First of all, thanks a lot for your input. Finally someone who focuses more on the floor plan.

All 3 important rooms upstairs have a view to the "viewpoints." Our downstairs neighbor is somewhat lower but still quite tall with his roof. Towards the east, there's also a very nice horse meadow. So the bedroom and both children’s rooms have a view. In the southwest stands the very elevated and very blue house of the neighbor, who could easily look in there. That’s why we don’t want living rooms there. In addition, the sun comes from that direction and casts shadows there during the day. The stairs upstairs currently don’t have a window at all. I also find that wasted. I don’t spend time in the hallway. As you rightly pointed out, we have to economize on square meters upstairs...



Actually, the kitchen can’t do more than without a bay window now (it’s possibly even more restricted), but I saw that in a Weber show home and immediately fell in love with it. If we now request quotes and it’s far over our budget, I’ll skip the bay window. But first, I’d like to plan it that way.
This huge living room is intentional. However, for coziness we decided on rotated stairs. Right now, when you come up the stairs, you walk towards the dining table. Because I wanted to prevent sitting on the couch with someone behind your back. Consequently, the dining table is somewhat squeezed... It’s not 100% optimal, but I haven’t had a better idea so far.
Regarding the child’s window facing the street, I totally agree with you, I first replaced it with one with a railing in my modification.



That is partly due to the structure of the granny flat (there it would be the division living/sleeping area) and partly because my husband trains while being creative and direct access is practical there.

If you don’t place the stairs centrally, you get problems fitting all the rooms without creating huge hallways.

That would go into the office on the ground floor. It's the same layout as the children's room above.

You're not wrong there, but I would like to hear some completely different idea on how the property should be used otherwise, since apparently there is a lot of criticism about it. Besides, there is a reason why the previous owner's shell convinced us, because it simply fits our spatial concept in terms of space requirements.

I overlooked your message.
The staircase only has a spiral in the basement because I didn’t want to bump into the back of the sofa or wanted a bit more peace when I’m sitting on the couch and someone comes in. So you basically walk towards the table. But I am still considering what is better in this respect.
The staircase to the upper floor is straight.

Thanks for the tip about the washbasin. I am also not satisfied yet with the layout in the parents’ bathroom.

The strange stub in the basement office was specified by the architect. She said it might be necessary because of the statics (but it was still open, so maybe it can still be removed. We will have to see). Well, such a dark basement shaft doesn’t bring much light either way. I’d rather have well-lit artificial light. Especially since in this case it would be under a covered east terrace... But we probably won’t get away without the window. I think they are mandatory if it is supposed to count as a separate apartment.


That’s why I’m here.

What’s this nonsense about the granny flat? Who wants to live in such a basement hole? Always these little tricks. The staircase definitely needs to be drawn as a section. Necessary heights could be undershot there... and, as said, it is somehow drawn slightly offset on each floor. New planning and office on the side where windows with a sill height of 85 cm can be installed, and a storage room in the area without windows. And a cloakroom doesn’t necessarily need a window either.

For that, you would first have to provide the entire property with elevation data.
