Please build your house as you like, after all, it is your house. But please do not ask for opinions and then over-discuss everything...

The time with small children can sometimes be longer than with big ones The time with small children is harder to manage than with big ones

Anyone who can no longer get into the bathtub because of back pain will also no longer climb the stairs.

Don’t think only about now

So I find the bathtub indispensable with my children. I myself haven’t bathed in ages, that’s true... but only the children! My five-year-old coughs if I come with the shower... Shower is for when the kids can do it themselves but I’m still waiting for that with the 10-year-old. There’s enough space, can you provide something so that a bathtub can be easily "retrofitted"? In case it ever comes to the realization that it would be nice to have?

Hm... a bit resistant to advice. The orientation might really be okay in summer, but in winter, as already explained by a previous poster, it is rather dark for most of the day. I also consider the approach of planning a house first and then looking for a plot to be completely wrong. But well, you do it anyway as you see fit. In my opinion, too big a house with little practical use and a wrong location on the plot.

You can tell the missing years – sorry if I put it that way.

I have always been interested in architecture, always wanted to build a house, and in countless boring meetings I kept designing my current dream house (and over the course of a career there is plenty of potential for various designs...) – so I know the development one goes through. And you’re just very much at the beginning. You still have dreams – and reality hasn’t quite hit you yet. And you can tell by this plan. It would probably look pretty chic as a model home with that sprawling master suite – but in real life, please listen to people who have the life experience that you lack (which is not a bad thing, everyone was the same at that age here).

I, and obviously I’m not alone, get the impression that all advice and tips simply fall on deaf ears here.
You don’t want a bathtub – but children. Listen to parents who say to you: that’s a contradiction.
A huge house – even if you can afford it, it could also be smaller. You don’t have to, but then use the additional space sensibly and not just waste square meters because you happen to have them.
The thing with cleaning supplies – what nonsense to insist on having ALL cleaning supplies in just one place. We also have a cleaning supplies cupboard in the hallway, but honestly: I have cleaners that I ONLY need in the bathroom and then they stay there. I’m not carrying that stuff up and down every week! I’ll have toilet cleaner upstairs and downstairs – you can also make life difficult on purpose.
The thing with the laundry – back to the wasted square meters: man, make yourself a small utility room upstairs for the laundry! What a joy when the kid gets midnight diarrhea and soils themselves completely as well as the bedding. Yeah, good luck cleaning the little, screaming worm, completely taking apart the bed, and either schlepping the aforementioned screaming worm plus all the dirty stuff to the basement or leaving him screaming and alone upstairs (where exactly? The bed is stripped…) and schlepping the mess to the washing machine downstairs.
But you should have enough imagination in your early twenties to defuse such scenarios by clever planning if possible. Maybe it’s not possible if I have to fit my room program into just under 110 sqm – but for you that wouldn’t be an issue at all. A little less ballroom as a dressing room (I have been wondering all along what else you want to do in such a dressing room – swinger party?) and you have a comfortable utility room upstairs.

But apparently, that’s how you want it. Then do it. But don’t ask for tips if the decision is already made. So many have given you such diverse and sensible tips – nothing gets through. That’s discouraging...

Hm... I saved some comments yesterday, but then decided against it. Still itching to comment. Reasons were given a few times. I just came back from dinner with some colleagues... 2 of them are so annoyed that in the evening they have to put their clothes ready for the morning in the bathroom so that the husband can still sleep in before and after work - and then it doesn’t match the weather... by now they put out two different outfits... that you take from real life (without children) Your parents also managed without a dressing room, moreover with less square meters... But then a sauna? To me, everything here seems too much like a pretentious and glossy project without connection to real life. Even this “mom story with the cleaning supplies... no one here is saying that you have to set up cleaning cupboards like at home in every area. It seems to me as if you compare everything to your parental home, always to position your design. Sometimes you don’t want to be like your parents/mom, sometimes you argue referring to your childhood. May I ask if there was a time when you lived alone? Otherwise: build your house/your house, but don’t be surprised afterward if it doesn’t fit. Luckily, you can build walls afterwards anywhere. The fireplace room will become the ironing or storage room. But don’t come up with new designs here, let nice people discuss them, only to talk everything down.
