Floor plan of a family house in an edge location with an open view

A sliding door usually has worse sound insulation, which typically appears as a core task of a door in the bedroom.

Maybe an extra door into the actual sleeping area (opening into it)? Then you would have a) sound insulation to the outside b) sound insulation within the parents' area in case of differing daily routines and c) children with claustrophobia could use the parents' bathroom without lying half in bed.

Would be an option. But would of course disturb more often in the bedroom/restrict furnishing and more or less make the sliding door unnecessary

...the windows would of course need to be positioned differently :p
all passages are of course doors. At the entrance to the sleeping area, you can now make a sliding door.

A sliding door usually has poorer sound insulation,

Thanks for the hint. I hadn't thought of that.

I share the concern. However, the door is drawn running in front of the wall and effectively narrows the usable stair width at the exit.

That was just my internal drawing. The sliding door would be built 100% into the wall.

I always wonder why someone plans a children's bathroom and then makes it as tiny as a guest bathroom at 3.5 sqm, while building themselves a 9 sqm spa.

Do you all really think the bathroom is that tiny? It should only be enough for showering and brushing teeth in the morning and before going to bed - so that we don’t get in each other’s way. The large master bathroom is of course open to everyone and not reserved for the parents only.

I would keep the entrance closed as much as possible and instead plan a large glass area facing the terrace. For the person entering, the effect is almost the same but you still have privacy.

If I close it, it will be dark. One half of the window will be able to open. This way, the children’s friends can go directly from the street into the garden without having to walk through the living room.

The large master bathroom is of course open to everyone and not reserved only for the parents.

However, I would think carefully about the access situation; as shown (and also in the nice design by ), it would be clearly too little privacy for me.

Master bathroom :eek: Please please no. Not only is it a terrible Anglicism, the term Master is now avoided in the real estate sector in English-speaking countries because the term implies racist and sexist stereotypes. Unless you are selling Southern mansions to a nostalgic clientele.
