Floor plan - Your opinions, ideas, and suggestions

So north is down in the plan?

North is the garage side. House entrance to the east.

That's why I would also cancel the door to the garage.

As far as I know, this door cannot be removed because it has to be a fire door? Or there also has to be some kind of burglary protection, right?
The utility room is small, that's true, but we simply lack space downstairs to make it bigger, as we already want to have a shower downstairs.
The kitchen is supposed to come in an L-shape. I think there is not enough space for an island, or otherwise it will become very tight!

147sqm for the plot? ...

Sorry, the plot is 742 sqm. Living area 142 sqm, footprint 155 sqm

Center the window in the office for optical reasons

Good idea! I'll write that down.

I will have the window dimensions upstairs given to me again. I believe we have a larger one in children's room 1 because there is only 1 window. In the other two bedrooms two smaller windows are planned respectively.

In the bathroom I would put the sinks at the window while the toilet can be placed under the slope at the 2-meter line again.

The question is where the bathtub should go then.


Does anyone still have layout ideas for the bathroom upstairs? I have also considered swapping shower and bathtub but the shower under the slope is also not so perfect.

For further illustration, here is the exact orientation of the property on a north-oriented plan. This is an urban development design. However, it roughly fits our idea of how the house should be positioned on the property. Only 2m of space should be left between the neighbor to the north and the garage.



Here is the scanned site plan (not nice but functional)

Paint <> paint.
Paint=Omit and that should be allowed without any problems. In any case, it increases the capacity of the utility room. Have the technology precisely drawn in there. With your garage door, there will then be exactly ZERO storage space for anything else, I suspect. The room is barely 160 cm wide.

I would leave out the separation between the kitchen and the living room, then you can also consider an island solution, otherwise there is too little space. If island solution, then think about it in time, that is important to possibly lay the connections. If you combine living/dining and kitchen, then you can save a door; remove the one to the kitchen and move the one to the living room slightly more towards the kitchen, then it fits. Why do you have the specified length for the kitchen unit? The offset is really annoying. I would definitely straighten this corner; either pinch off a few centimeters from the living space or reduce the utility room by these centimeters. I don't know if that would still fit with the door though. If an existing kitchen is supposed to fit in: a lot can be done, if necessary I would plan a cladding or use the few extra centimeters for a towel dryer or something like that. Under no circumstances would I leave this offset. With the sliding door you are definitely wasting a lot of space. I would leave it out in any case. And the reason that you don't want cooking smells in the living area: you always have them, even with a closed door. Ventilating afterwards helps and you can't get around that, with or without a door (how that is with a ventilation system, I don't know, but even then it probably wouldn't make a difference between "with door" and "without door"). I am a confirmed fan of "from garage into utility room/pantry" but here I have to agree with the predecessors: the door costs too much space. If it were only pantry/storage, then one could talk about it, but as a utility room too small. The toilet can be put under the sloping roof, as already said; move the sink towards the window, then the shower next to it, the bathtub can stay as it is. How high is the knee wall? Possibly, the tub can still be planned somewhat around the corner. Why not attach the garage to the neighboring garage? You are wasting space. And I would make the window on the south side bigger and possibly extend it more to the west (so forward, if I understand that correctly). Then you have a niche where you can sensibly place a sofa. However, the distance to the TV, if it is supposed to be on the opposite wall, is quite big. How have you planned the furnishing? I don't really find any sensible solution there right now.

[*]I don’t think the edge in the hallway between the kitchen and the living room is very successful yet, but that’s because the kitchen has to be 3.80 meters long. )

Hello Hoeffa The 382 cm in the construction plan are raw dimensions. The plaster will still be added. Then 380 cm will be tight. Leave out the edge and install a color-matched panel from the kitchen furniture to the wall. That is common practice. Steven

. Only 2m of space should remain between the neighbor to the north and the garage.

Either you place the garage on the boundary (boundary construction) or 3 meters away from the neighbor. You will not be allowed 2 meters.
