Floor plan design single-family house 150 sqm - tips for improvement?

So, to give the helpers here their due credit: there were indeed corrections that have broad approval. Contrary to the idea that everyone says something different and there is no consensus at all.

That a thread with more than 250 posts needs to be sifted through and that some posts are off-topic and others contradict each other is the nature of the matter. This is not "lack of help," but simply the fact that as the original poster you have to separate the wheat from the chaff yourself in such a long thread. Without complaining about the chaff, mind you. It is unavoidable given the length of the discussion.

Moreover, there is a certain reluctance to consider the changes that really make a big difference. The main point is "space program overburdens area." In that case, only compromise solutions can be developed, which naturally may be seen as suboptimal by one side or the other. You will have to live with that. If you want 140-150 sqm and still 3 toilets and some room in a very specific location and possibly a certain staircase as well, the options for variation are limited—and you will always end up with rather small rooms, no matter what you do.

But you don’t say it like that: with you it comes out as: not worth discussing. ...who prefers to sleep without a window rather than take a few steps to the utility room....etc. Please just read your posts on the pages for the tone, not the content. -

Are we in a petting zoo here? Man! This is the construction forum. In the industry, there is a rough tone and the truth should be clearly laid out when it comes to the investment. One really wonders what has become of the men. But that would really be below the belt now, so I’ll stop here.

That drifts too much off topic ... personally, I have benefited from , the problem in my opinion is that, for example, Katja was totally motivated and then was somewhat held back, she actually only meant well.

Just everyone slow down a gear ?!

PS: I just love the "sender-receiver model" !!!

"Space program overwhelms area".

Oh, how nicely summarized. Mind you, all this without a basement with a utility room.

If we had a flat plot with a plain normal two-story house here, none of us (probably not even Karsten) would have come up with the idea to pack something like this into 150 sqm.

But it doesn't matter anyway. My favorite client in my building area has an entrance area that is bigger than the living room, with 150 sqm. At least Frank listened to the suggestions here and evaluated them for himself. Mine never had that chance. Mine is as happy as a clam about his generous hallway and justifies the tiny living room where only a 3m x 3m sofa fits with every word.

Hehe....and which one is inadequate now?

Hihi....and which one of the two is useless now?

neither, one depends on the other.

As I said, of course I'm not an expert, but who is here, just because everyone has already built once (we have also built once) and brings their experiences here!? Nobody can tell me that things haven't been implemented in your houses that another person would never do for themselves.

No one is an architect! Kaho helps a lot and makes the effort to present floor plans... all great, but as already written here, if I as the original poster present a plan that already suits me/us quite well, then I would have wished for change recommendations on this draft that do not immediately turn everything, the entire design, upside down.

Please take a look at the latest drafts. Kaho, you mirrored the covered area, which was previously oriented to the south into the garden, and placed it facing north! Why? Does one want, not only for smokers, but also to have the possibility to look into the garden area under cover during a shower? Why should I look north onto the street? I already understand why, because otherwise with your arrangement it simply wouldn’t fit (stairs...), but I don’t see sense or benefit in the covered area for that.

The room layout of your version too! It was asked what is important to me/us, but I can’t see much of that in the draft. Compromises, sure, but you can’t just erase all wishes!? Why three bathrooms? Yes, a guest WC with 2 sqm could go, but does that really matter? Hallway, stairs—I said we are open to that, then it says here “one has committed to one kind of stairs,” which is not true at all!

As I said, a pity but just that at the end, I am not attacking anyone here, no matter how emotional some may take it, no one. And it has nothing to do with "what’s wrong with men.." but with style!!!
