Floor plan optimization - semi-detached house approximately 150 sqm

I can only recommend everyone to simulate their floor plan in 3D with a free program like Home by me! It saved us from catastrophic wrong decisions. When you furnish the rooms with the program, you immediately get an impression of the dimensions.

Thank you, we have already been shown that as well and didn’t think it was so bad. The dining table in front of the terrace door is of course somewhat suboptimal. But you can get out anyway. Besides, the table drawn in is too big.

What would be your suggestion? The thing with "bathing in an agricultural operation from 1960" is really a bold statement without justification and a better suggestion. What would you do differently?

… no one feels like wasting hours on a plan when the prerequisites are not known. You have now been asked many times from several sides to provide a site plan, Google Maps view, dimensions of the property, and neighborhood here. You do not comply with that. For the third time: no arms, no cookies. Means: no information, no suggestions.

it got smudged when tracing.

Not copying by hand, but scanning or photographing would be the solution. For example, I also don't really believe in the different types of interior walls in the architect's plan as "copied."

Nasty, but accurate.

What's interesting: everyone has now criticized but hardly anyone makes a suggestion.

No, not interesting. But the banal causal result of a bad AND faulty plan that is only explained bit by bit in how it came about. We still haven't seen the existing basement :-(

Just explain to me briefly what you need this for? I simply do not understand. The exterior walls are fixed, you have north. The location of the other half is probably clear as well? Everything else is fixed and, according to the question, complex. Your cookies will probably stay with you then. By the way, "no arms no cookies" is simply tasteless. In Europe, by the way, there is currently a war going on, good man!

What is exciting: Everyone has now criticized it and hardly anyone makes a suggestion. I’m starting to believe that everyone here only thinks narrowly in their own ideas and that a joint design could never be developed.

A really good alternative floor plan has already been developed here several times with a lot of effort. But that requires viewing the floor plan not just as a minimal change to the original, but as a development within the framework conditions. And since you still haven’t named these framework conditions completely and clearly, you won’t get a reasonable suggestion. Your feedback “we’ll take this to the architect” also shows that you want to address the problems in isolation and not holistically. Ultimately, you can’t avoid it. As soon as you move walls, the other rooms will also change automatically.

Hello WilderSüden,

That sounds good and I can understand the expectation here. But that’s not what I’m looking for. A sample floor plan from which I can learn or 2-3 tips would help me. Not the full offer. That simply helps me.
I find it strange when one person here decides who gets cookies or not. If I don’t get the small tips here because no one wants to give them, that’s okay. But you can say that nicely. We’re not in prison here, are we? :)

By the way, a 1960s farmhouse is even okay. It just shouldn’t be too cramped or dumb.
