Newly built single-family house approx. 220 sqm, please provide comments on the floor plan

since I have a lot of time, I also like to write at length.

Do you actually live far away from ?
You should meet up.

No idea where they live......
Do you really think so.... but I am married!

Hello everyone,

a lot has happened here since my last post. Thanks for that! Unfortunately, very little has been said about the floor plan in most comments. Rather, there are again accusations and a stringing together of snippets from the posts, where people think they know the other person (that is, me) 100%. Such comments also make a thread unnecessarily long, so that it becomes too exhausting for some people to read and comment on.

In this post, I will try to explain a few things about myself and my family, and afterwards only respond to constructive contributions and advice regarding the floor plan design.

Is your wife a fan of Zsa Zsa Gabor?

My wife is not a fan of Zsa Zsa Gabor, Zsa Zsa Gabor was a fan of my wife. Unbelievable what kind of stupid questions one has to deal with here. Not a single meaningful contribution from this member so far, instead only stupid remarks to get a thumbs up or to pass them back and forth and thus clutter up the thread.

When reading, I get the feeling of a technically rigidly timed life design; apparently forward-looking and casual, but ultimately too smooth and therefore precisely not planning-wise forward-looking; probably not without reason the wife has already corrected once - .

Your feeling deceives you, maybe you should not rely on your feelings. Life has brought us so many unexpected things so far and has repeatedly messed up our plans. One could say that it always turned out differently than expected. Nevertheless, I do not want to live day by day, but want to take our life planning into my own hands first. In doing so, I also do not want to consider any eventualities that might happen at some point. The attentive reader must have noticed that both children are 14 years old and what is not known is that one who would have been 14 today is unfortunately no longer with us. The birth of the triplets was the reason why our apartment had to be sold and we bought a house. Due to the economic possibilities at that time, it became a semi-detached house. We actually have enough space here for everyone, just spread over 3 floors + basement. If it were up to me, the house tyrant, we could also stay here until the children are out of the house. Then, of course, it would be easier to fulfill my wish to build a bungalow than now with children. But my wife firstly does not want to climb so many stairs anymore and secondly does not want to keep compromising on furnishing through the 6-meter house width we have now. The wish for large rooms with a lot of freedom of movement, etc., comes from her.

My sentence about the piled-up stones is not meant derogatorily, but only reflects the fact. They are just stones and will always remain stones. The experiences and memories will remain with the people and for ever, but the stones will not tell the stories of what was experienced. Or do you have wall paintings in your house to leave messages to posterity?

There was also a contribution suggesting buying a used property, because even if building a house would be economically worthwhile, it would not be ecologically worthwhile, etc. You have to know that these plots are sold on former wasteland and represent infill development in a purely residential area, which also upgrades the whole neighborhood.

BUT ALL THIS IS NOT THE TOPIC HERE.
THE DISCUSSION HERE IS ABOUT THE FLOOR PLAN.

BUT ALL THAT IS NOT THE TOPIC HERE. THE FLOOR PLAN IS WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED HERE.

... which you have read enough about.

Your feeling is deceiving you

... I am just hopelessly sentimental after all, but who knows... -

If it were up to me, the household tyrant

So it is after all... - ; let's put it this way, your previous thread didn’t necessarily sound like you couldn’t take a direct, honest opinion

My sentence about the piled-up stones is not meant derogatorily, but just states the fact.

I didn’t feel addressed myself, although it might have been interpreted that way by some individually

no longer having to make compromises in the furnishing because of the 6-meter-wide house we now have

... which might possibly lead to going to the other extreme out of this annoyance; so watch out.

The experiences and memories will remain with the people forever, but the stones will not continue to tell the stories of what was experienced.

... finally some well-founded information here... -

Or do you have wall paintings in your house to leave messages for posterity?

... and not only that!

BUT ALL THIS IS NOT THE TOPIC HERE. THE DISCUSSION HERE IS ABOUT THE FLOOR PLAN.

In my humble opinion, often "felt" trivialities significantly contribute to the success or failure of a construction project; often more than, for example, the question of the last tenth of a percent in financing or the efficiency of a technical device. Actually, your life is none of my business, I commented on what seemed noticeable to me and could be reconsidered by a self-critical mind. Since I apparently missed the mark completely again, that is of course a good thing and at the same time a great compliment to you. So long -

... which you have read enough about.

if you read that the kitchen is not ergonomic, it must be changed, that means: a new design must be made.
If the staircase is only 3.40 meters long, it is DEFINITELY too short. -> a new design must be made. All other personal opinions about minor details can then be discussed in the new design, this one is practically unusable.
In a pinned post the staircase dimensions are given, so the MINIMUM measurements.
And then furnish with your own furniture and no placeholders, you have been asked to do so. Either you then see the deficits yourself or we see them. Program placeholder furniture is very "adaptable."
All gladly also drawn with graph paper and pencil.

Edit: and if someone asks in the forum why you have it that way (and not otherwise), then that is the criticism. A good design explains itself, even if it is different.
Giving a reason only serves the purpose of thinking about whether you are right.
