Thank you very much for the feedback. It is helpfully critical (which is good, because that’s exactly what I asked for :)) and constructive. The plan is merely a "first wish" from laypeople (us) who tried to visually represent the picture in their heads. I have one more question....
Do you really find the staircase in the middle so unusual? The goal was to keep everything somehow open and yet create a certain separation (living room - dining room - kitchen). The basic idea behind the staircase is that family members "meet". So not just right at the front door and then immediately upstairs to the room. Also, we like a straight staircase much better than a "U" or "L".
And one more question... Are there really that many "traffic routes"? Okay, from the wardrobe to the kitchen and in front of the staircase entrance... but otherwise?
Before we "tried" the first plan, we made a list of what we would like: - A separate room for washing clothes, hanging them up, ... (i.e. utility room) - a straight staircase - a separate pantry near the kitchen - living room - dining room - kitchen somewhat separated but still somewhat open (so no separate rooms, but so that if I have a poker night in the dining room, the lady can sit "unobserved" in the living room) - a reasonably large wardrobe (here you have to know that there is no wall at the wardrobe - the window belongs to the upper floor) - space for a large dining table (for at least 8 people) - NO basement - ...
Are these wishes so unusual? Is it really that costly to implement the idea more or less like this (yes, costs naturally play an important role :))
P.S.: The hallway between the staircase and pantry is currently about 1.50 m wide. Too narrow?) - The chest of drawers is placed obligatorily once :)
