Floor plan single-family house 110m² - ground floor + upper floor - first draft room layout

If you put the sink at the back, you spend most of the time with your back to the room and facing the wall; you use the sink much more often than the stove.

True, I use the sink more often than the cooktop. For me, it’s more decisive on what occasion and at what time I use what. I also spend more time in bed than on the sofa, and yet the bed does not get the ground floor south side facing the terrace.

And this casually standing at the stove and chatting only works when you’re cooking pasta and ground meat.

And when you have a shared breakfast with eggs, grated or pancake... And when you prepare several courses freshly and don’t want to leave the company for that... And when you get so caught up in talking that you quickly want to eat something and spontaneously fry up a few leftovers... And when you prefer to show off your cooking rather than your dishwashing skills... And... There are good reasons for a sink or a cooktop on the island (or both if there’s enough space – which is neither the case here nor in my home), but definitely no “better” or “worse.”

I am also in bed longer than on the sofa, and yet the bed does not get the south-facing ground floor side to the terrace.

Good comparison :)

And seen? No sign. I have also been looking more closely for about 20 years now when it comes to houses/properties.

Thank you for all your suggestions! :)

We had also already considered the cooking island that is open on both sides, but our concern was that there might not be enough space for it. For us, the cooktop will definitely be on the island and the sink towards the back, since most of the dishes usually end up in the dishwasher anyway. That is certain for us, but still thanks for all your suggestions and ideas ;)

I can understand that the fireplace can be omitted. However, we live somewhat higher up at about 1,000m in South Tyrol, where it can get a bit colder in autumn and spring. That would save us a lot of heating costs, since during that time we can heat the house with the stove (also for this reason we see the open spaces even more as a plus).

I am planning my house for me and my family and not based on guests who might show up at birthdays. I would never put a beer bench in my house anyway, let alone in the living room with a wooden floor.

That would save us a lot of heating costs since we can heat the house with the stove during that time

As long as you have access to firewood, you will save.
A wood stove only works as heating to a limited extent. It heats up very quickly and strongly, and then cools down very quickly again. If you expect a heating function from the stove, you need a storage stove, which besides an additional cost also requires space, unless you can design the wall between the wardrobe and the living room completely as storage. The additional cost will then be correspondingly higher.

As long as you have access to firewood, you will save money. A fireplace stove only functions as a heater to a limited extent. It heats up very quickly and then cools down just as fast. If you expect a heating function from the stove, you need a storage stove, which costs extra and also takes up space, unless you can use the entire wall between the cloakroom and the living room as storage. The additional cost will then be correspondingly higher.

Firewood is no problem. The idea was to install a storage stove, as is common here with us. In my opinion, the planned space should be sufficient; we have already seen many apartments/houses where the storage stove had these exact dimensions.

Good comparison :)

Oh dear, you definitely weren't allowed to come home drunk, otherwise you'd end up at the neighbor's. (Everything looks the same!). And the houses are as wide as a normal car is long. :oops:
"Living on the stairs" fits here.
