The door hinge in the dressing room definitely has to be reversed.
The carport doesn’t steal any light because there are only roof windows in the bathroom anyway and a window is planned in Kid3. But the carport with a flat roof is already massive and therefore probably quite expensive. Whoever needs it...
Honestly, you wouldn’t want to be Kid3, even Kid2 is quite small with 13m², when you consider that eventually it won’t be a 3-year-old child living there, but a 16-year-old teenager...
Not much has changed on the ground floor. The utility room is impractically large, and the living space with many small rooms feels more like a bunker than a cozy overall area. The pantry is pointless in most cases; the supermarket around the corner can store cans and preserves better. The extra 4m² of the pantry would definitely benefit the size of the kitchen.
And yes, the “Dining” room looks stately now, but because it is so narrow and at an angle, it will feel cramped once a dining table is in there. And you always have to dance around it for the rest of your life when you want to get to the “Living” area or the terrace.
And part of the room is wasted because the dining table doesn’t wrap around the corner. After squeezing past it, you are back in the dance area...
The carport roof also seems too bulky to us. We have already added that to our list of things that still need to be adjusted.
Unsorted thoughts:
- Access to bedroom/dressing room isn’t functional. You walk into a wall, have to detour into the dressing room to close the door and then get into the bedroom from there.
- Living room very tight. Has something of an appendix. Please furnish to scale once to see if you yourself can handle it.
- The rooms adjoining the carport are downgraded (because of the windows). Priorities?
- I also don’t know if the kitchen will work this way. With so many doors it will become small. Again: furnish and see if it suits you.
Good point about the door. That really makes so little sense.
We will furnish the floor plan in the next days. That is definitely a good tip.
We have already been to the kitchen planner and planned a kitchen with 3x4 = 12m² and that fits well or even seems rather large to us.
We also planned to integrate a narrow hidden door on the east side of the kitchen, which could also save space.
We currently have a pantry ourselves and find it quite practical for storing certain things like beverage crates, coffee machine, etc.
Thanks for the feedback. At least my post #26 is confirmed here. In my opinion, you should still reduce a bit. 160m² * 3000 = 480k + carport and ancillary facilities — it will be tight. Living and dining area is very generous in my opinion.
This way you could make the house a bit wider, which I think would benefit the layout upstairs.
I would raise the house 1-2 steps if the height allows. That is also better for the mass balance.
Where it says CP/Entrance, I assume a covered terrace is supposed to go there? Otherwise, the carport should be expanded by storage rooms there.
Could you please explain the reasons why you would raise the house 1-2 steps? I don’t quite understand that now.
CP/Entrance
The street is on the east side, so we would rather expand the carport with storage rooms than build a terrace there.
Here is my ground floor, carport shifted 40cm to the east. House then a bit wider.
We like the wider design.
But would you not put a wall between the hallway and dining/living/kitchen?
We see a big disadvantage here that when guests are in the dining area and the kids come home in the evening, you hear everything from the hallway.
Looking at the floor plan, however, a wall probably won’t fit, or what do you think?
