And with my dear wife... :cool: Joking aside: 4 floors and such a staircase, I have to agree with the criticism from . As for the rest, I don't want to say anything because I find the size of the rooms, for example the upper floor, very strange. I can't make anything of it, see the dressing room or bedroom :D and then such a narrow corridor ... :( I find the living area somewhat unstructured.

And with my beloved wife... :cool: Joking aside: 4 stories and such a staircase, I have to agree with the criticism from @matte1987.

Do you mean that the OP doesn’t have a beloved wife, but a nagging shrew, where separate floors for the study would be necessary??? Regarding the floors, I had already assumed what impression I have: namely, that a design for a one-and-a-half-story house was taken, where "parents" are assigned with "child 2" and the parents are simply given a whole "upper floor" between the ground floor and the attic. Such a "lazy operation" would of course lose its meaning if one considered, in the process, dimensioning the staircase proportionally more generously in relation to the new-to-old total square meters. In conjunction with the confession (with concrete floor plans) of having entered the design phase before the preliminary design phase (decision about the distribution of the room program and building volumes) was completed, I see the architects as virtually proven to be nothing more than general contractor building permit draftsmen. That explanation is enough for me regarding the staircase ;-)

That's exactly what I feared: that all the question marks in my view are not bad coincidences, but rather go back precisely to wishes implemented by the architects. Try it once without all these wishes, just with the pure room program. To put it briefly, I would be "not surprised" if a more convincing design emerged from that.

That's how we did it. Only the room program was specified. Maybe it came across differently in the questionnaire.

According to the windows in the drawings, these are all dark corners ;-) But otherwise, I can't understand where the house gets this basic (floor) shape from. I would rather put the guest room on the ground floor and prefer to have the studies on the same level with my wife. Was there a starting model (I suspect with one less floor – the upper floor)? – The upper floor seems to me to go back to the design technique error (which usually doesn't happen to professionals) of not developing the upper floor first – its inefficient size and layout almost force this suspicion.

Regarding the upper floor: we plan to reduce the size of the parents' bedroom and make the home office a bit bigger. We love the dressing room and bathroom in this size. What exactly don't you like? Your answer is somewhat generic. Whether the guest room or second office is on the upper floor does not matter. My wife currently tends to work on the ground floor so she can quickly get a tea, etc. But it ultimately doesn't matter as the usage is flexible.

And this too, design technique error number two: planning specific floors before the room program and building volume are defined and "divided" (i.e., design before preliminary design). Ouch. This strengthens my suspicion that a one-and-a-half-storey stock design was taken.

The room program and building volume are fixed and have been taken into account. There was no stock design from our side.
Regarding the staircase: how would you plan it? We wanted to take the view of the vineyards to the north. Ceiling height: about 3 m on the ground floor, so according to the architect, a straight staircase is difficult.

Any ideas for the stove location?

Would you care to elaborate what kind of object this is and under what circumstances it justifies the diagnosis of an inevitable deep demolition?

I haven't figured out the quoting function on the iPhone yet. Therefore, you will find some answers in the quote window. Sorry

You can't really quote me with that now ;) Staircase: without dimensions it's hard to say: if you roughly assume double the size of the kitchen, then it only takes up about 4.5 sqm. With a ceiling height of 2.50 meters, that would be a standard staircase for a semi-detached or row house, so really tiny and thus steep for a ceiling height of 3 meters. Uncomfortable, so to speak. For the house size also quite subordinate. If you then consider that the children have to go up and down this staircase twice constantly, I would call it an unsafe traffic route.

1950s house with poor substance and damp basement. Floor area 10*11

I would first clarify why it is damp before I start digging there again.

You can’t quote me with that now

Where there is a Willy, there is also a way.

Only the room program was specified. Maybe it came across differently in the questionnaire.

Indeed, it says:

Which corresponding wishes were implemented by the architect?, separated parents' and children's area,

... and that is how it was done, probably in the least diligent way I described.

We love the dressing room and bathroom in this size.

Explicitly with a botched layout and an unnecessary 7.77 sqm sub-hall?

Room program and building volume are fixed and taken into account.

No, neither: the cards absolutely have not yet been shuffled, regarding the basement neither its existence nor its size are fixed.

There was no preliminary draft from our side.

I don’t suspect you of that, but the "architects".

Regarding the stairs: How would you plan them? It was important for us to take the view of the vineyards towards the north. Floor height. On the ground floor it is about 3 m, so according to the architect, a straight staircase would be difficult.

I would not take a staircase 1:1 into a design extended by a whole story; one more step doesn’t mean you couldn’t use what is called a "landing staircase" in the forum. I know that 40 years ago spindle stairs were considered fancy even in larger single-family houses.

Ideas for the stove location?

No, but you caught me – I forgot a wink remark last night: "a wing, a wing! – Mother, the mountain is a hill!" (loosely after Loriot).
