I overlooked the roof window :oops: ;) How about continuous flooring in the living/dining/kitchen area?

Hello kbt.

I would like "Star Galaxy" in the hallway, the office, and on the stairs. My wife would like wood look in the living room. One of the two should also be in the kitchen, because otherwise three different coverings would meet at the kitchen door area. We cannot agree on the same covering throughout the entire ground floor :(

9 meters wide for a house is not narrow. 15 meters long is already somewhat long ;) 15 meters is at least too long regarding your windows. You can do something with double casement windows, but generosity and size are always in harmony with light. Wow, the rooms upstairs are about 7 meters long - that's not exactly great :eek: Dark rooms remain small, even if they have a quantity of living space. Therefore ... I would have made all the rooms a few 3-4 sqm (or even 5) smaller, so shortened them and invested the savings in dormers or a third gable. Then there would also be a nice spot for the piano. 22 sqm for a children's room is really not necessary. Besides, the planned staircase is the smallest version usually installed in terraced houses and semi-detached houses where there is a lack of space. Do you only have one terrace door?

Space for a wardrobe in the hallway is missing. In general, the house would benefit from a storage room, preferably on the upper floor. I would shorten the children's rooms for that. Otherwise, I think the floor plan is quite okay :)

Good evening and thank you for your comments,

I am also not very happy with the shape of the house; that is ultimately due to the plot. I actually really wanted an L-shaped staircase, for example 3 steps - landing - 12 steps. This could not be realized due to the building length or would have resulted in unacceptable compromises for me. The limited space in the hallway downstairs and the lack of a storage room upstairs is also the main criticism I have of the floor plan; however, I hope that we can find a usable, small solution under the stairs.

Yvonne, do you really think the children's rooms could become too dark? I hoped that the large double-leaf windows would let in enough light overall. The size of the rooms is certainly considerable, and that is intentional. But if I insert a room in between, it becomes cramped again. I do not want a dormer for "stylistic" reasons. I would have liked a Frisian gable, but that is supposed to cost nearly 30,000 :D Why do you always have to make compromises when building a house? ;)

We only have one terrace door. We do not like floor-to-ceiling windows.

Where would you place the stairs to the "attic"? This is intended purely as a storage room. Would a "normal" staircase still be possible from the upper hallway, or only one of those "folding devices" that is recessed into the ceiling?

I would be very grateful for some feedback on the brightness in the children's rooms. According to the applicable state building code, we would have to plan 1/8 of the room area as window area (rough construction measure?), so about 3.25 m².

Currently, we have 2.1 m² on the gable side (east or west) plus 1.9 m² as a double casement window (south).

Double casement windows are supposed to bring more light than "normal" windows - that is logical.

Does anyone have practical experience?
Will it be reasonably bright and friendly?
