Floor plan single-family house, approx. 200 sqm without basement - assessment

Yes, on the one hand, that's right, it can be done differently without having to bend yourself. But then the living room and kitchen become even smaller in some configurations. What do I gain from that?
To be honest, I do not want these two rooms to be smaller right now, but rather bigger/more spacious. Ergo, others have to be smaller. I saved space in the hallway.

For me, it is not "a bit more" if my main rooms have to become even smaller because of it. I would rather live overall with just the narrow passage to the kitchen.

And I think I already have the sense of space because I am aware that all the furniture is somewhat larger. I can also walk through the house in 3D using the program.
I could outfit the whole house again with 80 cm doors and reduce the size of the cabinets and display cases. In the utility room, for example, there are large 2m wardrobes with a depth of 67 cm. Of course, I can fit many more small heavy-duty shelves in the room; I could also place these sideways like kbt09.

I could also go for 10x14 m, but then I would have significantly less of my garden.
Alternatively, suggestions are welcome where it is not exactly 12x12 m.
The 12x12 was initially just meant to be striking, but in my opinion it makes sense because the width of the plot is well utilized and at the same time not more of the southern garden is taken than necessary.

I have come across quite a few city villa floor plans that are exactly square. Are they all as wrong as I am?

At the beginning of the thread, I heard several times that precisely square rooms are easier to furnish than my elongated ones... but things keep changing around here, it goes just like you say in circles.

You are writing again about things that no one has written, no one has said, and no one expected from you. I don't see any connection between your ramblings and any other post.

A series of rooms is not a feeling. Size also has very little to do with design, at least not in a way that matters here.

I'm out of here because I don't feel that my posts are being read or even understood.

And who sets the 12 x 12 here? Who defines a very poorly furnished square living space?

That’s what I was referring to.

1. Numerous city villas are exactly square.
2. Regarding a room itself, square rooms are actually better than narrow elongated ones. Those were your words, or at least they have their validity.

In the other designs, there are also sequences of rooms. Or not? In kbt09, only the staircase and the utility room/guest room are different from mine. So are we only talking about the left half?
I am currently looking at this design again in detail and will then view it recreated in 3D.

Specifically: do you find the other designs much better? In kbt09, as I said, mostly the entire ground floor arrangement is the same, so just simply lined up? Then at least he and I are two.

The variations that make it impossible for me to set up my hi-fi system including projector according to my ideas, well, logically I wouldn’t implement those.
I consider facets and think about implementing them or I also replicate them.
And then I consider whether it is better for me or not.

@koha, would you add the dimensions again? That would be nice.

, thanks for everything anyway.

Look at my avatar ... I am female.

I tried with my Version 2 to realize the essential factors that you mentioned. However, I resist implementing things that I consider impractical for life. And I simply think it makes sense to think about other approaches.

Among the things I resist are, for example:

[*]Myths like ... looking out the window while washing dishes ... who still washes dishes for hours nowadays

[*]always choosing the long way through the garage into the house and doing it in a slalom, but guests should come through the front door, no, guests who are supposed to go to the party room should enter again through the garage on the second staircase.

[*]If the house is already designed so that it could later be used separated into 2 levels (even rented out to others), then the rooms to be used differently on the ground floor should also have appropriate dimensions. Therefore, on the one hand, huge utility rooms, huge storage in the garage, etc. but then only plan for 2 to 3 meters of closet space for the future. Here you should, for example, rethink the motto "create storage where it is needed."

[*]slanted walls loosen things up

And again ... in my Version 2, the dining table with chairs is 339 cm and the sofa area is 384 cm deep ... so totally fine.
And, even if rooms in my version are often just as large or in a similar position, then take a closer look at the details.

Yes, and why do acquaintances etc. say the floor plan is good? Not every acquaintance is a passionate hobby architect like some here in the forum area. They take a look and say yes, that’s true. None of us are people who want, have to, or must get along with you for the next 20 years, so one simply uses a more open word. That is also the chance of such forums, no one is obliged or feels obliged to just tell you what you want to hear.

And, the architect friend, did she plan as a favor or did you pay her according to the fee schedule? If it was a friendly favor and your strict list of demands, then as a service provider I would rather respond neutrally with "pretty good" or insist on a proper contract.

I will now only address point 2: that is not true! It was only said by some here that your hoses are difficult to furnish. You are reading completely different things than what is being written to you. ... .... That explains a lot!

No one here has written that square rooms are better; on the contrary, with typical sizes of 6x6 m or so, they are actually harder to furnish because corners that always appear superfluous form.

However, there is a difference between having rooms like a guest room in 2.50x5 m instead of 3.5x about 4 m. Because in the latter variant, you can place beds that you can also walk past.
