Floor plan evaluation single-family house 147m2 gable roof with extension

The ground floor layout simply looks like DINKS and not a family with children. I can well imagine it as a set for a Tatort in an affluent environment in a Munich suburb. ;)

Very good. The corpse is probably hidden in the ground floor bathroom. It's so far away, no one ever comes by ;-)

I rather see the grieving widow holding on to the kitchen counter in shock or sitting in the [Barcelona Chair] during the interrogation staring into the garden. :D

Traffic volume in the kitchen with children manageable?

Between the island and the kitchen unit is one of the main traffic routes on the ground floor

2.5 m for eating is too little. At most, you place a bench at the partition wall.

I don't find it that bad at all. The washing machine is supposed to be in the utility room – so the most important route with the laundry there is eliminated. Only the parents necessarily have to go to the office. The pantry belongs to the kitchen anyway, and after that they slowly left it. There aren't that many guests who would queue from the guest bathroom all the way to the kitchen.

That makes it clear to me that we have very different tastes (I couldn’t bear a kitchen island crooked in the room).

You also have some things standing on the countertop there that we don’t own.

It’s not about taste, nor about my kitchen. Nor about my appliances. When I plan floor plans here in the forum, it’s not for myself, but for the OP. Hence also the questionnaire.
My kitchen should and cannot contribute to the discussion at all, since we built a house for two. However, I took the length as an example. And yes, you asked about it: it looks different now because we had to build an extension. The walk-in pantry had no more space, although we had 180 cm of 60 cm cabinets next to the sink for storage and preparation. Without counting the island. What will be the case for you?

I would rotate the house 90° counterclockwise.

Rotating is not an option. But I would probably arrange the block somewhat differently as well. Probably, because a design does not come about in just a moment. You have to try many things. Especially when you no longer have the option to make the house a meter longer or change its size otherwise. You also don’t want to destroy the visually appealing design, which is quite tasteful (except for the windows).

The kitchen in the “walking area” is actually deliberately like that.

It is overall part of the compromise.

Part of the compromise. Actually, a compromise should be a minor part of an otherwise very nice functional house. has very nicely shown that your workspace is also your “hallway” in the open space.
Explain to me how the Christmas baking is supposed to take place when three other people either play, do schoolwork at the dining table, the day’s chores like laundry (ground floor/upper floor) happen, etc.: You stand and sit in each other’s way. That simply cannot be denied.

I always try to compare the draft with previous living situations, and here we are better off with the storage areas and so far it has gone smoothly.

Until now, you lived as a couple. Now there is offspring... something else is still planned... living as two or with a baby is different than as four with teenagers.

We almost never sit in direct sunlight. We therefore hope that we can cope with it.

I would rather make sure that light comes into the house. And yes, sunlight is also sometimes quite good. Especially in winter. At the dining table, where playing and supervised schoolwork take place, sufficient daylight also does very well...

Regarding the kitchen: then I apparently tick differently than the average.

If you order spaghetti bolognese with the extra sausage cauliflower every day, then yes ;)

Feel free to point out mistakes/problems ruthlessly. It’s still early enough to counteract.

That was a sentence with an X :p

Enough criticism: make something out of it!
Maybe I will still find time to draw your kitchen for you or make some more concrete suggestions.

P.S. For me, unfortunately, the house has little to do with an atrium bungalow. The extension/hall/office lacks a terrace door with a nice view into the courtyard, which would also let in daylight from the southwest.

I do think you often have to go through there. Especially when working in the kitchen, it is annoying. You sometimes catch your shin on the drawer.
