Floor plan design experiences - criticism?

I give you a few more general hints: 1) The planning of a coffee grinder is quite advanced. As Yvonne already says: search the internet for example floor plans 2) There is no one perfect floor plan. There is always only YOURS. It doesn’t have to be mine or someone else’s. 3) Closed kitchens require planning so that you can sit and eat in there every day. Then the dining room can even be dispensed with if necessary. In our case, the table was used at Christmas. But that’s it. When friends come over, we need seats, but no dining table. You can also eat pizza on your lap. We want to celebrate together, not eat. Others see this completely differently here. 4) A bedroom should be 4x4. Not smaller. Besides the bed, there must also be a wardrobe and possibly a Vertigo in it. 5) The wardrobe can also be in the utility room. Then a few hooks in the hallway or a stand from Ikea are enough. Again: What is IMPORTANT to ME? 6) Always consider: storage space. Vacuum cleaner. Laundry, suitcases, umbrella, shoe rack, etc. must go somewhere. 7) Pay attention to a guest WC. Unless you reject guests. Pay attention to how you lay out water and wastewater. So bathrooms and such are best always nicely stacked. Now reflect once more. K.

But where is the individual planning? Here, a layman’s floor plan is being discussed, but not the individual one from the architect.
I don’t understand it ops:

I will publish the architect’s plan here immediately after receipt.

The floor plan results only from the location or orientation of the property.

For the floor plan idea, it should be of immense advantage if the builder deals with the property. For this, it is very helpful and should also be done if it is drawn to scale. I seem to remember that my pinned post contains quite a bit on this subject.

I will also publish the surveyor’s plans here immediately after receipt.

Because then you can recognize the advantages and disadvantages. If the answer here now is that nothing is yet built in a new development area, then I remind you of the misdesignation of the cardinal directions. Since these are very important for floor plan planning, that would not have happened.

Fortunately, it is not a new development area.
I probably opened the thread too early and with too few concrete details and plans. I will change that as soon as I know more and have more information.

Is it now your desired interpretation or does a two-story house with a pyramid roof have to be built?

It is our wish and the development plan allows it.

The typical houses regarding town villas almost all have your desired symmetry but have already eliminated quite a few errors.

On that point, I have a different opinion or maybe something has escaped me. Most two-story townhouses have several different windows/door-windows in shape and size on each facade side.

While I’m on the subject above: the bedroom looks about 3 meters wide to me. Truly very, very tight for the double bed "exits". If I look at the room’s proportions, it’s even less than 3 meters?

True. I hope to be able to solve that better with the architect. Apart from that, we currently also don’t have much more space in our 11.8 sqm bedroom. Your hint is good, thank you.

One more question? What and where is supposed to be played? If at the TV, then it might be too tight there?

We are a bit old-fashioned, at the table in the living room. If it were up to me, we would not need a single TV set; they are age-related anyway. I don’t think one can be married to a man without a TV set.

The windows all seem very narrow to me, is that intentional? It becomes less airy or spacious as a result, of course!

They are narrower because we want to install shutters on the house now or later. Actually, I find narrow/tall and therefore more windows/doors prettier than wide windows. We may change the window size after consultation with the architect. The number and size of the windows also depend on whether we decide for shutters (a substantial cost factor) or against them.

The toilet or the bathroom upstairs cannot be drained. Meaning: where do you put the sh**?

I haven’t thought about that so far, also because I wanted to leave that to the professionals. I have learned here that we should probably place the master bathroom above the HWT/shower bathroom on the ground floor or the kitchen on the ground floor.

We also planned without children and used this situation for ourselves – that means not only the possibility for free design but also making use of space opportunities where they are really needed and not where the typical house dictates them for a family.

Can one see your floor plan somewhere here in the forum?

This wish can certainly be solved much, much better.

I already have many suggestions that I will take into the architect meeting. Afterwards, there will be proper floor plan drawings.

Hopefully, quoting worked correctly now. I tried to do it right.

Junk room is all well and good... but where is the clutter-free wardrobe supposed to go?

Shoes in the HWT, wardrobe on the wall wardrobe in the hallway.

I’ll give you a few more general tips: 1) The planning of a coffee mill is quite advanced. As Yvonne already says: search online for example floor plans

I have to admit, we already did that. The result is what has been published here.

... 3) Closed kitchens require planning so that you can sit and eat there in everyday life. ...

A professional is handling the kitchen planning, which is why I left everything open in the floor plan. What’s really important to me is just a table/small table with a view outside.

4) A bedroom should be 4 by 4. Not smaller. Besides the bed, a wardrobe and possibly a Vertigo must fit in.

We will probably relocate the bedroom, also to get the master bathroom via the utility/shower bath or the kitchen. In our bedroom we only have a bed, pictures, plants, and a small, pretty chest of drawers. We don’t want more.

5) The wardrobe can also be in the utility room. Then a few hooks or a stand from IKEA suffice in the hallway. Also here: What is important to ME?

So far we plan shoes in the utility room, wall wardrobe in the hallway.

6) Always consider: storage space. Vacuum cleaner. Laundry, suitcases, umbrella, shoe rack, etc. need to go somewhere.

We plan storage space for suitcases, Christmas decorations, etc. in the attic/storage. Vacuum cleaner and the like in the utility/technical room, which we planned a bit larger, about 12–13 sqm.

7) Pay attention to a guest WC. Unless you reject guests. Pay attention to how you lay water and sewage. So bathrooms are best always neatly stacked. Now reflect again. K.

We have planned a shower bath next to the utility/technical room on the ground floor, intended for visitors and overnight guests. Relocating the master bathroom is already a fixed part of the discussion with the architect. Thanks for the hint

To me, this looks like a plain 08/15 family house believably dressed up for a couple. If I were to build for 2 people now, it would probably be more like a loft ala , and in 15-20 years a bungalow ala . If I’m wrong with my assumption, then something similar to . What I forgot yesterday: living room and open kitchen with large table. I’m not convinced by having 2 dining areas. Among all our DINK friends, the large dining table in the living room has been converted into a study.

A run-of-the-mill family house is fine for us; the plot, the area, we are all run-of-the-mill. We don’t appreciate lofts and for a bungalow (which we would have actually preferred) the building window is too small and the neighbors are too close. A bungalow with a cathedral ceiling would have been our first choice.

What I forgot yesterday, living room and open-plan kitchen with a large table. I am not convinced by two dining areas. Among all our DINK friends, the large dining table in the living room has been converted into a study.

It is not a normal dining table but a game table. But you are right, we often also use it as a surface for books, correspondence that needs to be done, etc. If we can design the dining area in the kitchen nicely, with a view of the greenery and the herb corner, we will probably eat there more often and not at the table in the living room. Regarding the furnishings, we initially planned with our current, proven furniture.
