Floor plan design townhouse with a gable roof

Good examples are, for instance, furniture of different heights. A wardrobe feels much more cramped than a chest of drawers. Space at the dining table with different chair positions. Can I turn around properly in the guest toilet or is the door in the way? What is the "flight path" into certain rooms if furniture xy is there – am I at risk of constantly stubbing my toe? Are the always mentioned 75cm around the parents' bed enough if it’s a box spring bed – or do I then end up with my knees half on the bed when I want to get to the wardrobe (= sliding doors definitely the only alternative)? What is the axis of rotation with two kitchen rows – does it need to be wider/narrower?

Things like that. I can’t imagine it on paper, the snippet says it fits, but does it fit *us*? Or do I feel cramped? Everyone experiences it differently. Can two excited children also pass through the important places without bumping into anything? Can I get through the door with a crate of drinks without hitting the handle? Should I change the door hinge to the other side again?

We had a motivated, freshly graduated architect as project manager on site, that was great.

Was that an employee at the studio of Nummers or did you bring him along?

and learned two-meter lines the hard way.

Are roof slopes already being simulated in the studio?

The experience there on site was really good and helpful, since we don’t have a catalogue floor plan.

Am I remembering wrong that you basically have a catalogue model that could still be refined?

Was that an employee in Nummers' studio or did you bring him along?

That was the person who set up our floor plan and went through everything with us on site. We sent him everything in advance. If we had had the appropriate (I’m not very familiar with this) "file," he could have also prepared it for us with VR.

Are sloping roofs now also being simulated in the studio?

No, that’s still a problem. It’s all done with walls on wheels and common pieces of furniture in all sizes. However, we were able to improvise the areas in the children’s rooms where the bed was supposed to go under the slope using partition walls, an angle, and a cloth – to see if we could move far enough out without colliding with the window. That was completely sufficient! We only learned here what a eaves height is and what it means.

Am I mistaken that you basically have a catalog model that could be refined?

We looked at thousands of floor plans, took a completely wrong turn once (thanks again for that – the quote "dark dwarf cave" has become a running gag for us, lol). The one we have now was developed by us ourselves (you also looked at it) and then nicely drawn by the draftsman of the house manufacturer, then sent to their partner company (we could have chosen another one but they were reasonably priced and committed) which offered building application/statics/energy consulting all from one source. There were still a few changes back and forth.
