Could you explain in more detail what exactly you mean by the vestibule? I'm not sure if I understand it correctly.
If I remove the airspace and then put a door next to the stairs, it would be an absolute darkroom behind it. Furthermore, you'd have a door there but right next to it, the stairs are open to the back.
Maybe I have completely misunderstood it
More or less you understood it correctly, no matter what the fine tuning on the floor brings now.
It is as it is: a house needs space at the entrance for coats, bags, shoes. I'd say at least 60 cm width per person.
Without a wardrobe or closet, the entire hallway will become cluttered. There is no other place to take space from than the unnecessary airspace.
How do you imagine coming home? Apparently, that you come in and admire the view through the panoramic window.... Jacket and shoes, that doesn't exist
Do you have little helpers at your place who make your stuff disappear?
