Floor plan initial sketch - needs improvement?

I would also remove the "speis," and I wonder if you really want to sell the children two rooms that are so differently sized, that will sooner or later cause conflict, plus an 18m² bathroom? Do you need that?

Grid)
A common grid size in timber panel construction is 62.5 cm. The structural timber in the core of the exterior walls is usually positioned centrally at the intersections of the grid lines, so that a stud thickness plus two total thicknesses of the outer cladding results in a typical calculated "overhang" of the exterior lengths over an integer number of grid units. In your case, the exterior walls are probably rather aligned on the outside of the grid lines, 12 units + 2x 29.5 cm = 8.09 m. 9.34 x 9.965 m would be a floor area of about the same size "towards a square" in the same grid.

Bathroom 18 sqm)
Such a size can quickly arise when a design with a gable roof without a knee wall is transferred "1:1" onto a 2m knee wall. With two washbasins, corner tub plus shower, bidet and enough space so that mom is not bumped while putting on mascara, such a floor area already comes together without a knee wall.

Moreover, a typical approach in still inexperienced layperson planning is to initially allocate reasonable individual areas for certain rooms from a floor area; not infrequently, this leaves too much space for the bathroom, and a pantry without a sense of reasonable dimensions simply steals some corner from the home office ;-)

But that’s exactly what such forums are for, so that everyone can stumble a bit at the beginning when learning to ice skate.

Good Sunday everyone,

I think I have to rethink the architect's plan.

Of course, I can't produce a perfect drawing on the fly, but I have adhered to the house measurements plus the wall thicknesses. For now, I'm just concerned whether this approach might be conceivable in your opinion.

The guest WC would need to be dimensioned a bit differently so that a wardrobe fits better. In my opinion, the living room seems a bit more open and I no longer have a long hallway.

Please don't take the drawing amiss, I hope you can imagine the approach to some extent :).

Best regards,
Ravosch

Search for floor plans online. For example, Clou 156 with the entrance on the gable side.... Although without a pantry, otherwise similar to your design. (I'm sitting in the dining room right now ;)) It probably works with your exterior dimensions as well

Quite similar to our floor plan. However, we do not have the utility room on the ground floor and can therefore build it a bit "shorter." But with the narrow width of 8 m, I would consider the half-landing staircase, as that could provide a bit of "breathing space."

Why do you keep trying to access the house from the east instead of the north courtyard side? I don't like this floor plan; I don't find it cozy. The living room is a traffic and walking area, even a junction because of the stairs. There will hardly be any coziness there. Privacy is practically zero. If you don’t want a view into the south window, put the kitchen there and use blinds. Living and dining on the entire west side. Use a straight or half-turned staircase. And a kitchen directly accessible near the utility room will save you the pantry. Best regards, Yvonne
