Floor plan - Your opinions wanted!

Hi guys,

we have a floor plan of our house here. We have some problems with the bathroom on the upper floor: we want to have the famous T integrated in the bathroom, but due to the L-shaped room layout of the bathroom, it seems difficult to impossible to integrate such a design.

Also, on the ground floor, the garage is to be built onto the house wall, which would mainly cover the window of the small bathroom (the covered window in the living room area would not be a problem; then it simply won't exist).

Do you have any ideas on how the layout could be improved? We understand that a straight staircase takes up a lot of space, but having a straight staircase is a criterion we really, really want.

I don’t see a T in this bathroom. For that, the room would have to be rectangular. Pulling the garage up to the house wall would mean that the entrance has to be at the top of the plan. Possibly the WC could then swap with the wardrobe. The staircase would probably have to be moved. But those are such fundamental changes that basically the whole floor plan would be worthless. What bothers me much more is this absurd hallway at the bottom. I would kill that first. But it’s not worth thinking about if the architect has to start over anyway.

Everything is so narrow... too narrow. Poor stair layout, poor origin. I see no house entrance except this exterior access at the front. And it leads into a space of nothingness...

Basically, the whole floor plan is then worthless.

Everything is so narrow... too narrow.

Well, good thing I’m not the one who said that.

We want the famous T integrated into the bathroom,

What exactly makes the T so famous that you have to have it? – and: shouldn’t a bathroom fit the house it is in?

we have here a floor plan of our house.

Where does that come from? From the "style" of the floor plans, I would say this could be a gabled roof house. But the upper floor has no sloping ceilings. In the dressing room and the office, you can’t really "move" but rather "slide linearly."

All information is missing from

- site plan
- north arrow
- a few measurements

But as my predecessors, I only see narrowness and window omissions here and there everywhere. And the T simply does not fit into the L ;).

Somewhere there has to be a basement hidden too, right?

I always thought the T in the bathroom was basically a crutch in bathroom design. It never occurred to me as something desirable. It makes the bathroom smaller and darker. Why would anyone want that? And now they're even planning to remodel the house because of it. (which is not really a loss, given the starting point, but:) Absurd!
