Floor plan recommendation from you

Hello,
thanks for the tips. One question about it: What is so bad about the stairs at the entrance? I haven't quite understood that yet. The front door will be beautiful - we are spending a lot of money on it. I will probably be happy every time I see it. ;)
Best regards!

Well, if south is at the top, then north must necessarily be at the bottom. ;)

Reading helps :)

As Musketier already said: all the street dirt collects in the first 2 meters behind the front door. Even if you’re "clean" ;) Even when children run up and down (in the evening) in socks or barefoot... it’s no fun with sand under your feet... in winter it turns into mud squeezed out of the soles of the shoes... and sweeping/mopping twice a day, nobody does that either. In my opinion, the "stairs at the entrance" grew out of necessity: a space-saving way to arrange the rooms upstairs or to adapt the staircase run to the pitched roof, but on the two-family house. It only makes sense if you can still install an apartment door behind the stairs. It could easily be changed by placing the stairs 2 meters behind the front door or turning the stairs... unfortunately, prefab/type houses or their sellers are somewhat inflexible and uncreative :(

I have revised variant A a bit. The hallway is now slightly smaller. The office is a bit larger. The living room is marginally bigger because the staircase was moved a little.

hm, I mean, you waste dozens of square meters in the hallway and bathroom and empty space between the living and dining area. Instead, in the not-so-optimal kitchen, you end up bumping into a cabinet. Where are the stove and sink, refrigerator and oven supposed to be placed there? If a city villa is planned and you will have a pretty front door, the front should maybe be designed accordingly -> centered arrangement of the door, symmetry. I liked the former better, yet it is by no means so optimal that two or three small shifts wouldn't make a difference. And as already said: how is the ceiling supposed to hold at the stairs? There's a missing support, that is, a load-bearing wall.

Well, I don't think a large hallway is wasted space. But that's certainly a matter of taste. I love entering a house where you have space right when you come in. I also don't really see the WC as wasted space. You can just about turn around there. If I want to shower there too, I don't want to have to maneuver around the sink. I prefer it to be more spacious. The kitchen is a valid point. Maybe the cabinets need to be arranged differently after all. I'll think about it.

I haven’t quite understood the problem with the stairs yet. Unfortunately, I'm not a stair builder either. I copied the suggestion from a catalog as it was. I think there was no additional wall there, or was there...??? I'll check. 8-)
