It works, the house. However, you know some things but also not - you left out many questions from the questionnaire. Isn’t the staircase too short? Sorry, I can’t read the numbers. The wardrobe cabinet is only 40cm deep? Why not 60, to also hang hangers? A shared terrace without privacy would be a no-go for me… no matter how well you get along. I find the bedroom totally uncomfortable. I find the windows partially quite unplanned regarding privacy. Actually also positioned somewhat boringly. You almost don’t need to plan the attic… 3 point something of standing area and then calling it a room is somehow overrated. Which architect plans something like that as a room and also puts expensive dormers in for almost nothing? Yeah, it looks like a school camp… That is not planned at all. Basement window covers on the terrace are basically a no-go. Especially in an architect-designed house. Me too. Where they could be, there are none. Planning sightlines is what distinguishes architect planning from general contractor planning. Sightlines immensely enhance a house and give the rooms and connections character, also the sense of the composition. I would aim for that too given the size, wishes, and construction budget. I would take a step back again… you won’t get the facade harmonious that way through windows or so. A recess, corner, or overbuild would be significantly helpful there.

P.s. As an adult, I would probably use the children's bathroom during the day rather than the master bathroom, which somehow hides in another wing.

Still quite easy now, once the house is built, it's over.

At first glance very spacious. On closer inspection, the rooms are simply large without adding any real value. For example, I would immediately think about the kitchen furnishings. Because as drawn, that surely isn’t your dream kitchen? On the ground floor, it kind of looks like the architect simply scaled up a standard floor plan for a 140 sqm house.

The granny flat has no storage space at all and I don’t see a washing machine there either. Do your parents-in-law walk through your house with a laundry basket to the basement? For a holiday apartment, that would certainly be fine, but if the family really wants to live there for several more years, I wouldn’t find the ratio of your very generous ground floor to the granny flat appropriate. You could probably take away 10-15 sqm from there. And treat them to their own terrace and basement access (possibly also from outside).

The garden view is very nice and something different! I’m also totally in favor of open space in a design where it’s not about every square meter! Only I wouldn’t design the children’s rooms adjacent to one another due to sound transmission.

I have also added an enlarged staircase screenshot here. If I understand correctly, the staircase has a horizontal length of 16 x 18.9cm = 302.4cm. How would you arrange or build the staircase instead?

Regarding the kitchen, I was only told that in the next step, during a 3D appointment on site, we will fine-tune the details of the interior. Don’t ask me if that was included. So it apparently makes sense to already draw in the kitchen in detail at this stage.
