Because of the bay window, there is only 2.50m of space left for the sofa. In the middle of the room, a lot of space is created, but it cannot be used as sofa space. You should check at the furniture store how much space you need for the corner sofa; in the drawings, only such mini sofas are always shown, and a whole family won't fit on those.

Best regards

Yes, the office without a window is also really bothering us, but we didn't know how else to divide the space to implement it better. The idea was to set the garage quite far back to be able to install a window in the office. But wouldn't it still be too small, especially since we also wanted to use it as a guest room.
We have already changed the window in the office in the basement to a double window, it just wasn't yet reflected in the drawing. There are maybe 2 - 3 customer visits per month.

Yes, the bay window basically only has an optical effect from the outside and doesn't really provide any added value. In the living room, we had already considered possibly closing half of the bay window with the couch. I wouldn't know how the bay window upstairs could be used better.

For the bathroom upstairs, we were also thinking about swapping the sinks with the bathtub—maybe a bit more practical, especially since we also want a laundry chute under the sink down to the basement.

The room height is 2.55 m, in the basement 2.50 m.

For the kitchen, I actually thought it was big enough, even though it is quite long and narrow, but there are actually enough cabinets that fit.

What advantage do I have if the garage is on the other side?

A cloakroom is available in the hallway at the same height as the office, hidden in this recess with floor-to-ceiling doors.

How could the stairs be better implemented to avoid losing living space?

This is how we imagined the kitchen, opposite the stove, there would still be 2 cabinets with refrigerator and oven.

Then just swap it with the bathroom? It's easy. How about affordability? Or do you not want to address that here? Best regards

Of course, the kitchen is sufficiently large in terms of square meters, but the layout of the room results in an old-fashioned arrangement like the one you show. If you place 2 tall cabinets opposite the stove, you create a nice slalom course for yourself. How far does the "mini peninsula" extend into the room towards the dining table? How long is the coat niche? 1m? It looks more like it’s sufficient for guests and 2-3 of your everyday jackets. Do you know how many jackets I use with 2 children (especially during the transitional season)? They easily fill that little corner all by themselves. Close off the bay window with the couch? So block it? Or what do you mean by that? If you mean block it, do you think that looks good? And a couch back in front of floor-to-ceiling windows also looks good?

That you can place west-facing windows and thereby bring more brightness into the living area including the office

And here:


This line of sight will never exist, and the kitchen is not nearly as large as this simulation promises you. Because you are standing here in the hallway and have a wall in front of your nose!
You can see this yourself from the white stripes in the ceiling. Those are the walls of the hallway and office
If you stand anywhere, it’s at the height of the white door on the left...

Not worth tinkering with. Best to restart.
