Floor plans single-family house and garage

- How much space do you have in the office behind the door? It looks to me like no cabinet would fit there.

-- There are still 50 cm to the door. Since a filing cabinet usually measures 40-45 cm, this is sufficient.

- I would remove the storage room in the kitchen; the kitchen can be furnished much better without it. I dare say that you can fit less in this small storage room than if you fully equip the upper kitchen wall with tall cabinets ;)
--That with the kitchen, well, that's a thing with my wife... She needs it... so she should have it... :D (this is not the original kitchen plan from the kitchen builder)

- What do you hope to achieve with the bay window? I understand the wish for a bit of segmentation/structure in the living/dining area, but the 50 cm deep "food nipple" doesn't really fulfill that. Don't take it badly, but for me, it's neither fish nor fowl.

---Because it has a "relaxing" effect for us.

- Why such a large window in the WC?

--Good question, we will probably reconsider that.

- I would probably swap the entrance and the WC; the paths are unnecessarily long with the current layout. If I look at the route from the garage to the kitchen, I would be annoyed every time having to walk that far with the shopping basket.

-Thanks for the hint... sounds logical to me.

Upper floor:

- How is the dressing room supposed to work? The only place for a proper wardrobe is blocked by the window. Moreover, the window is positioned so that no cabinet fits on the upper wall either.

-The dressing room was copied from friends (our knee wall height is 1.50 m). The wardrobes will be custom-made by a carpenter (with a countertop for folding laundry).

- I don't like the access area to the 2 children's rooms. I would straighten the wall in a line with the wall between child 2 and the parents, and remove the 45° angle.

--Straight walls like the 45° angle, we find TOP!

- Is the master bedroom really supposed to be furnished like that? It is possible, but I believe it will be quite cramped due to the large circulation areas that are inevitably needed.

I can't judge whether the view through the large window justifies it.

--No the bedroom is not to be furnished like that; this was set by the architect.

Also nice to have full sunlight in summer when you're supposed to fall asleep (and school kids also have to go to bed on time in summer).

No, I stick to it, I think the room layout is rubbish.

First the north is rubbish (dark crypt?!?! now it's the west, and now there's too much sun??!?! :D

would you please still fill out the questionnaire?

West ;)



Well, actually I didn't want to write anything before I knew the key data. But I always admire the illusion of enjoying a panoramic window and the view from bed. Unfortunately, we are different and enjoy the evening or Sunday morning TV program :(



But honestly: such a large window facing south is no fun in a bedroom! That is poor planning, although of course it is supposed to feel like a great nice-to-have. But it is not living- or sleep-friendly. Neither the size nor the lack of a window sill!

- The furnishing was placed by the architect without our knowledge... and it will definitely not be adopted like that later ;)
- In our opinion, it would not look particularly good if only a "normal" 150 cm wide window were installed there.

would you please still fill out the questionnaire?

But of course;)
