Floor plan design single-family house - flat roof - 142 m²

So, the ground floor is up and running and today we asked ourselves whether the front door actually opens in the right direction?



When you enter the house, you usually go to the wardrobe and then to the sink to wash your hands.

Shouldn't the front door rather open in the other direction then?

If you consider this sequence, it might make sense to change the hinge. On the other hand, I think that with the door open, a narrow corridor is created when looking into the living room/garden and the already not wide hallway is further narrowed.

Whether the planned bench will still be there, we don't know ... maybe we will put it under the stairs.

The wall projection of the WC rather suggests the depicted stop on the right...

You don't seriously want to have to walk all the way around the opened door individually in case of an emergency to get outside from the upper floor?

No. You also have to close it and turn accordingly, unlike the storage room at work, which you close with your backside or foot.

Pest or cholera? I would probably leave it as it is. Especially as a family, when several people want to enter or leave the house at the same time, there will be a bottleneck if the door hinge is on the right. Everyone in, door closed, then to the wardrobe? Annoying in everyday life, even though is of course right, in an emergency the left hinge is inconvenient. But how likely is that?

Even small fires can produce a lot of smoke gases – then you want to get out first. How likely is it that if you run into the door while escaping (because the one fleeing ahead of you had to open it), you’ll then be in the mood to philosophize about probability?
