So - the (quite) final draft. After initially turning the entire plan upside down and redesigning it with the complete living area on the ground floor, we then approached the original version again, but with some clearly noticeable adjustments for us.
The individual balance between living, guest area, TV corner, quiet area, retreat option, functionality and overall appearance and all that in line with the development plan as well as the requirements of the property is probably always a long way to go...
What was changed, also because of the various rudeness mentioned here -
Ground Floor:
- Staircase to the upper floor rotated, so no passing through the gallery area anymore, making it quieter there
- Living room moved to the upper floor, which freed up quite a bit, living room is anyway used rather rarely
- TV area now in the guest/elderly/whatever room (2nd TV/projector in living room upper floor?)
- Guest room extended by 1 meter, now 15 sqm, staircase and entrance moved as well
- Utility room adjusted according to technical requirements, possibly still divided (pantry/utility room)
- Small living room or lounging area/relax chair by the fireplace / furniture (furnishing different though)
- Dining room where the living room used to be (can be furnished either way depending on mood)
- Glass surfaces changed, two solid wall panels for fireplace/wood as well as free or KS
- Bathroom adjusted so that it has pleasant dimensions for us (size of shower etc.)
- Glass roof on the terrace in front of the kitchen area
Upper Floor:
- Wall between bedroom/bathroom will be moved slightly more towards the bathroom
- Current living room furniture fits exactly in front of the now large window
- Half-high room dividers in front of it for the emerging office nook...
- Bedroom furnishing will be different, bed centered, away from the wall
- Shower will be like this or possibly also 1x1m or a bit bigger, but then with a door
Windows throughout the whole house adjusted/changed, south and west side with blinds
