Optimization of floor plan for a single-family house with 180 sqm gable roof without basement

What basically bothers me: the hallway is large at the front and narrows where a living area/open space is supposed to open. Unfortunately, the staircase is in the way here, and all that remains is a small room door. The spiral staircase means that you need the (expensive) dormer. It also means that you have no inconspicuous way to access the attic with a fixed staircase. A huge advantage of a gable roof is the potential for expansion in the attic, and if it is not expanded, it could actually serve well as a storage room, but not here, because you run into the roof slope. 1. The starting point would therefore be to align the staircase with the roof. Second, I find the bay window on the south too long and too narrow. I would roughly widen the bay window by about a meter and shorten it by about 70 cm. but... although the idea of not placing the bedroom in the south is understandable, I find the bathroom in the west thrown away like pearls before swine. The same goes for the shower toilet. Since the bay window also somewhat overpowers the south garden, I would arrange the rooms differently and see an extension on the ground floor on the west side. From the entrance, the room arrangement would then be clockwise: northeast utility room, then WC, then office (southeast). The whole west with southwest then belongs to the open living area. The extension on the west side should be equipped with larger windows; that would probably be the airy highlight of the house. Do without the third gable, if permitted, maybe a 140 cm KS with a 35-degree roof, that has more pep than the drawn gable roof. But one would have to see if a nice room under the roof emerges from the numbers. Upper floor: bathroom northeast, bedroom in the southeast, although the window faces east, both children’s rooms facing west with a double casement window each south and north. Would have to be drawn sometime.

Thank you for the furniture! I do think that the children's rooms are relatively large. I would put the utility room (so the laundry room) upstairs. Basically, you have the space for it. And as I said, the path to the parents' area through the dressing room.

Observe yourselves while cooking, how much time you actually spend at the cooktop. Usually, it is much less than you think. Also, you don't need the cooktop for every meal. A lot happens around the sink, which is why you can place it on the island. I would plan your kitchen differently anyway. Corners are always disadvantageous/unpractical. However, I am deliberately not making any suggestions until the floor plan is final.

I fully agree with Pinky. Access to the bedroom through the dressing room, not the other way around. That way, the one who can sleep longer can stay undisturbed, if necessary swap bedroom and dressing room. Who has to sacrifice their garden for your house?

If the door to the living/kitchen/dining area actually opens like that, there is a problem. You can no longer get out of the kitchen.



and if the couch is supposed to stand as shown in the plan, you will be looking at the kitchen chaos forever.



It would be much better this way, you can go directly from the kitchen to the terrace and you don't see the kitchen from the couch. You can also make the window line deeper here (I think Climbee also has that). With the first plan this is not possible, the passage at the terrace corner becomes too narrow.

A cooktop on an island is the "German standard," apparently there are only hobby cooks left who need spectators. But most strangely have a Thermo .....
