Floor plan initial sketch - needs improvement?

Accessing a house from the short gable end is always very bad because then in a classically planned house a long corridor results. Unfortunately, to me it also looks more like a series of rooms linked together. For example, where do you want to place a kitchen unit, where to accommodate the wardrobe for 4 people?

I believe the floor area is too small or awkwardly planned for everything you want :( Does the pantry seriously only have 52 cm interior width? That is far too small to store anything useful; you would be better off with a supply cupboard in the kitchen. And as already mentioned, there is no space for a coatroom. How about swapping the guest WC and utility room and moving the WC in a bit? Then maybe at least a small coatroom could fit in front, and the entrance wouldn’t be so narrow. The upper floor is not really my thing either, the rooms are quite different in size. If the stairs are moved, it could ease the layout upstairs a bit. What is the small room? Storage room? On the nice south side?

I hope this is better in the attachment.

It would definitely be a good idea to swap the utility room with the guest WC. Of course, there is the possibility to enlarge the house, but I want to save the costs and it doesn't really change anything significantly.

It would of course make sense to place the living room on the longer side in terms of layout, but then I have the neighbor right in front of me to the south.

The small room upstairs is supposed to be a storage room. However, I want it to be a dressing room for the adjacent bedroom. And from the large bathroom, I want to cut out a small storage room.

In my opinion, the pantry is also much too small. I don’t know what the architect was thinking. The space is also not really ideal. The kitchen unit should actually be in an L-shape there.

So I would be very grateful for any improvements and help...

How does it come about that, for example, the width of the house is exactly eight meters and nine, do the unusual dimensions have a reference to a specific template?

I also wonder about the exactly 29.5 cm (according to the drawing probably double-shell) exterior wall. Is the storage room 3 there intentional (for what purpose, with the huge garage) or just a random leftover area?

Overall, it is not really clear to me what is intentional and what just somehow happened.

Overall, I don’t really understand what is intentional and what just somehow happened.

It is a prefabricated house in timber frame construction. The dimensions are based on the grid division. So if I want to make the house bigger, it is enlarged in grids (about ~67cm per grid?!). Why it ends up exactly at 8.09 m here I cannot answer directly; it is either due to an architect’s program or because everything was drawn somewhat inaccurately.

The arrangement of the rooms is intentional, but the exact size of the rooms has not yet been specified. I find the kitchen, pantry, and living room too small. The guest WC is too large.

The storage room 3 upstairs will, as mentioned, possibly be converted into a dressing room for the adjacent bedroom in the west (in the picture above). I don’t find a storage room so bad, especially for vacuum cleaners, toys, or similar things that otherwise just lie around.

I will furnish the house this evening and definitely swap the utility room with the guest WC. Then I can create a wardrobe right by the entrance area. In my opinion, the guest WC is too large since we won’t need a shower downstairs.

I definitely still have a problem with the pantry. The space is really more than unfortunate in this location.

Then just delete them :)
