Floor plan discussion and improvement suggestions

Correct, the furnishings are still from the catalog, hence the kitchen furniture at the bottom left in the office.

Regarding the kitchen setup, the entire wall facing the office is available, as well as the exterior wall.

Regarding the open space: Yes, it consumes needed space. Unfortunately, it is necessary for the lighting of the upper floor corridor. Lighting through a skylight will be difficult because the attic will be built on top as a storage area. That is why the attic stairs are drawn with dashed lines. I can't quite come up with a simple solution there yet...

Possibly, the installation of a daylight chimney makes sense here :)

I’m waving the red flag again, less facade symmetry could be your friend. The staircase location and the corridor on the upper floor have something office-building-like.

I'm waving the red flag again, less facade symmetry could be your friend. The staircase location and the hallway on the upper floor have somewhat of an office building character.

Could you please explain the point about facade symmetry? At which point do you see advantages if we break the symmetry?

I don't see the entire wall facing the office, as there is too little space between the stairs and the kitchen. There are floor-to-ceiling windows planned on the exterior wall, aren't there, or am I mistaken?

In the kitchen area, we would actually not make the window floor-to-ceiling, so that we can design the kitchen as an L-shape from the exterior wall with a wall to the study room with an optional island.

I will provide painted drawings as soon as I have some. Thanks in advance!
