Thanks once again for the hints.
As I said, we had planned a separate utility room. However, it was not practical for us to include it in the current floor plan. We currently live in a Vienna old building apartment, with the washing machine in the kitchen and drying laundry in the 12m² bedroom. Therefore, having the dressing room was an acceptable compromise for us.
...!
No, that is not a compromise, because you cannot compare old buildings and new buildings according to the Energy Saving Ordinance as well as drying laundry on a rack and a dryer. In the dryer, it gets intense; water is extracted from the fabric in a very short time. This affects the indoor air.
It would be like taking a hot shower for 10 minutes in the guest room just because the guest shower fits well there.
It will be humid in your dressing room. Not to mention the noise and lint from the machines.
Alternative: do it like the Americans and provide a niche for the two machines, e.g., in the hallway with doors and exhaust before it.
I don't see any controlled residential ventilation with you: in a year, you will have mold due to your compromise, and the clothes will be ruined.
A dryer in a living space is also a no-go.
Otherwise, very original, the house. It is a pity that the south side is blocked for you in the house. Did you ever try to include the west side in the living area, e.g., move the stairs on the ground floor further to the middle and the roof terrace with the bedrooms facing west?
Or/and upstairs a living room as a gallery and the children's room on the ground floor next to kitchen and dining area?
Yes, I think I would have an open-plan kitchen-living area on the ground floor, (freezer), shower-WC on the ground floor, while upstairs centrally for all the living rooms, then utility room, guest/office and parents' area.
On the ground floor also stairs in the middle, pantry below it, child’s room on the west, and shift the upper floor so the terrace appears in the west.
The stair location would be the same, only you go upstairs to the right side into the living room, from there the roof terrace is accessible. The rest falls into place [emoji6]
