Thanks regarding the table.
Picking up your comment from yesterday again, that we are making a proper botched improvement here.
Attached is the first version from December, overlaid with the latest approaches – so pushing the sofa forward, we are abandoning that. Yes, you get a wider sofa, but it also stretches the seating area in an awkward way. The sofa currently shown corresponds to the sofa we have now and very much like in terms of size. The fact that the bend is no longer in the wall, I think, really improves the situation.
It looks different with the wardrobe and the guest WC. We find the later version more pleasant. The previously much recessed entrance offered us no advantages except for weather protection, is probably significantly more expensive to build, and simply wastes space. We can well imagine that the wardrobe around the corner can look very nice with a window in this "hallway," and the guest WC is nicely protected there as well. This variant also has the advantage that the technical room becomes larger.
An open point is the staircase. A landing staircase with a depth of 2.8m probably goes too far into the house (at most, you might gain half of the outer wall thickness if you extend the landing into a window over the full width). Downstairs, 2.4m is now drawn in as the worst case. Either you get a "three-flight staircase, twice angled with intermediate landings" (yes, now I know what it’s called thanks to the Raumpilot :D) or a nicely half-turned staircase.
We have now also omitted the protrusion in the dining area to keep the building volume simpler. We somehow need to get a better feeling for what something like that really costs.
