Floor plan draft for a 220m² single-family house

Didn’t you originally want to make the kitchen smaller?

This time I specifically looked for the chimney shaft and at least found it on the upper floor. But not in the basement. No idea if it’s not needed there or if I’m just blind again?
Are you very sure about the type of fireplace? The pipe in the room really limits your design options and if it’s just a nice-to-have for you, if you have money left over, you should definitely find out how the hole can be sealed during the transition period.

Otherwise, you want to move on to the details now, right?

I like the idea of making the kitchen wall completely straight. It makes the passage by the stairs a bit more airy.
The corner by the office wouldn’t bother me that much, but if you have the feeling of always running into a corner, I would definitely change it.

Some friends of mine interrupted the wall opposite their straight staircase and made a passage. So you don’t always walk into a wall when coming down. Maybe that would be an idea for you too – possibly with a side panel for even more openness? Of course, that would entail some changes in the kitchen, but you don’t want to leave it as it is anyway.

I might move the office door downwards on the plan so you don’t have to walk so far through the dining area (although I can see the reasoning for not positioning the door right behind a seating area).

Is there supposed to be a third shower on the ground floor? For what purpose? Could the guest WC perhaps be made slightly smaller to enlarge the cloakroom a bit? To me, the relation between the cloakroom and hallway doesn’t fit.
Are you closing off the stairs to the basement completely so that you can at least put something in front of them?

I hope you’ve completely crossed out the pantry as the "main entrance" for you?

In Kid 2, you should check the possible furniture arrangements again; a bed directly under a window is, in my opinion, not ideal.

Has the drainage of the bathrooms above the living area already been discussed, how it works?

I would then think about a door between the bedroom and dressing room. And place the door in the area centrally between the wardrobes if you’re already sure now that there will be equally deep wardrobes on both sides.

2 things that I do not find optimally solved.

1. The access to the living room with the corner of the kitchen in the hallway area.

2. How is the drainage of the master bathroom supposed to work?

2. How is the drainage of the master bathroom supposed to work?

Oh, don’t confuse things here with facts
The drainage of the master bathroom is located at the corner of the upper floor that doesn’t even exist on the ground floor. The downpipe would come down in front of the sofa. Well, a design-oriented architect can certainly overlook that sometimes

But that you caught a diploma pedant like me overlooking it too: Chapeau!

I have an appointment with the architect shortly and will raise the issue of drainage.

The drainage is supposed to run through the ceiling first and then be led down at another point, e.g. at the chimney pipe. The architect says this is part of the execution planning and I shouldn’t worry about it.

There is actually only one point left open. The offset at the couch above. There are still two open variants and we want to decide by tomorrow. My wife prefers it where the niche is behind the couch, I actually like the continuous wall better. I have also attached the exterior visualizations for this. I don’t find the niche on the outside very pretty. The architect prefers the niche solution from the outside and the straight solution from the inside... difficult...

He will incorporate all other changes.

We also discussed a KG.

Home theater with toilet flush is part of a planning error and you should give him a piece of your mind.
