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

I was not aware that the correct placement of the furniture is important, otherwise I would have done it differently. I

I am sincerely sorry that on the plans I posted so much regarding the furniture is drawn differently than planned and that I have therefore really, as some have already pointed out, "stolen" your time and energy.

So, now I really have to let my comment go. Much of what I see the same way has already been said - so I won’t repeat it. The long way from the kitchen to the dining table or out to the terrace – well, we’ve had that before, that someone planned their fitness studio into the house. If that’s what you want, go for it. In times of Corona when you can’t go to the gym anymore, that’s definitely an option. Personally, I wouldn’t feel like having to make a little world tour for every glass of wine in the evening, whether I’m sitting in the living room or on the terrace. Even for a cheese sandwich, that would be too silly for me. But as I said: everyone has to decide that for themselves. The layout of the bathroom can not only be optimized but should be. And that BEFORE starting construction, because the pipes have to be designed accordingly. Otherwise, I find having a sauna in the bathroom great, we have that too. I wouldn’t worry about loungers, next door is the bedroom where you can comfortably lie down. I would indulge in a sauna with a view outside, as the view there is supposed to be very beautiful. I can also fully understand that you don’t want guests in the personal area upstairs. BUT – now the really BIG BUT: where should the guests go? After all, 10 overnight guests a year. That’s almost once a month. And then the guests should sleep on the sofa bed in the living room? You can’t be serious??? I wouldn’t want to do that to myself or the guests. Sure, in a small apartment you hardly have another option – but in a house with more than 150sqm? As a host, I wouldn’t want to have to set up the bed in the living room every day when guests stay over and then put it away again early in the morning. And the guest doesn’t have a small personal space where they can hang their pants or pajamas over a chair. No, everything has to be put away because no one wants to display their underwear or pajamas in the living room. THAT CAN’T BE SERIOUS, RIGHT? In standard houses, this is solved by an office on the ground floor: an office on all days, guest room when there are visitors. You don’t need an office anymore, so you should find another solution; but without a guest room, it really doesn’t work with that much visiting. The dismal wardrobe situation has already been mentioned as well as the fact that the husband likes to watch TV but the wife rather doesn’t. Honestly: these are statements the architect needs. In this case, my first thought would be: either carve out a wardrobe room with a closet for all coats, jackets, hats, scarves where you can take off your things when you come in, possibly also a closet with cleaning equipment big enough to fit a guest bed. Or I carve out a corner of the large living room which normally would either be a TV room for the TV-loving husband with a comfortable couch that also contains a (good!) bed or the carved out room becomes a cozy reading, craft or some other corner for the wife who isn’t so into TV, also with that mentioned good sofa bed. The room separated by a large folding or sliding door – normally open, but when guests come, I can offer my guest an intimate space there. Or I close the door when the husband’s TV program annoys me – also not bad! In both cases, however, I grant my guest a minimum of private space and as a host the freedom not to have to constantly set up and pack away the bed. What makes more sense for you, either the TV corner or the reading room, you can decide. Or whether the solution with the guest/wardrobe room appeals more to you (when guests come, you really have to use the hooks in the too-small entrance area), no matter, but somewhere a corner for the apparently frequent guests definitely still has to be created here!

I wish you good luck and strong arguments. §14 SächsStrG (3) Without prejudice to other public law provisions, owners and possessors of properties adjoining a public road (road frontagers) are allowed to use the parts of the road adjacent to their properties beyond common use, insofar as this use is necessary for the reasonable use of the property and does not permanently exclude or significantly impair common use and does not interfere with the road structure. An access road already goes beyond common use, but is necessary for the reasonable use of the property. A second access road is not necessary. Furthermore, it could destroy a public parking lot, thus permanently excluding common use there.
