Optimize OG Stadtville. Floor-to-ceiling window

And I don't understand how one can produce so many different drafts in such a short time. With us, it has always been the case that a draft is created by the [ARCHITEKTEN] and then discussed with the building woman and man (in our case). That can sometimes take two or more hours. Then the draft is revised, and a few days later there is a second draft that is discussed again, and so on. In this way, you approach your goal iteratively, guided by the professional, and with an infinite amount of insights into countless detailed solutions.

Here you start with a random draft and discard it as soon as something doesn't fit. As a result, you also start over mentally every time, so the filtering of quality does not take place. Which is the current draft now, that is (hopefully) being refined?

I have discarded nothing.

Originally, he had shown us exactly this villa here. There we found many good things.

That was already the first time disappointment set in when version 1 (#26) came.

I agree with you on many points. The bedroom is not wide enough. Also, the bathroom feels very cramped when the shower is next to the bathtub. The children's rooms are okay. I also find the kitchen somehow treated like a stepchild, the utility room we wanted a bit bigger to store jackets there as well, stairwell for drinks, etc.

Basically, we would also be interested in the bungalow topic... here you save because there is no stairwell, etc., but usually these are significantly more expensive.

I was almost in the Bronx but almost back in Brooklyn. What do you criticize about the latest version? I find many things quite consistent again. Feel free to write in my thread. I am grateful for any help. I am still working on the wardrobe change and exterior view. But then I actually find it successful.

To the OP: I can very well understand the desire for window symmetry. Unfortunately, it is made difficult to have both a coherent floor plan AND symmetry. That has been/is my problem all along.

This is exactly the point where the GU customer gladly demotes to draftsman, and in this respect you should even find it very easy to understand, since you explain it yourself:

Then the draft is revised, and a few days later there is a second draft, which is discussed again, and so on. In this way, you iteratively approach your goal, guided by the professional, and with infinitely many insights into insanely many detailed solutions.

If you apply this principle by replacing "Architect" 1:1 with "Draftsman" wherever "Architect" appeared, the following happens: the expert in this case is intellectually not capable of the described distillation process 2. and, since he obeyed a different master than the architect, also has a completely different assignment 1. So here the method "Groundhog Day" is varied: change nine is developed from version eight; there is NO comparative feedback to version one. Consequently, the similarity of version eight with version two is not recognized and version nine is therefore no significant improvement over version three. Roulette is played without a Yahtzee scorecard; for each round the motto applies separately and originally: "new game, new bad luck." That way it just CAN’T work :-(

The catalog of Hebel kit homes is used by many GUs as a collection of building suggestions.

We found a lot of good things there.

Why didn’t you just keep it that way then?

In principle, we would also be interested in bungalow-type... here you save on account of no stairs, etc.,

For the additional floor area required by a bungalow, depending on the price of the plot, you can buy a pack of three to ten staircases. That only saves on paper calculations.

I can well understand the desire for window symmetry. Unfortunately, it is made more difficult to have both a coherent floor plan AND symmetry. That has been/is my whole problem all along.

Thank you for speaking out with this confession in the group session of anonymous symmetrists about where the seed of the vicious circle lay - see also here:

I went to the current provider with 2 received floor plans and precisely the wishes of walk-in closet, symmetrical window front/rear view.

I can only repeat it as a third 11antic mantra constantly: symmetry – and also a straight single-flight staircase – are wishes that (with very, very few exceptions) only work from twelve meters edge length upwards. It is more likely that a unicorn trots across a milky way of fine dust than that this principle will change.

How do you find my first attempt for the ground floor?

It is now 9.5m wide and 10m deep. The walls inside are all 17.5cm, as I don’t know what needs to be load-bearing here.

I am still unsure about the bathroom and dressing/pantry room. In any case, there is a 100x100cm shower. In the pantry room there are 4 cabinets measuring 60x60cm each, so roughly Pax level.

The utility room is 8sqm and in my opinion sufficient.

In the kitchen there is a 360cm wide row, plus a peninsula measuring 180x110cm and a freestanding refrigerator (side by side).

The table corresponds to ours (180x90cm). Then a couch 310x280cm, table and TV board. On the outside then a typical panorama fireplace.

What do you think?

Oh yes, I would take a window for the stair landing on the upper floor, as the garage is supposed to be on the side.

Here is the upper floor with furniture in real size. The children's rooms are similarly sized, just under 14.5 sqm. The bathroom is just an idea. The bedroom would fit better now. The hallway gets light through the window at the stairs.

Honest criticism. PS: The doors on the outside upstairs are all windows, I simply copied it from the ground floor.
