Floor plan of city villa - What do you think about it?

Your kitchen is not designed as a living kitchen, is it? Therefore, I would consider whether you possibly forego the stylish island solution and instead reduce the kitchen by about 50-60 cm. That should be enough to fit a toilet in there. And as I said: our technical room is 12m2 and we only have 1 door and 1 tiny window in it and it is really full of equipment. There is room for 1 cabinet. You have to consider that you also need space to collect and hang the laundry. The space requirement for the ventilation pipes should not be underestimated. Which air heat pump are you getting? Indoor installation or split unit?

So our kitchen is planned as an eat-in kitchen, so there is a small breakfast bar with two bar stools at the cooking island. I have to say that the sliding door to the living room will be a little larger than drawn, so that it looks a bit more like an eat-in kitchen. We might need to reconsider that...!

It would be a split unit with outdoor installation.

What I don't quite understand is why the dressing room is impractical? Because you go from the bedroom through the dressing room into the bathroom and you don't necessarily have to go back to the bedroom from there. That's exactly why I designed it so that you can exit the bedroom and then move back and forth between the dressing room and the bathroom without waking your partner, since sliding doors are installed. If you have a bedroom with a door, the person on the other side always has to walk around the bed. Or where do you see the problem here?

Another bathroom solution would be to place the children's bathroom next to the bedroom, then it wouldn't be so long and narrow. What do you think about that? We're just wondering if it might be too loud when someone showers there at night? Although I also don't find it ideal that the bedroom and children's room are next to each other. What do you think?

So.... just a thought experiment... phone lying on the bedside table as an alarm clock.... get up, walk around the bed, through the dressing room into the bathroom to the hallway door, close it first, then get ready in the bathroom, then get dressed in the dressing room, go back to the phone and leave.

I guarantee you, you will never in your life walk the way you are currently imagining. The walking routes are simply too impractical. Also, every bathroom visitor inevitably moves back and forth between the two doors to open or close them. Do you use keys? Then it's even worse, because the door you want to go through is always still locked.

A dressing room should always have access near the bedroom/hallway door to avoid disturbing the partner more than absolutely necessary. This round trip is the opposite of that.

Good evening,

So.... thought experiment... phone lies on the bedside table as an alarm clock....

Creepy thought experiment; I’m so glad every evening to at least be rid of the phone overnight

I find the solution very practical. From getting up, through the dressing room to the bathroom; the biggest noise source is blocked by the dressing room. And the partner is no longer disturbed in this solution either, since the dressing room can be separated from the sleeping area by a sliding door.
