Floor plan optimization for a semi-detached house of 150-160m² on a 360m² plot in a new development area

Thanks again for the many points to ponder! Water and wastewater disappear into the exterior wall in the timber frame houses – I had already asked about that for the original location of the upper floor family bathroom. By saying to lay the pipes directly, I obviously meant both... But the position between the children's rooms is not above the bathroom, utility room, or WC. What would be the advantage there? The privacy screen for the WC doesn’t have to be there, it just happened that way. We don’t want a “built-in shower,” but one with a glass partition. Otherwise, I like the idea of the washbasins in front of the T-piece. What you perceive as cramped or spacious in the bathroom probably always depends on what you’re used to. In the current old apartment, the three of us have 3m² for shower, washbasin, and WC – basically the guest bath downstairs, oops: The redesign of the staircase, WC, and utility room, which creates the wardrobe, is great, I’ll show it to my better half right away. I found the route through the kitchen and living room less "winding" before. The kitchen island practically served as a room divider between cooking and eating. With the staircase in the living room, we had the following plan (after we abandoned the little storage room idea): complete closure to the hallway by a sawtooth wall from the steps up to the ceiling. The niche then offers space for a play corner and crawling blanket or later a bookshelf and beanbag or similar.

If you install a water softener and have a cleaning lady, that's legitimate. Otherwise, with 2 kids, I would really think twice about it. I built it with bricks in the newly built house (previously glass) and love it. No annoying wiping off anymore and it always looks good.

However, I previously found the path through the kitchen and living room less "curvy." The kitchen island basically served as a room divider between cooking and eating.

It does in my suggestion too, it just became longer.

If the passage to the left of the sofa is to remain as is, I would skip a double door and only put a door on the left (right next to the stairs). That creates a longer wall for the sofa and it doesn’t look quite so "squeezed into the corner."

, would you like to post a picture of your kitchen? Because what you have shown of your house so far is impressive.

Where in Muc are you at home? Just curious.

Quick update: We signed with the notary for the land - that's why there hasn't been anything new here in the last few days... The second appointment with a planner last Friday unfortunately wasn't what we had hoped for. At least we now know another provider with whom we probably won't be building. Next weekend is then the next second appointment with another provider. Let's see how that goes. Unfortunately, a general contractor from the area hasn't gotten back to us since we asked for a customer's house to look at. It's been more than 2 weeks, so holidays are hardly an excuse anymore.
