Floor plan - opinions/feedback desired

Hello everyone,

a few months ago we already posted a floor plan here and received many useful feedbacks from you....thank you again!
In the short term, however, we decided on a different building area and accordingly a different plot. Due to the new plot situation, we have planned again.
We would be happy about suggestions and criticisms on the design...

Hausentwurf
Von wem stammt die Planung: Raumvorstellungen und Basisentwurf von uns, Überarbeitung durch Architektin
Was gefällt besonders:

- Im OG: Möglichkeit für kleinen Arbeitsplatz (Photovoltaik) im Flur solange Spitzboden noch ausgebaut wird
Was gefällt nicht:
- reicht der Platz im Technikraum?
- asymmetrische Wand zw. Kinderzimmern (unterschiedliche Abstände zw. Mittelwand und Fenstern)

Preisschätzung lt. Architekt/Planer: ---
Persönliches Preislimit fürs Haus, inkl. Ausstattung: ---

Noch eine kurze Erläuterung zur Lage:
- Nord: Nachbarschaftsbebauung
- Ost: Straße (Wohngebiet)
- Süd: landwirtschaftl. genutzter Weg, Fuß-und Radweg
- West: Feld

Verunsichert sind wir noch ein wenig bezüglich der Fenstergrößen (ausreichend in Kind1/2?) und den allgemeinen Anordnungen.
Aber grundsätzlich sind wir natürlich für alle Hinweise und Rückmeldungen dankbar... ;)

EG: Do you really need FIVE doors leading outside? Are all of them burglar-proof doors? Usually, two are enough: a main entrance and a door to the garden/terrace from the living area. OG: The gallery definitely has enough space for a work corner, maybe it can be separated with a semi-open Ikea room divider. The children's rooms are not the same size, but at first you only have one child and the smaller children's room can initially be used as an office or guest room. That the children's rooms are not the same size often feels bad for parents because they want to be fair (I know the problem, our house also had no equally sized rooms; the older child eventually got the larger one and the younger the smaller one, and so far neither has complained). Maybe this can be offset by the furnishings if the child in the smaller room eventually complains about lack of space (adventure loft bed with storage and a cave underneath, or cool youth loft bed with desk underneath and lounge area next to it). The fact that the window is not in the middle of the wall does not matter at all. Friends of ours were in a situation where they bought and renovated an old building where there was not much to do about room sizes; they have two children with an age difference of 2 years, and two children's rooms were available in noticeably different sizes. Our friends solved it by having the two children share a bedroom in one room and share a play and homework room in the other. Maybe that would be something for you too.

Yes, the issue with the 5 doors can certainly be questioned again. If anything, we could most likely do without the patio door facing south, since the main garden and the terrace already face west.

We don't find the difference in the children's rooms that bad now, since the smaller room still offers us enough space.

We are still uncertain about the window sizes on the south side. An alternative would be windows on the upper floor with a sill height of around 50 cm. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything like that yet. Does anyone here have experience with this???

The window behind the couch would then have to be floor-to-ceiling so that there aren't too many different window shapes... The disadvantage would be that the couch would be directly next to the floor-to-ceiling element...

Our windows in the living room are each 2m floor-to-ceiling, the one behind the sofa as well. That's how we would do it again, even plan for bigger windows rather, definitely not smaller.

Best regards

I quite like the floor plans. However, I find all the windows very small. On the ground floor/upper floor, these are raw construction dimensions of 163 cm width; what remains as a passageway with two sashes? Even mathematically, you are reaching the optimal limit on the upper floor. What remains as window area in the children's rooms? 1.5 sqm? That might be enough for 12 sqm, but you have 15/18 sqm of floor area in the rooms. We have doors everywhere at one meter, and we had the double sashes (also in the bedroom with a railing) widened to two meters, luckily without extra charge. Besides, I have to say that you can never have enough garden exits. At least you should be able to go outside from every side of the house – but that is my personal opinion. Additionally, floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor provide the desired spaciousness and proximity to the garden, that is, to nature. You can compensate for the size difference in the children's rooms with niches in the partition wall, where built-in wardrobes can fit. That then saves the wardrobe or the bookshelf.
