretch limousines, inserts two little meters, i.e., changes a 9 x 11 m base model to 9 x 13 m... Also look at one-and-a-half-story templates (also because square models dominate the Anstattvillen – but above all, because that is the logical systematic search path when you only "need one more room" on the upper floor).

Size is not everything. Draw in furniture to scale everywhere and consider movement spaces and workflows.

You have dead space throughout your entire floor plan. In other places, you are planning bottlenecks. As others have already pointed out, place the doors where possible so that a wardrobe fits behind them. Cloakroom very small. Nothing is worse than stepping over shoes and bags. A large part of the room is walking space and not storage space. The hallway feels smaller as soon as there is a wardrobe under the stairs. On the upper floor, the parents' area accommodates as much wardrobe space as a well-designed 15 sqm bedroom without a dressing room.

You have dead space throughout your entire floor plan.

... but actually no room for it, that would need about one meter more edge length.

In another place you plan bottlenecks.

I wouldn’t put it that way. In the closed room "square floor plan," the bottleneck is the natural, automatically occurring antimatter to the dead space. You don’t really "plan" it that way, it always comes along. You basically invite the dead space "in an accompaniment of your choice" to the party in the square, and that accompaniment is then the bottleneck. But the OP has already signaled willingness to renounce the demon square ;-)
