Floor plan planning for our single-family house Single-family house in SH

Who says that you are looking in the door direction? You assume that the window is at your back...

Yes, I think that's obvious. Otherwise, when working in the "corridor," I would constantly be in the way. That would be even more unpleasant than looking at the door. Why exactly is your island angled? Just so it doesn't look so sterile?

The Christmas roast in the pantry is probably less unusual than a surprise door for a locked utility room in the guest bathroom. I would rather have the door lead from the study. That brings me to the question of why you need such a gigantic study? Are you a circus artist setting up your trapeze there?

Valid question. We had originally even planned 2 studies, but dismissed that again due to the resulting relatively small rooms. I do quite a bit of home office work and would like to have a comfortable workplace for that. My wife occasionally works from home, but uses her "half" of the study all the more for her sewing projects. Especially the latter requires space (~3 machines, lots of material, etc.) and if I want a reasonably tidy corner in the study, it needs a certain size.

Yes, I think that’s obvious. Otherwise, I’d constantly be in the way in the “hallway” while tinkering. That would be even less pleasant than looking at the door. Why exactly is your island angled? Just so it doesn’t look so sterile?

I would also like to see that sometime.

We originally even planned 2 workrooms, ...

Ah, one would have liked to know that earlier. Such a shared workspace is of course very beneficial for young love. Have you ever thought about placing the utility room upstairs and having more space downstairs for the shared mega workspace? All without having to go through the bathroom? However, that would eat up the storage space upstairs. Ah – so many possibilities...

Have you ever thought about moving the HAR upstairs and having more space below for the shared mega office? All this without having to go through the bathroom? However, it would eat up the storage room upstairs.

Sorry, no matter how much you talk, you can’t think of everything.

Moving the HAR upstairs sounds interesting. But I imagine it would be difficult, e.g. with regard to the gas connection.

But I imagine it’s difficult, for example regarding the gas connection.

Well, you’d have to ask the gas guy. We had the gas heating in the attic in the end terraced house. So I see that as relaxed. Presumably, all the supply lines are a bit longer. Is that a huge amount? I have heard so many different things. Apparently every seller calculates differently. For us, 3m more piping was absolutely negligible in the hundred-euro range. But I have also heard here in the forum that some had to pay a thousand per meter. You have to ask the construction company.

Is that a huge amount now? I've heard so many different things. Apparently, every seller calculates differently. For us, 3m more line was absolutely negligible in the hundred-euro range. But I've also had voices here in the forum who had to lay a thousand per meter. You have to ask the construction company that.

I doubted the fundamental feasibility without questioning and therefore never considered it. That is a good hint that opens up new possibilities again.
