Floor plan single-family house gable roof 1 full story 140 sqm

What about the kitchen now? An open kitchen would be something like this, for example:





Here you can also see the staircase, with approximately correct measurements. Accordingly, the depth of the living room decreases, whereby 4.40m is more than okay.

I can’t decipher the numbers of the staircase on your draft, I would really be interested in them.

In my opinion, the entrance is too narrow – the cloakroom would only fit under the stairs or in the hallway, where everyone would trip over the shoes. If the entrance is to remain there including the straight staircase, I would add a bay window / vestibule at the front. This expands the entrance area, eases the staircase situation, and ideally creates a cloakroom space for shoes. It also potentially highlights the beautiful front garden that the homeowner wishes for.

A vestibule is difficult to realize since it’s not a townhouse. But I understand what you’re getting at.

I read open kitchen and kitchen island but see 2 conservatively closed kitchens? What now?
An island only works where there is enough space for it. 2m width and 80cm depth are roughly the dimensions needed, in my opinion. A bump like in option 1 wouldn’t be my thing, well, and option 2 saves on the furnishing anyway because it would be difficult.

We are still somewhat split on this, on the one hand we find the look of an open living/kitchen area appealing, on the other hand, negative aspects like cooking smells or mess after a big cooking session keep popping up. One might want that less in the living room.
That’s why in our ideas we experimented with sliding doors or at least slightly recessed walls that at least partially separate the living area from the kitchen. So to speak, semi-open.

West-facing windows are a must, even if the neighbor regularly dances naked in the garden there. Light also finds its way around corners. It’s not just about the view but mainly about getting light in. A terraced house feeling is not desirable.

In the original draft of the first floor plan variant, everything was mirrored and arranged as many of you request here, with the dining and living areas facing west.
I have attached it again below.

But that really gives me a stomach ache imagining how to fit 2 cars in front of or next to the house. That’s why we also had it mirrored back. The driveway is also on the west side.

The front entrance hall is difficult to implement, as it is not a townhouse.

What kind of theory is that?
You forgot the stair dimensions.

The upper floor is almost identical to our variant from the 2nd floor plan. I actually like the lower floor. All points of criticism are taken into account here, stairs, cloakroom, west window. Only in this case the kitchen is really too open for me, I definitely don’t want to be able to look from the living area into the kitchen area. There has to be a certain angle.

At least in the 2nd floor plan the stairs are described as 15x18.7/25, maybe someone can make something out of that.

I assumed you meant an extended entrance area like is common in many city villas. With our version, that will be difficult or at least I can't imagine it.

The upper floor is almost the same as our version from the 2nd floor plan.

Yes, I didn’t want to do anything majorly new now, just wanted to show you the open kitchen.

Only, in this case, the kitchen is really too open for me, I absolutely don’t want to be able to look from the living area into the kitchen area. There must be a certain angle.

There is an angle though. I get the feeling that you tend more toward a closed kitchen, you just aren’t quite familiar with the term. Open kitchen means it is fully integrated into the living area – whether around the corner or not. If you put a double door in between, it’s rather closed – of course – an extra room with a door.

At least in the 2nd floor plan the stairs are described as 15x18.7/25, maybe someone can make sense of that.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Great – thanks. The dimensions mean: 15 risers (=steps) with 18.7 cm riser height and 25 cm tread width. However, that doesn’t quite match the height data from your section – possibly the second provider has different heights in the construction description – you have to watch out for things like that. If I take the data now: 15 risers at 2.95 m floor height would be a riser height of 19.67 cm. Oof! Nobody does that today. Way too steep. For that floor height you would go for 16 steps with 18.44 cm riser height. And the ladder (staircase) becomes longer again.

I assumed you meant such a protruding entrance area as practiced in many city villas. With our version that will be difficult or at least I can’t imagine it.

It’s nothing utopian now. Whether you like it is a matter of taste. You can look at it in 3D anyway. I don’t find anything ugly about it.
