We rotated the staircase because usually you go from the bedrooms to the kitchen, to eat or to the living room. This makes more sense to us because of the shorter distances.
What are we talking about? A castle with a south wing or 2 meters between the stairway entrance and the kitchen? By rotating the staircase, you turn the living room and sofa into the most restless zone in the house. Your dining area and kitchen are not big enough to serve as a gathering place.
We plan to use the area under the stairs as storage space.
If you want it like a few previous floor plan drafts, then it needs to be drawn in. That creates a completely different spatial feeling, namely more closed off.
Which surface area are you talking about? Next to which door?
Next to the bedroom door. The planner knows why he didn’t draw a 60 cm cabinet there. Because it simply doesn’t fit anymore. That’s a pity; it would be a great cabinet wall that you actually should have.
In my sketch, there was a normally sized sink in the guest bathroom.
Yes, as a layperson you can draw in a lot. Fortunately, the planner doesn’t adopt everything. At least you should still be able to reach the shower without bumping into things.
What size would you choose?
It doesn’t matter. They have to fit with the rest. You could also use narrow ones. But of course, 70-100 cm is to be aimed for.
I looked at the example with the long kitchen window, but I’m not really convinced because you can’t look straight out while standing.
You can. We implemented it ourselves. However, your view is directed down into the garden, not to the sky. But that was just an example to generate storage space in the kitchen.
Here again are the current fronts as they are currently in the floor plan:
If you like Bugs Bunny in the southeast who got hit on the cheek and consequently has a crooked mouth, then go ahead and do that. Could it be that you don’t let the planner plan but rather tell him everything?
