Floor Plan Optimization - Fireplace Problem

However, the fireplace could be positioned in such a way that the wall is planned for built-in cabinets.

But the chimney in the ground floor and first floor is not aligned.

I know. But it could work something like this. In the living room about 50 cm further to the right.

Integrating a chimney into the wall was rejected by our general contractor back then, they said it would cause cracks.

The architect should be able to manage that.

It can certainly be done even more elegantly.

But the chimney on the ground floor and the upper floor are not aligned. Integrating a chimney into the wall was rejected by our general contractor at the time, as it would cause cracks.

What I find even more worth avoiding are replacements in the area of the ridge beam.

You have to go through door-width bottlenecks everywhere in the rooms. Do you already have three children? Then you should already flinch at the marked furniture arrangement of the children's rooms - especially for child 3. They consist of hotel furniture made up of a single bed, desk, and wardrobe. What about, for example, all the clutter that children usually have? Or play space? How flexible is the furniture? Your wardrobe space, on the other hand, is very, very tight. You have so much space and everything feels cramped.

Thank you for your answer. What do you mean by door-width bottlenecks? Can you define that more precisely? Yes, we already have 3 kids. The furniture has so far only been drawn in by the architect in that way. We still have a whole room in the basement as a sports and playroom. On the ground floor, there is also an office/guest room where part of the things that are currently in our closet are stored, so that in the bedroom only everyday clothes are kept there. I am not a woman with thousands of clothes or handbags; therefore, we see our current needs and believe that we will manage quite well with it.

So, firstly: what does the property have to do with my question and the basement?

And secondly: what on earth does my forum name have to do with the architect's planning?

Sorry, no offense, but please stay on topic.
Still, thank you for your opinion and your effort.

Here quickly. Something like this?

Super sweet! Thanks! I will think about it.
