Floor plan single-family house, approx. 200 sqm - comments welcome

Just briefly about the kitchen: I would run the kitchen unit straight through and hide the door to the utility room in it (if you fully cover that side with tall cabinets). I think climbee has something like that.

I think climbee has something like that.

And is currently planning it:

No idea how spacious the air space at Alessandro’s place is, I am referring purely to the floor plan in this thread - and 6sqm of air space IS not generous and will never appear generous and is nothing more than a hole in the ceiling. In the worst case, you only have the chimney effect and noise and cooking smells from below are directly transported to the sleeping floor.

Of course, not every cm has to be planned, but a planning "measure" usually pursues a goal or aims to achieve something. Thus, the term "airspace" alone does not really say anything if it is not accompanied by a coherent concept. Only then does there really exist the danger that it might be perceived merely as a hole shot into the ceiling. I have also been in some show houses with "airspace" and felt it was done just so it could be named as a higher-value feature or a stylish special feature. In almost none of these show houses did I find it truly appealingly implemented, but rather found it stylish if an open space was available on the upper floor. If the upper floor is rather tight or only provided with a small utility corridor in front of the rooms, it also raises the question for me whether it was done half-heartedly or just to be able to call it an airspace. Without a coherent concept, an airspace alone probably only brings disadvantages. Why not, for example, a glass floor for these 6 sqm...?

The airspace must fit with the rest. Generosity is a matter of interpretation. In the floor plan, it enhances the effect of the room through additional light and the absence of a ceiling. The unobstructed "dance floor" between the living room and dining room provides a direct view from the entrance door into the garden. And that is indeed an additional wow effect. Of course, the open space must be paid for, but if we all only consumed based on utility, there would be neither SUVs nor hotels with penthouse suites...

The difference is visible in the direct comparison!
You can't deny that either
