Floor plan, living area too narrow, ideas / suggestions

Hello,

we are currently planning our single-family house with a 9 x 11 m floor area (no basement is planned) and have received a first draft of the floor plan. Somehow, we quite like everything, but it doesn’t seem 100% right to us. Maybe the living area is a bit too cramped and we are considering building a slightly larger one after all.

What do you think?

Best regards

I can't find the equipment at all, where is it housed? Garage etc. not planned?

Hey,

so the equipment is in the utility room, so just to the left after the entrance.

The garage is still an issue because it is not yet clear whether the car will only be parked under a carport.

Ah, a air heat pump with central ventilation and underfloor heating is planned as the heating system.

our floor area is 9.2 x 10.3 m
And yet our bedroom is 22 sqm, and both children's rooms upstairs are 19 sqm, the bathroom is functional and spacious enough with 10 sqm.
Upstairs you are wasting a lot of space with a huge hallway and that storage room.
About the dressing room that is just as big as a children's room, I won’t say anything, and whether you need a 14 sqm bathroom or not, neither.

Downstairs the utility room seems too small to me. ours is 8 sqm and everything just fits in. But it depends on your technology. I certainly don’t see a 300l hot water tank in there if heating and ventilation are supposed to fit in as well.

I’m just putting our plans here. Maybe you can derive something from them for yourself.
Brief explanation in the hallway downstairs. This niche is a 2.37 m high Ikea Pax wardrobe for all shoes and the coat rack hangs under the stairs, where there is enough space for about 15 jackets. Our two strollers also park under the stairs.

The sqm figures above in the hallway are not correct. Those are our preliminary measurements. So there are still some small mistakes. It is just under 4 sqm.

The only disadvantage of our floor plan. It’s a bit tight at the dining table. There is now a table 90x200 cm and it just fits. If the table is fully occupied, the terrace door has to stay closed. Or be fully open.

Hello,

that's funny, downstairs it almost looks like at our place. The house dimensions also almost match (8.84 * 10.64).

Friends of ours have built something similar and I was already able to get an impression of how big the living-cooking-dining room will be. I find it sufficient. Honestly! The living corner at our friends' place is big enough, but also still cozy. You can plan the kitchen with the tall cabinets next to the door to the pantry, and the work surface and sink along the left wall. So planned as an L-shaped kitchen.

I don't think I would go bigger with two kids and a large guest room.

To create more space upstairs, I would plan completely differently:
Make the bathroom smaller
Rearrange the dressing room, bedroom, and child 2 to create two larger children's rooms
Child 1 (with a bit of space from child 2) as the master bedroom without dressing room.

There are also two doors in the bathroom. This means you always have to lock two doors when someone is in the bathroom and doesn’t want to be disturbed. I predict that one door will eventually always be locked ;)
