Floor plan design for a duplex, small plot, Bauhaus style

Nice design. I like the roof terrace by the bedroom. It is a blessing when the children have become teenagers. On a small plot, everyone has space to be outside without getting in each other's way. The air space on the front door side is no problem in terms of noise from bottom to top, since the windbreak has a door. )Der Lärm geht eben durchs offene Treppenhaus) Whether you want to hear exactly everything that is going on at the front door is a matter of taste. Does the front receive a full-height window band analogous to the air space? That could be an absolute highlight in combination with a hanging sculpture. Of course, the air space is ultimately an expensive luxury without benefit. Definitely close the garden-side air space and enlarge the room on the first floor. I would rather design the kitchen island as a peninsula.

I summarize: 1) we are talking about a completely different object and also project than in 2019. 2) I have at least overlooked a. whether you want to refer to House L or House R and b. where the profile of the co-builders/buyers/tenants (?) of the other half would be located. 3) House L is 80 cm higher than House R. 4) otherwise both houses are substantially, but not completely mirrored identical in construction. Many "modules" of the floor plans are the same in both houses. Running like a common thread is planning in plenty of botched work pockets. 5) Variant 1 only has the height offset, in Variant 2 the halves are also shifted against each other in depth (three eighths of a meter). 6) in Variant 2, House L also recesses behind the carport, which it does not in Variant 1. 7) in Variant 1 the two halves have equally sized children's rooms, in Variant 2 those of House L are significantly larger. 8) the roof terrace of House L is only much larger in Variant 1 and in Variant 2 very much larger.

Without further explanations, it is still not quite clear in many respects. Overall, the design (not only because of the air spaces) appears very far-reaching as if it plopped out of a time machine; I have seen similar things en masse forty years ago. Both design variants raise the question of what special treatment regarding access routes is being anticipated here: the parking situation only really works well under the (doubtfully approved) conditions of almost entirely boundary-adjacent driving possibilities as well as access in the curve. Against the background of the general trend to approve 1 x 2.50 m per house (and access drives in curves regularly not at all), I mark both with big question marks.

why HA on the ground floor when there is a basement?

There are only 2 rooms in the basement…

Where is the space for clothes in the sleeping area = parents?

True! There is nothing :eek:

There are only 2 rooms in the basement… True! There is nothing :eek:

The neighbors R thought of this and shortened the roof terrace for a dressing room. On the wall on the right side of the plan in the bedroom, there is space for a 60cm deep wardrobe.

.. yes, 2 basement rooms and I wouldn’t want to clutter the entrance area on the ground floor with building services etc., but rather plan a proper wardrobe there ... or, if you already make recesses in the house, like at the parking space, maybe plan a bike room accessible from the outside or something similar. Although of course that would be completely inaccessible with parking space 3.

... maybe a little cupboard, but not very big and there is still the chimney shaft there.

Currently only on the smartphone, so just the quick question why air spaces are planned with limited space? Apparently, the appearance is more important than the benefit. Absurd.

The action in the guest WC will be heard by everyone at the dining table. Swap with storage room.

Yes, that is correct. The air space was naturally more of an aesthetic wish than a real benefit. A large gallery was simply not possible due to space.
However, we can possibly do without it.

Regarding the swap of guest WC with storage room, that was also our first thought; I will pass it on at the next appointment...
