Floor plan: who has the master bedroom on the ground floor?

thanks for the input! yes, a double garage is a must for us. Attached is the development plan - location of our property as well as further information were already in post #7. [ATTACH alt="grundrissplanung-wer-hat-das-elternschlafzimmer-im-erdgeschoss-687994-1.png"]91418[/ATTACH]

fundamentally, many thanks for the feedback.

I am glad if it can still have an effect in time.

What I don’t like so much is that things are criticized or nullified here in an almost insulting manner,

Neither nor, merely warning hints without kid gloves.

You have correctly recognized that a basement is a luxury, however, this did not arise from a planning error of the architect, but was a fixed requirement from us. We want laundry room, storage rooms, technology in the basement and do not want to use ground floor or upper floor space for that. There is also no height difference: the entire building plot will be leveled to the north boundary with the help of a retaining wall in the south and thus will be even.

Even a planning error made on demand remains one. I thank you for the hint to a gap in my series of posts about the 11ant basement rule: until now it only deals with the economic disservice of the strategy "terrain modeling instead of basement" – the variant "basement plus terrain modeling" is another dimension of cringe. Congratulations on the budget if one can afford this double luxury.

What you must please explain to me: why does the upper floor have priority in your view when it comes to planning? For us, it contains "only" an office, 2 possible children’s rooms as well as a bathroom, spread over more than enough space. We therefore consider the living area and the private rooms on the ground floor as clearly more important for us.

This has nothing to do with heartfelt attachment to the floors, but simply with the gravity of the walls and wastewater on the one hand and the insight into the easier derivation of the less complex from the more complex on the other. From both results the urgent recommendation of the order of procedure "room program > qualification of the room program > distribution of the room program on the floors > graphical formulation of the more complex floor > derivation of the less complex floor from the more complex one." Traditionally, the upper floor is the master and the ground floor the slave level. On a slope with the inversion "living upstairs, sleeping downstairs", the basement is more complex, while gravity-wise the uphill floor dominates. Here the priority of the upper floor accordingly deviates.

Thank you, unfortunately it is very blurry on the phone. That is not your problem. However, I will withdraw from this discussion now. Because only this counts:

after many planning rounds, we have now ended up with this design draft together with our architect, which we quite like.

For you, it is the optimum; for me, the draft is now flawed in several places, as I said. I do not see a final draft here, but beginnings with mistakes that should be planned away. If for you no Plan B for the D-garage is allowed, then I would at least set other directions, e.g., when I read that there is farmland and fields to the east, then I would orient the garden and dormers to the east. Possibly or very likely also rotate the roof so that one has other, potentially better options. I would also plan the attic much smaller, if necessary, with a 27 cm roof choose a smaller KS or cut inwards. What is important is that you like it. I then do not have to put any brainpower into it.

Somehow the design over 3 floors doesn’t quite fit with a possible physical impairment.

The whole design is only suffering because the ground floor is overloaded with 2 bathrooms, bedroom, and dressing room, while there is possible "vacancy" on all other floors. The bed on the ground floor might be useful in case of emergency, but what use is a hobby room/office on the upper floor if you can’t use the rooms.

Why not already plan a possible lift through all floors in or on the house and instead choose a wheelchair-accessible "standard floor plan."

Here is a variant from the internet. Seating area instead of window seat. Technical room becomes a dressing room. Attic has a knee wall height of 1.4 m. Even with an open space above the living room.



Attic

I still wanted to add the attic, unfortunately too slow.
