Floor plan single-family house in Rhineland-Palatinate

Wouldn't the whole thing look more spacious if the pantry moves between the bathroom and kitchen instead of between the kitchen and hallway?

But then it wouldn't be accessible from the hallway anymore? Basically, I see it that way too.

By rotating the stairs and using the space for an extended wardrobe, the entrance area is not overloaded.

Is the 80cm space under the hallway window still needed in this case? Otherwise, I would immediately make the window floor-to-ceiling at that spot. As much light as possible. Especially because:

There will definitely be NO glass door (my wife's decision)

That's a real pity in the configuration with the long hallway. No frosted glass either? A light source at the end of the hallway would be appropriate in my opinion.

Definitely.

Floor-to-ceiling, I agree. Nevertheless, with the north window, it will be dark after 3 meters into the room. You will always have to rely on artificial light there. The room is too long for that.

That is very unfortunate with the layout including a long hallway. Also no frosted glass? A light spot at the end of the hallway would be appropriate in my opinion.

I don't see a door there either, but something fixed and transparent.

I'm a bit confused about the architect's status... he even has the same furniture groups as in my ancient program... is he not continuously self-employed?

That's a point I'll take up: Through a fixed glass element (instead of a wall section) between the living/dining room and the hallway, a lot of "western light" could come in. I have to discuss that.

No architect has drawn that so far... that is yet to come. The furniture groups are junk and not usable. They only help, for example, to recognize a bed length. As I said, the furnishing can be forgotten: it will be completely different.

Regarding the topic "not usable as a guideline offer": I do not share that opinion at all. It's also not about fixing a price. After all, I have received statements like "15 months price guarantee" and so on. Once again: it's about choosing the construction partner! And I don't want and cannot postpone that forever - the order books are overflowing. The earlier you push yourself as a customer into the planning of the construction companies, the sooner they are able to plan you as a customer. And comparisons can definitely be made, hence my term "guideline offer." I am quite familiar with price developments (even by trade) - but that hardly prevents a provider from showing the currently valid prices.

From the provider's point of view, that might be effort - from the client’s perspective, it's actually a completely normal process for selecting the construction partner. When I sometimes see how people rush everything through in a short time and then discuss delays, I find our approach appropriate: especially since I will certainly sign a contract with the partner early on - also including the insertion of a price clause (which simply must be clear in application for both sides). For a construction start in 2021, in my opinion, the contract must be finalized in 2020. After all, we already have 2019. And it’s still a long way to the signed contract - after the pre-selection I want to do a preliminary sampling: only after that can you see in which price range you land (due to your own demands).
And the good thing about that: you might still be able to bring things forward by a few months..... That would be something different than always only delays :)

No architect has drawn this yet.... That is still to come. The furniture groups are junk and unusable. They only help, for example, to recognize a bed length. As I said, the furnishing can be forgotten: It will be completely different.

That’s what I wanted to get at... you can see that no professional was involved, there are too many planning errors. I don’t want to be presumptuous, I’m not a professional either, but after 30 years of passion in floor plans, you often recognize when something comes from an amateur. Here I would also say that the sharp corners result from the fact that one wants to implement this or that “seen” element at all costs, but lacks the sensitivity to interpret it differently in the design. Here the ossified idea of a food sluice and the insistence on it could already be the reason that all life is very isolated and a proper entrance into the kitchen / the open living area is missing.

I'm not an expert either,

Really? I would have guessed that from your posts :-)

It feels like the entrance belongs where the office is, right?
