Floor plan MGH 200QM - Evaluation ideas

I suspect you have assumed a similarly, let's say, nicely "strange" computational model of the staircase for the visualization as in the drawing.

Yes, the steps/staircase are symbolic, I only calculated the angles (30-35 degrees, about 4 m staircase length) and stretched it accordingly.

Door for the WC will not work like this

The entrance situation works so much better this way, but compared to the great, open kitchen/living/dining area it still feels somehow blocked, sorry. If it is to remain like this, the wall from the hallway to the utility room or bedroom could be moved to the right according to the plan to align with the WC wall. The room where the doors currently open cannot be used anyway, and this way you could place the WC under the stairs and move the door to the right. However, I am not sure if iterative improvement is sufficient at all or if the first third of the ground floor should be considered together with the upper floor and possibly completely rearranged. For example, I am still not a fan of this en-suite bathroom because it takes up a lot of space and restricts the flexible use of the bedroom. However, I understand that you don’t want to go from the bedroom through the hallway into the bathroom... so why not have the bedroom upstairs and a combined guest/workroom downstairs? It’s standard, but that doesn’t mean it has to be bad. In any case, it fits better with room usage during the day. Another breakthrough would be to move the connections and building services to the garage (if possible).

Yes, we already have that today; as long as the kids are still small (<20 Anno's) that works well, but that won’t last much longer, for that reason I won’t build. If one day with a partner and/or grandchildren OR maybe grandma/grandpa live upstairs, then in my opinion you need the separation, otherwise there will be war eventually.

Combined guest/workroom? > We also have that today, which currently means that guests (family staying longer) sleep in our bedroom, we’re in the workroom because I also have to work and the guests otherwise have no retreat (nap or something) or cannot sleep in, not ideal.

I changed it again in the last few days, removed the pantry, bathrooms upstairs next to each other, bigger kitchen, overall 75 cm shorter house (yes, to save costs :). Hallway still narrow but bigger than our current hallway.

And tuned a bit more, only one toilet on the ground floor, one less room upstairs, the house has become somewhat smaller overall. Unfortunately, the technology has also become a bit smaller again.

So, here’s an update again, so you also have something to laugh about :). The floor plan has been significantly changed again, the floor area on the upper floor reduced by an extension on the ground floor. Requirements for the upper floor have been further reduced and the guest chill workroom combined, and grandparents will only move in if at least one child has left the house. Garage canceled, replaced by just a "shed," carport optimized so that less paving is needed. Overall, we are quite satisfied, but maybe someone will notice a problem area.
