Floor plan for a single-family house without a basement / 4 persons

It already looks really good!

Could additional double casement windows on the upper floor in all rooms be useful, or were they just not drawn in?

We also have a kitchen counter like that, but in the end we decided against bar stools because the dining table is right next to it and we didn't miss them. Otherwise, I think it would be "too much" and too many chairs at once. We have shelves there partly with doors facing the dining table where you can also store things you might need more often for eating.

Does such a 2.79 m² storage room make sense? Your bedroom is quite large, maybe better to take a bit from there? We have a 6 m² storage room on the upper floor and I wouldn’t want it smaller, otherwise it doesn't bring much...

The double casement window is only planned in the bathroom above the toilet. The south roof will be completely covered with photovoltaic modules, so no double casement window. The storage room is small but should be sufficient to store a 40 cm shelf for cleaning supplies, a laundry basket, and a vacuum cleaner.

Only the guest room on the west side, where the carport is, still worries me a bit. The next few weeks will go into detailed planning.

Hello everyone,

attached are the current plans for the building application.

Unfortunately, the window in the bathroom had to be made smaller, and there is now a large shaft for ventilation, heating, electricity, etc. in the pantry.
Should I have the shaft relocated to the utility/technical room?

Do you have any other suggestions for improvement?

Thank you very much in advance!

Rather change the format of the window, crosswise like the one in the kitchen, and question whether a bathroom window really needs a roller shutter. Where does this large shaft suddenly come from—do you have a turnkey general contractor with many subcontractors and little detailed planning who wants to create a lot of room for improvisation? Why is the shaft masonry all around? In my opinion, no, it should not be relocated. What do red and green symbolize in the plans?

I find it all quite nice, beautiful clear rooms. But I do not like the open-plan space at all. The kitchen takes away space from the living room corner: the dining table also leans into the chill area, not just when viewed from the entrance. I would steal at least 60cm from the kitchen, move everything to the right according to the plan, and thus give the living room at least 60 cm more space for the sofa. Currently, about 2.40m for a sofa is quite uncomfortable.

I correct to a whole meter at least. The dining table should align with the window and door. A large kitchen is nice, but it should fit harmoniously. The space is there too. The bedroom can give some space towards the storage room, the utility room some towards the wardrobe.

Better change the window format, analogous to the one in the kitchen, and put the question of whether a bathroom window needs a roller shutter up for debate. Where suddenly does the large shaft come from – do you have a mailbox-GC with many subs and little detailed planning, aiming to create space for a lot of improvisation? – why is the shaft masonry on all sides? – no, in my opinion it should not be relocated. What do red and green symbolize in the plans?

1. If I copy the wide window from the kitchen into the bathroom, then I’d have a window in the shower!? :D Or what do you mean? Roller shutters can be omitted in the bathroom and will then be deducted monetarily.
2. Respected regional GC with over 50 employees of own trades (70%) and few subs (30%).
3. The shaft is needed for the controlled residential ventilation and the size will be adjusted in the construction planning. Whether it has to be masonry I will question tomorrow. Thanks for that.
4. Which view do you mean with red and green? Terrain height, slab? The garage is, for example, marked in green.
