Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

You are not very good at text comprehension, but in the picture it is obviously clear that one of the BD of the upper floor DOES NOT lie above the DD of the ground floor:

#775

Is it bad that they are not aligned vertically? That is due to the hallway downstairs.

Is it bad that they are not aligned?

"Only" that it doesn't work. But that only matters if the house is actually going to be built. Just on the drawing, it doesn't matter at all.

Thank you, I will get information.

Is there something wrong with the color Silver Aluminum? The blinds will all be light gray. Window frames from the outside anthracite and roof slate gray.

Silver Aluminum was suggested to us because it is better for children, as it doesn't heat up as much (in case children touch it).

I chose aluminum slats and blinds because they do not heat up as much, therefore they cannot warp as strongly and they (in my opinion) create nicer light when open as the light is reflected inward by the curved slats. Besides, you don't see the pollen dust as much as on the darker slats.

and are right.

We are extremely capricious. And this is a guide to unhappiness. Yes.
But I can’t build anything if the gut feeling isn’t right and I don’t like it myself. We got lost and ended up with an architect who only drew. But there was no innovative input or questions when we planned something that doesn’t work. Maybe we expect too much.

This is now our latest version. Do you have any suggestions for improvement?
We have the shower downstairs because the space for a huge wardrobe seemed somehow too precious to waste. But somehow you have to use the space if you want a wide kitchen. The shower will be used from time to time anyway. Whether a huge wardrobe or a third shower. I think you don’t really need both. I have no better solution. The husband insists on a parent’s bathroom.

We removed the dressing room. By leaving the window there as it is, you or a future buyer can still put up a drywall if a wardrobe is necessary. We came to the conclusion that we don’t need it. That way we have enough space for the bed and a laptop desk in the bedroom. Although I don’t know if it’s weird to set up a workspace in the bedroom.

My concerns about this floor plan:
Is the whole house a huge waste of space? Do you need 18 or 19 sqm for the bedroom, do the kids need rooms that big? Or should you treat yourself to that if the budget allows?

And do you think the two side elements at the entrance seem poorly planned? Because one element doesn’t fit properly into the hallway, but ends about 20 cm short of the wall and somewhat into the wardrobe?

Do you think a floor plan with a staircase running straight from the entrance would work better for us?

Anyway, we have to come to a conclusion soon. The general contractor will shoot us to the moon soon, as 11ant already said.

A workspace in the bedroom has a bit of a hotel feel. I like that, especially when it blends well with the furniture. In my opinion, the children's rooms are too big. But it depends on your children. We used to prefer playing in the hallway or living room. When the children are outside, you have two huge rooms that are probably hardly used.

I think it's good that you keep thinking when the gut feeling isn't right. The question is, do you make progress by constantly redrawing? (Have the kitchen and living room been swapped again???) Or should you rather look at show homes (virtually) now that might correspond to your floor plan and see what your feeling says then? And I would always say, if the plot and budget allow it, build bigger! Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to build bigger and I miss a few square meters in some places!
