Floor Plan Discussion: Single-family house on 630 sqm plot

It's actually quite normal that a step forms here. The floor construction in the bedroom is usually lower than on the loggia because a proper insulation towards the living space is required there. If you want everything on one level, then the floor construction on the entire upper floor has to be higher and the staircase possibly longer.

Does your planner also know that a whirlpool is supposed to go there, because that brings quite a bit of load on a small area.

Thanks! I told the planner again about the whirlpool. He knows, but I also wonder why he didn't include it in the plans. I would find one step okay and tolerable. But that would just be a bigger step over the threshold for me than a real stair step, right? More would be bad.

Which scenario am I overlooking that makes the direct and easily passable passage to the kitchen so indispensable?

You have planned it because of the groceries. EDIT: Whirlpool .. have you ever used such a thing more often? I can hardly imagine that it happens more than 3 times a year.

You considered him because of the shopping.

You mean with the shopping, I generally saw it way too tight? I just don’t see myself standing in the kitchen now and saying, damn, that I have to go through the dining and living room to the toilet and can’t go directly through the hallway. That’s why I specifically ask which scenarios you have in mind that you think are missing. Oh sorry, I actually wanted to answer that too. Yes, we like to use those things on vacation. I know they are controversially discussed. But we both also like to take a bath. The roof loggia is actually meant to be a retreat for us parents. What others maybe have in the living room or even separate parent bathrooms, we have there. Our living and dining room will resemble a playroom for the foreseeable future. There has to be space for children’s toys. Not everyone may like that, but for us it belongs. In the long run, a swing will also be installed on the ceiling of the living/dining room.

The question is why you are planning a whirlpool behind the bedroom. You have one child, so you can't take care of it then. You want a second child, the same applies. The thing will basically be used once and then never again. I bet! Why don't you plan the whirlpool in the garden, where every family member can benefit from it? A loggia or balcony is overrated in a house with a garden/property anyway and only costs with little added value.

The whirlpool on the balcony is nonsense, as someone already mentioned. You might as well say that a balcony with a garden is nonsense. No one stays there in a single-family house.

Are you that sure about it?

Do you read all the answers? Do you want to accept answers only from certain users and therefore do not respond to all? Do you block users, e.g. me? Or could it be a coincidence that you only respond to certain responders? You don’t have to explicitly answer everyone, but when several reply on a topic, it is strange if you act as if it is a single opinion. You do yourself no favor.

Hey, sorry, I wanted to reply to that as well. That was definitely not intentional. I then looked for the post when replying but couldn’t find it anymore.
Thanks to you too for your feedback.

As I said: the loggia should belong mostly to the parents as one of the few things in the house. Of course, the kids are allowed in there sometimes. But when I think about the kids wanting to hang out there with friends at some point, I don’t know. We don’t really want that. It should rather be a private area. There is also going to be a pool in the garden, which can be used accordingly (also by guests).
I don’t quite understand the thing about childcare. Sure, with a baby and toddler the usage time is greatly reduced. But that time will pass (faster than you think). Even now it would be quite possible for us to sit there for an hour in the evening when the little one is asleep. Could you please elaborate on your thought regarding supervising the child? Maybe I’m overlooking something.

By the purchases you mean, I generally saw it way too tight? I just don’t see myself standing in the kitchen now and thinking, damn, that I have to go through the dining and living room to get to the bathroom and can't go directly through the hallway. That's why I'm specifically asking which scenarios you have in mind that you think are missing.

I have the scenario in mind that you never have peace in the living room. The kids grow older, bring friends over. Even later in the evening, when you might want to sit quietly in front of the TV. But everyone has to go through there if they want to get to the kitchen.
