--> Regarding the bathroom: Well, you can’t have everything... Even if there was a shower on the ground floor, I wouldn’t want to shower or go through my morning routine there. Why would you go downstairs to get ready etc. if all the bedrooms are upstairs? So the shower would actually only be used by guests. We are indeed not planning for overnight guests. If a guest stays with us, they are welcome to use the upstairs bathroom for a shower. The question is, what does "1 bathroom no longer appropriate?" mean --> there is a bathroom, just no shower.

--> Regarding the kitchen: We have a floor-to-ceiling window with an exit/access right next to the kitchen. For that, I have to walk 3 meters instead of 1 step...

--> I don’t think the idea with the TV wall is bad at all - it’s definitely worth considering.

--> The study will not really be used initially - maybe later. However, I consider one window completely sufficient for a 10m² room. I can then place a "desk" or whatever in front of it.

Because a child has locked themselves in to have peace? Or even to be able to get ready in peace away from the children? There are plenty of reasons to have to move away, even if it’s the teenager who wants to put on makeup for an hour or shower endlessly after the disco at night ;)

But then we’re back to the topic of comfort, or rather what you really need and what you don’t?

80% of humanity certainly doesn’t have this option and it still works? Showering takes 5-10 minutes – so you can surely wait sometimes. If someone takes an hour to get ready, then you just have to wait or tell the young lady to get ready in the guest bathroom (which is possible). That’s just a luxury problem, which will probably annoy me now and then – but it’s not worth the space or the cost to me.

I know it from home:

We had 3 shower bathrooms – the downstairs bathroom was NEVER used – the other bathroom was occasionally used by my brother. But we were used to always going to the small 6m² bathroom of our parents on the ground floor. Why, I don’t know? However, no one ever had any problem with it.

Somehow I get the impression that one should/must be prepared for every eventuality. It’s suggested that in certain areas there is only one opinion, or everything else would be “wrong.” I strongly doubt that. There are certainly many builders who make the same decision as we did and have never had any problems with it. It also always depends on the living situation and the family itself.

Everyone who has installed a guest bathroom with a shower will always say: “Oh thank God we did it; it’s hardly used, but we are really glad to have one.” Everyone who hasn’t installed a guest bathroom with a shower will always say: “Oh, we haven’t missed it so far; sometimes it would have been nice, but we have managed well so far.”

It’s always the same :)

Your considerations are correct. I can just imagine that, for example, a babysitter might still appreciate having a separate shower. Or later, the children’s overnight guests. But basically, I agree with you. It probably only makes sense if you set up a sofa bed in the living room. For me, the bathroom is so private that I wouldn’t want anyone there except my husband. (I don’t have children.) Maybe you’ll come home once "totally filthy from gardening" and be glad not to have to go upstairs first. I repeat, basically you are right and I can well understand your line of thought. I just wanted to bring another point of view into play.

Absolutely! You are right about everything you say, please don’t misunderstand me :)

But thankfully we have moved away from this contingency planning: "What if someone ... and then ..."

It is certainly nice to have that, and I would probably use the shower a few times a year – but as I said, you can’t have everything. We give up other things and indulge in quite different things because those are more important to us.

That’s why building a house is always an individual project.

I am still grateful for your opinion!

I find this remark absolutely beautiful and it sounds like a wonderful, loving family. I am happy for you because you will certainly pass this on to your future family. In my family, separatism was more the order of the day and accordingly, my remarks are. Please do not let this impress you.
