Floor plan single-family house city villa approx. 240m² without basement

When I look at the floor plans without flipping back: is there a reason for the basic dimensions? I would make the house about 50cm wider and shorten it by about 100cm in length, then a lot would ease up, e.g. cramped hallway situations (also doors) on the upper floor or the master bedroom. Otherwise, probably repeating myself from back then, just too dark, the main room.

I find the door situation of the bedroom wing with the master bathroom impractical. It can happen that you want to go to bed and run into the bathroom door... I don't have a solution yet either...

Thank you very much for the feedback, yes we also considered that. Possibly to open the bathroom door inward, should still work with the toilet.

I have definitely marked the castle walls with a question mark before, and I also assume my views on the topic "senior bedroom" are known. Pantry, fitness, and utility room seem to me like "floor plan remnants into which room names have been written," and overall I see more of a patch than a relaunch here, so a more or less desperate circling around the original design :-(

Thank you very much for your feedback, by "castle walls" do you mean the 50s bricks?

Regarding the senior bedroom: we are planning the house for ourselves now and the next 20/30 years, we do not have to "die" in the house, to put it bluntly

Yes, we also only wanted to optimize and not do a complete relaunch because we like a lot. Both pantry and utility room we find absolutely okay in terms of size, office/fitness will be more office and then the ergometer...

the plot is a rectangle of about 29x40.5, wider would certainly still be possible and also a consideration.

about the main room: ok thanks for your assessment, the lift-and-slide door will probably still "grow" to about 400cm but that's it then. We are already optimistic that, also because of the room height, it is not dark

Yes, by the castle walls I mean the half-meter bricks.

I did not criticize the size. What client and draftsman come up with together is often no less messy than the pranks of Max and Moritz. Leaving the "what we like" untouched during revisions is the core of many, I might say, "untapped potential." I also cannot guarantee you with four decades of home planning experience that you will be happy with your own planning – but I can assure you that a fresh architect’s planning with a high accuracy rate is definitely the better way :)

…that would be easily resolved if you omit the slanted wall and start the bedroom a bit earlier at the staircase.

Well… when I, as an architect, notice that I have to resort to slanted walls as is done in narrow terraced houses where no more space can be created, then I would rather optimize the dimensions right away and not present something like that to the client at all.

the lift-and-slide door will probably still "grow" to about 400cm

it can also grow to 6 meters, the overhang reduces more than 50% of the light yield, and I do not consider that sufficient at all.
