I wouldn’t do that. 60 cm cabinets are definitely worth more. Besides, you can also fit kitchen appliances there. I’d rather reduce the island from 120/110. 90 is also cool. You can clean it quickly from one side
Yes, that’s exactly the question we are asking ourselves. Either keep the wall as is, then we can do 60 cm cabinets and still have enough space around the island, or move the wall in, which would create space for a cabinet in the hallway, but if we then take 60 cm cabinets in the kitchen, we only have 90 for the island and 90 around the island. That could be a bit tight.
That would be fiddly...
Well, we don’t necessarily want to put walls upstairs. That way we keep flexibility and can also realize dressing rooms etc. with drywall. You can do it with one cabinet and yes, it would be a hassle, but it would be a one-time thing and, as I said, just an alternative we want to keep open.
Yes, but usually others don’t quite make it. There will definitely hardly be any more "laundry space" – one or two sinks more or less.
We don’t quite understand why you are so fixated on this laundry space. We’ve been living like this for 8 years without problems and at least at my wife’s parents’ place, the family has lived like this forever. We understand that a drying rack in the bathroom/laundry room is practical, but we don’t even own one.
And what about seasonal clothes? Decoration stuff? Tools, ironing board, etc.? Ok, you still have a storage room upstairs... calculate if it will suffice. The pantry is still there too. But it wouldn’t be enough for ironing board and cleaning supplies either, since a lot of space is already taken by waste paper and glass recycling.
Pantry, stair storage, upstairs storage room, and also the guest room. The third child's room (guest/work) is just an option if a third child comes. If not, we have an additional room where seasonal clothes can be stored.
Unfortunately we don’t know that one. So why can’t the step with the stairs work?
There are several reasons not only related to the building boundary but also the stepped storey. Furthermore, we don’t see any need to move the stairs out, and it would completely ruin the exterior appearance.
How about you post the plot, meaning the site plan here? So far you only show distorted 3D drawings....
Why distorted 3D drawings? The drawings are based on the cadastral maps etc. The plot is 16x28 and the building zone is 3 m from the building boundary. Since the street is about 130-150 cm above ground level, it has to be filled up, which is also shown. But these details don’t really matter for the floor plan.
I guess the 3 m boundary is right next to it. But maybe the stairs could protrude as a subordinate component? But anyway, OP has no interest.
Correct, but since the stairs go up to the upper floor, you can’t consider them a subordinate component. Our architect explained that to us and honestly, I can’t fully recall the details. I only know that the stairs already caused problems regarding the development plan and the stepped storey. And yes, OP has no interest in moving the stairs.
Hopefully nobody takes these examples seriously and then bases the drainage planning on them. The kitchen also has a high priority for the jump to the next round.
I understand what you mean, but this is “just” the draft and even if a kitchen is planned there, it’s only a suggestion from the architect. When the 1:50 plans are done, it has to be final. Of course, bathroom planning also depends on the draft, but there won’t be much change to the walls in the upper floor bathroom (can’t be much). So the bathroom has to fit there and the example shows that it fits. Once we have clarified the rest, we will focus on the bathroom. You can still move the door here and influence the bathroom accordingly. Alternatively, we can take dryer and washing machine upstairs into the bathroom.
“To be guessed” would be the right term. And it looks like filling is being done at street level, and the neighboring plots would need an off-roader for the slope
I have no other plans right now, but I also think it’s not “to be guessed.” You interpreted everything correctly. It needs to be filled and the architect implemented the draft correctly. Of course, the neighbors are lower.
Well, there is something written on the floor plan about a recess at the color change (?)
OK, now I understand what you mean. Looking at the south side (carport), there are windows drawn that are color-connected. These parts should be recessed a few centimeters. In other words, slightly thinner than the rest of the facade, so it visually associates more with the windows and less strongly with the facade.
Even if you rarely sit in that window, it still contributes to the house’s individual character. You can use unusual masonry, after all stones come in several compressive strength classes.
After the comments, we reconsidered and removed it again. We find such window seats very nice and had thought it might fit, but looking at the interior views, it rather looks like a foreign body. Intended but poorly executed. It really didn’t fit the concept. We will probably also raise the parapet height back to 90 cm. The window will then no longer be flush with the table, but that way you have somewhat more privacy in the rooms. We were told repeatedly to reconsider this.
