Hello everyone,

the two of us have bought an approx. 125m2 gallery apartment in Bavaria.
The building is an 8-unit house and we share the attic floor with another owner.

The apartment features on the "ground floor":
- open living area with staircase to the gallery 57m2 (minus roof slope approx. 51m2) Ceiling height here approx. 5m at the ridge
- hallway 7.8m2
- bathroom 8.8m2
- office/guest room 8.8m2
- bedroom: 19.1m2
- roof terrace facing west

in the attic:
- open gallery approx. 10m2
- office approx. 10m2

The 2m line is drawn.
For the gallery, we imagined an open staircase (possibly white) with handrail only on the wall side, so that it does not appear too bulky in the room.

Unfortunately, I am unsure about the floor plan whether the missing guest WC and the somewhat small hallway will be missed or bothersome in the long run.
Also, I would like other opinions on the floor plan regarding meaningfulness and logic. :)

What do you think about the windows? Are they sufficient?

Currently, we are still in a construction phase where changes can still be made easily. Therefore, I am open to any criticism and maybe someone will see something we have overlooked.

Best regards

Hello,

I don’t find the hallway disturbing.
I would find a guest toilet nice.
The bedroom and the open-plan living area are larger than in our 160sqm house. I would prefer a guest toilet there.
On the other hand, we also lived for several years in an apartment without a guest toilet, and it wasn’t bad either.

Are you sure that you can still change much or anything at all there? With an 8-family house that is under construction, I could imagine that being very difficult.

We do not know the underlying floor, so how are we supposed to suggest any shifts of predominantly load-bearing walls? - I see little potential for advice here, and certainly no clear recommendations.

Hello everyone,

According to the developer, changes are still possible at the moment. Currently, only the foundation slab has been poured. Regardless, feel free to make suggestions on what you would improve.
Thank you :)

@Hausbauttaum20: what do you mean by Allraum? Okay, that reassures me.
