What you criticize, the too small, chopped-up bedroom, is indeed fixable if you think Danish-style and access the so-called children's room from the living room and then don't need the hallway at the back at all. For a home office that is not intended for receiving clients, that's completely fine; for a children's room with a real child, however, it might be too noisy. Well, a baby might still be okay, but then... the room has to move upstairs. That's generally the disadvantage of living on one level: you're close together and hear each other a lot. On the other hand, an apartment is like that anyway. Imitating my floor plan wouldn't be an issue in terms of space; they have enough land. He would only postpone the attic conversion. But that wasn't the reason to show it. It is an example of a usable but not space-consuming staircase. A straight staircase really takes up space and requires long, wide corridors. karsten
