Floor plan question. Plot 369 sqm. House size 9x9 meters

Well, I assume that the OP has been working on his draft for some time. That’s why the answers are not easy for him to digest as preliminary input; it takes a bit.

Hello everyone,

thank you very much for your comments. The floor plans are just meant to be an idea, nothing more. We will sit down with an architect in the next few days and then see what is feasible. In any case, I will consider some of the suggestions/criticisms mentioned here and incorporate them. I hadn’t even thought about things like the 2-meter line regarding the washbasin, but I think the architect will take that into account.

What do you want to tell us with that?

The OP has already been active in the thread (several times) since then, but unfortunately did not respond to any of the questions or suggestions posed.

That is all I wanted to say with post #11.

Actually, I avoid answering rhetorical questions. Apparently, my intention was clearly recognizable after all.

People should also be granted time for reflection and processing. Sometimes you read things on mobile and reply later. Sometimes a united front forms here, forcing the OP into a defensive stance or tearing down their work so much ("back to square one" and the like) that I can quite understand the lack of responses. That does not make your feedback technically wrong, as you really do see some gems here, but try to put yourself in the other perspective as well.

Hello,

I absolutely do not see in this thread that the OP was forced into a defensive position.

Perhaps would like to say something about whether he felt that way?

Of course, it is not nice when one's own work mostly "gets" critical remarks, but it is up to the person asking whether they consider the (mostly well-intentioned) comments or prefer to stick to their unchanged draft.

However, when a draft is posted here, I have always expressed my personal, honest opinion, since the questioners specifically asked for it.

That was also the case in 2013 / 2014 for me when I made my first "attempts" here in the forum and had to accept quite a bit of justified criticism for our amateur planning.

If no one had pointed out one or the other "awkward corner" in the house back then (based on their own experience), we would probably be annoyed almost daily today about some of the planned "nonsense."

Today I am grateful for the often clear statements at that time, as they undoubtedly helped us massively to build our dream house.

Therefore:

: If my remarks actually "brought you down," as claimed: That was by no means my intention – I think I can speak for most of the people writing here with this statement.

Regards,

Dirk

My remarks were also of a rather general nature ("sometimes") based on what I observe. This thread is still comparatively mild - I am specifically criticizing the impatience here, because 20 hours is nothing. Recently, someone only got back days later due to a business trip. It’s not a drama (but it read like one before the OP's response).

thank you very much for your words. The fact that I replied only after 20 hours has something to do with the fact that I first wanted 3-4 comments on the floor plan, then I was only online with my phone and waited for a small buffer so that I could reply on the PC. Of course, after so many answers you have to sort things out and make a few more thoughts about the floor plan, but I am grateful to each and every one here for their answers, these did not bring me down at all but were rather a good impulse to think. I created the draft one evening casually on the couch. Therefore, this is not a floor plan that we want 100% now, it was rather meant for us to see what might be possible. And I find personal opinions that are not always nice better than if everyone here had said, wow great do it like that.
