The kitchen as a whole and the bathroom (not the size here, but the layout) would bother me a lot.
2 tall cabinets, one to crawl through the pantry is a valuable space for a tall cabinet too little. The pantry doesn’t even offer space for a second refrigerator or tall cabinet (location of door, window). But for me, even if I cook alone, the work surface would be too small. Of course, also storage space, because as a cook I really don’t want to always move through a cabinet into the pantry to get something. This whole combo is not well thought out. I see it similarly with the cloakroom and dirt area: the cloakroom is only there right now to accommodate the currently worn jackets, but what about the other jackets? And shoes? We have about 8.5 sqm with gas heating and controlled residential ventilation, with about 3 meters of kitchen cabinets on one side. The rest of the space is shared by recycling goods, bags, cleaning supplies that are not stored in the cabinet, tools, and bags again. Our dog actually needs about as much space as a human resident, so about 60 cm of closet quality per head. That fits nowhere here. Sooner or later you will have a cluttered hallway if you don’t plan storage space for everyday things now. I don’t see the office corner as a problem. But it could get tight if you also have to accommodate a printer and such or several family folders.
For me not only that, the tub with the washbasin together could also get tight: if you put the tub where the washing machine and dryer are planned, then put the toilet at the head end of the tub by the window (rotated at the head end), and then two washbasins on one long countertop. Underneath there, where feet shouldn’t bump, the washing machine and dryer. Since you can also rinse off in the tub, I would also build without a shower on the ground floor. If it’s for the dog, then please consistently without that door through the technical room, which only wastes valuable space. There is no roof hatch drawn? I’ll just say it as a conclusion: there are bigger houses with 150 sqm. Here functions are being shuffled around so that the functional aspect of a room has to serve many purposes in theory. You will probably always be somehow dissatisfied because the room is functionally not sufficient. And who is to blame? The straight staircase! Double quarter turn makes the hallway shorter and the kitchen wider. The house is already narrow anyway – and due to the size limit, the kitchen (too) small. (…Says someone from a 2-person household who hoards little)
So we’ll leave the kitchen planning for now and see what the kitchen studio suggests. Maybe the kitchen can still be pushed out into the dining room.
Yes, the cloakroom is only for current jackets and current shoes. Otherwise, shoes are stored in the wardrobes. Isn’t that normal? I don’t see that as a problem now. A dog needs things, but we have a drawer full for that. Actually, that’s something you fully equip at the beginning. But dogs really don’t need much. At least not ones with sufficient undercoat for summer and winter. Leash, collar, toys, poop bags, food and water. That’s it. But of course it can be different for everyone.
What exactly do you mean by the door in the dirt area and being consistent? I don’t understand the idea right now.
A shower was not planned for the dog. I actually plan to install a warm water connection outside or with a hose outside. Unless it’s minus 10 degrees. Shower is just for more flexibility.
Roof hatch? You mean for the attic? Retractable ladder is planned. Not drawn in. Thanks! I have to catch up on that.
How exactly would a different staircase make the kitchen bigger? Can you give me an example? With the quarter turn, the hallway will get wider, so the kitchen would become even narrower.
