If you decide to realize only one bathroom upstairs, then there should already be a bit more space for showering downstairs. The teenagers will later claim this room. If a second utility room is created upstairs, then it doesn’t need to have a large open space downstairs, but only room for shelves. The rooms in the house basically depend on each other, so you shouldn’t get tangled up... and... YES: planning on paper and with templates is better together with the family. Only one person can sit at the PC and operate the mouse... you can use a nice program to finalize drafts – but you’re not there yet. Go back to the roots to graphite and draw with a pencil...

Regards, Yvonne

In the last version, the bathroom on the upper floor does not work (shower access / toilet) everything about 200 cm. But, work is already being done on that.

A north arrow is always useful on floor plans.

Hello, I gave it a try but (unfortunately) didn’t come to any reasonable result. However, I have to say that I only just noticed the orientation of the house. That means: children's rooms should not be built facing north, for them sunlight in the room is more important than the location of the master bedroom. So that brings us back to the original floor plan. If you realize that the dressing room here barely has 70cm between the wardrobes, and from experience a bedroom with 12 sqm should be sufficient, you very quickly reach your limits here due to the staircase location - somehow the hallway always resembles a snail’s path or you end up with trapped rooms, because west of the stairs there is far too much space. You can see this well in the original floor plan with the second parallel corridor of the master section, which wastes sqm that could be well used by the two children's rooms. The chimney in the hallway is also not exactly a masterpiece... In this respect, I would move the staircase at least 50cm to the west overall, which would positively balance the space available both downstairs and upstairs. Since I personally find a grid and dimensions missing in the drawings, it’s difficult to reconstruct the house. That’s why I will not redraw the house now. I think that’s not necessary anyway since you have an architect - you explain your new findings to him and he will redo it! From the floor space perspective, I see no problems: WC not too small, utility room downstairs can be larger because of the utility room upstairs, toilet in front of the bathroom with a separate door... That will work.

Hello Yvonne, thank you once again for your detailed response. We have also come to this conclusion during our trials that it always fails at the staircase. Our architect will simply have to take another look and redesign it there. However, we have already taken a lot of input from this thread. Thank you very much.
