House and floor plan planning - First architect's plan is available

My second edit comes too late, so here is a new post:

with nostalgia, I also wouldn’t choose a straight staircase but at least a 1/4 turn one – it brings more coziness, which is what you want to live with nostalgia.

whether you want to build a house for your (current) needs, or a house that you can reasonably well resell in 10 (!) years and that covers the typical needs of a family today. [...] - for HIS and HERS rooms, I would expect, for example, a large sliding door. The oversized bathroom with a garden view is probably less appreciated by a potential buyer family than an additional storage room or a dressing room, etc. ...

Basically, I do not necessarily see a strict "either-or" between a house individually tailored to a couple in their "best years" and one that can be minimally invasively converted for a subsequent Müllermeier-Schulze family. However, the bathroom with sauna—which by the way is also a planning failure as a single feature—is highly atypical for a replacement villa (especially within the nine-and-a-half-meter class) and, considered on its own, a polarizing feature when reselling. also has a house that is only conditionally "family suitable," but I do not see any decisive disadvantage in terms of marketability there—in a handful of years, the still niche market of passing on properties within the bestager community will also "take off." However, a sliding door between his and hers rooms would have to be some kind of jack-of-all-trades, because otherwise the TV guy will probably disturb the reading lady acoustically. I would also reject the pass-through, because pot-watchers sneaking up from behind only "scare" an insecure cook even more (and to my recollection, those things have never really won the hearts of the residents). Is an internal forum camping visit looming here?

The bathroom with sauna—which by the way was also planned as a standalone feature—is highly atypical for a one-family villa (especially within the nine-and-a-half-meter class) and, considered on its own, a polarizing factor when reselling.

I have no influence on the design of the upstairs bathroom. My husband wants a sauna. I would prefer a smaller bathroom and a larger bedroom, but I can accept it. It is just a house.

also has a house that is only conditionally "family-friendly," but I do not see that as a decisive disadvantage for resale—within a handful of years, the niche market that still exists today for passing on properties "within the Bestager community" will continue to open up. However, a sliding door between his and her rooms would have to be a true all-rounder, because otherwise the TV-watching him will probably disturb the reading her acoustically.

Correct.

I would also reject a passthrough window, since pot watchers jumping in from behind only make an insecure cook even more "anxious" (and to my recollection, those things never really won the hearts of the inhabitants). Is internal forum camping about to happen here?

I could live well with a passthrough window, I can also close it (a closed door sends a different message). My husband wants an open kitchen. The result was a compromise that is okay for both of us.

Does a 1/4 turn staircase mean more wall? I have relied on the planner/architect on that point. We can certainly still change that if there is enough space.

What you need to quickly realize now is whether you want to build a house for your (current) needs, or a house that you can reasonably well sell again in 10 (!) years and that covers the usual needs of a family today. What you are showing here is neither fish nor fowl. The kitchen meets your needs (not important) but probably not those of a buyer family. The two workrooms correspond to the "classic" children's rooms - for HER and HIS rooms I would expect, for example, a large sliding door. The oversized bathroom with a garden view will probably be appreciated less by a potential buyer family than an additional storage room or a dressing room, etc. ...

You are right. But maybe people with children also like a sauna in the bathroom, especially since it can be removed again and replaced with cabinets, etc. But in the upper bathroom, my husband's wishes are being fulfilled and it is not so important to me.

I think it’s great how you incorporate your ideas into your house project. Building a house is not an everyday thing. Tastes, as said, are different. What’s important is that you feel comfortable in your new house later. I wish you all the best with the house construction.

Thanks. After all considerations, it’s just a house. I can sleep there, shower, look through the window, go into the garden, eat chocolate, read, listen to music ... Currently we live temporarily in a 78 sqm rental apartment and I feel absolutely comfortable. Basically, I am probably more of a rental apartment type, but where else to put the extra money?
