Floor plan of a single-family house, feedback

(And "outside" here means "into the hallway," no longer "into the room.")

Just assuming once, I am curious: what do you expect from it - a bit of hotel or hospital feel at home?

Just hypothetically, if I were curious: what do you expect from it - a bit of hotel or hospital feeling at home?

The space in the hallway for the door is not important to us. It is purely a passage area; no one stays there longer, and nothing is placed there (above). However, in the rooms, it is space that is no longer blocked solely for the door.

The door has a swing radius that is used for entering and exiting. It is not suitable for placing things. There is a reason why doors open inward: it reduces the risk of accidents, not with bicycles, but similar to the dooring accidents of the residents when they move around upstairs. Collisions are prevented by keeping the rather narrow communal hallway area clear. When entering and exiting. I'll put it this way: Child 2 gets the door leaf from Child 1 slammed into their face. Doors are often not kept closed or you walk through the hallway toward the bathroom in the dark. It is also harder to enter the room because you have to avoid doors that open towards you. This is best done inside the room to avoid blocking the hallway. You can also more quickly get caught on the door handle in a hallway. Rescue workers who want to save residents from fire or something else are also not helped. Or rather, the person to be rescued is hindered.

Exactly why you don’t put anything in the room within the radius. In the study it’s still relatively okay, because the door is centered in the room. In the bedroom, however, the door is bothersome. And nothing gets placed in the hallway, so it doesn’t matter there.

Since one child gets a sliding door and the other a swing door, it makes no difference there. The swing door goes both ways anyway.

The children’s bathroom and the study would be the two possible ones to run into, the bedroom is at the end of the hallway. That is unlikely.

Emergency responders trying to rescue residents from fire or other situations are not helped either. Or rather, the person to be rescued suffers here.

That’s actually the first reason I’ve heard for the change that can’t simply be argued away.

Fortunately, it’s “only doors” — if it actually turns out to be a problem in everyday life, it’s a comparatively simple change. (Switch/room controller position is still the hardest part, but that can be remedied with preparatory wiring.)

In the bedroom, however, the door is disturbing.

What is it disturbing for?

- if it actually turns out to be rubbish in everyday life, it is a comparatively simple change.

No, not really. Screed and expansion joint are affected.

What is she bothering about?

Cabinet. With the door opening outwards there is significantly more space for it. (No, not all the way through, but more than with the door.)
