Opinions about the ground floor layout

Musketier pretty much writes exactly what I think... this is nothing more than an amateur DIY job and should actually go straight into the circular file (trash bin).

I don't like to say it either, but you simply cannot consider the floor plan and the size of the rooms separately. They are always connected.

You forgot the chimney, and I see black for the wood stove in that spot. I can see the square meter number and can roughly estimate the lengths from that. It just doesn’t fit.

Well, you wanted opinions, now you have mine :D

Important for the floor plan is the staircase. Whether the space is big enough cannot be said due to lack of measurements. I suspect the space is too narrow and thus the whole floor plan collapses. The hallway will probably be a dark hole.

- The space is definitely sufficient...

The 2m² in front of the pantry are completely lost to you. The pantry is hardly usable as it is. The door should rather be on the long side of the pantry.

- We were reluctant to plan 3 doors in the kitchen, that's why we set the pantry back. But the door on the longer side would be the better solution...

Hallway doors are also illogical. Sometimes inwards, sometimes outwards.

- We really didn’t pay much attention to that in the drawing yet... As I said, it is the first idea for the room layout

Furthermore, it makes no sense to draw the ground floor and upper floor separately. This only works in combination due to the chimney, staircase, cable ducts and views.

Is there a basement, otherwise the utility room is missing?

Yes, there is a basement

Where is north?

North is the side of the entrance... So living rooms are directly to the south

Are those windows/floor-to-ceiling windows at the top left and right?

Yes, they are..

What is the bay window at the back for? It currently looks like expensive unused space

- The bay window is mainly intended for the two children's rooms on the upper floor; no roof windows should be installed there, but floor-to-ceiling windows in the bay window. Secondly, we don't want a patio exit behind the dining table or the couch...

Hello!

I also find the floor plan not feasible.
If the bay window is supposed to be for the floor-to-ceiling windows of the children's rooms [plural?!], then I assume that the partition wall between the two rooms should run centrally from top to bottom. That way, you only get an extremely narrow window that is set very far back. It has the charm of a prison cell... So make the bay window significantly wider - at least twice as wide.
If you need a bay window for the windows, then I assume the eaves are supposed to be in the north and south - and the ridge runs from left to right - right?
Furthermore, the left children's room then has no door. Unless you always have to go through the right children's room.
I suspect that the kitchen has to be spanned by a beam, since there is no load-bearing wall here - so no door is possible (I assume this with my amateurish half-knowledge) - with a door there is no support surface for the beam. Or are they supposed to be drywall partitions? Then it might work...
Furthermore, the dark prison cells - sorry, I mean children's rooms - will be pretty large. Not much will be left for the bathroom and the bedroom. If I then consider the sloping ceilings, you will always have to shower in a shoebox and you probably won't get a wardrobe into the bedroom either...

Therefore, my advice as well: shelf P and have the architect redesign it.

Basically, I don't think the whole thing is that bad. The devil is in the details.
*Go from the stove to the pantry and back out again. Each time, the door is in your way.
*The entrance area with the windbreak looks too cramped. Why two of them right next to each other? (to the hallway, and to the WC)
*Where is the utility room?
*Kitchen, where would the dining table or cabinets possibly stand? No surfaces for placing things. Also, the space opposite the doors by the kitchen/pantry is wasted. Possibly continue the pantry wall (horizontal).
*You don’t get any daylight into the hallway from any side.

A small, slight initial improvement suggestion without being able to fix all the criticism points

Hello house planner, is there a plot of land? That’s where you roughly define the building outlines, that is the size (what size is possible and in which direction will it be built? In which direction should the roof surfaces face?). Garage in the west, where the sun is in the evening? No. Only then do the rooms come into the outline. The staircase should be placed at the beginning, so centrally that real rooms can be planned above as well. I was told (I am also planning) that a windbreak is no longer needed, since doors nowadays are already nicely sealed. Greetings Yvonne
