Hello Forum,
I bought a house from a developer that is currently in the shell construction stage. Windows and roof are sealed, but the interior finishing has not yet started. I have no influence on the property (mid-terrace house) and the orientation as well as the materials of the building. Only with the interior finishing can I still choose a little (sample - the autocorrect wants to write "encourage" ). That’s why I didn’t fill out the questionnaire. Most things are not under my control.
I would like to share some thoughts about the floor plan. I have been going back and forth for some time regarding the room layout on the ground floor: where should the kitchen be, where the living room? And what about the "middle part" where the architect planned the kitchen?
Upstairs I am not sure if I want to keep the huge bedroom like that. Probably not.
The house is intended for me with my practice (1 consultation room, 1 waiting chair in the hallway) and later possibly (nothing is decided yet) with a co-houser. So, living together like students, just a bit more sensible.
The sliding door to the garden opens from left to right. Unfortunately, this will be my "main entrance" because the bike shed is in the garden. The bike is my main means of transportation. I need it daily.
The upper part of the ground floor plan is too big for a living room for me. I’m alone and don’t have a big sofa (1 two-seater, 1 cocktail chair, 1 leather armchair, 1 coffee table 50x50). Additionally, I play guitar and would like to have a permanent guitar seat with a music stand and some daylight.
About the kitchen: I cook a lot and like it. At the moment, I have a 2-liner with a dishwasher island. It’s great. But if I plan that in the upper part of the plan, everything is full. Then relaxed sitting is only possible in the lower part of the plan with little light. Or I leave the kitchen as the architect intended, in the middle part. Then I suddenly have plenty of space.
On the plan, the top is east, the bottom is west.
Does anyone have an idea for the layout of the floor plan? Thanks in advance!
I also found a draft: kitchen upper part (outlined in red), living room lower part (blue) with furniture (grey) and guitar place (yellow)
