Hi!

Then you should at least consider a shower in the guest WC. The additional effort is minimal and you have more options.

Best regards,
Tomtom.

Why do you freeze in the morning when you get dressed? Do you sleep in a cold storage room?

I have found that you always have to dust with open wardrobes

The argument about the partner sleeping longer is a strong pro for a walk-in closet

The one about a tidy bedroom is not. Order is half of life. Also in the bedroom wardrobe

Why do you need a walk-in closet only as long as children are in the house?

Hello Stadtvilla-2012,

the floor plan is certainly not the worst, but it still has some flaws. You should have your architect fix these before construction.
"Generosity" in your floor plan is strange. It is defined by a lot of useless space in the hallway, the living room, and the open area in front of the bed. However, generosity will not arise in this house!

Examples:
- The dressing room definitely won't work with a 40cm wardrobe. Hangers are already that wide. You need at least 60cm on each side for the wardrobe and then enough open space in the middle to move around. The whole thing is very cramped and by no means generous. On the other hand, the open area in front of the bed is far too huge. I can already see clothes lying on the floor there and the vacuum cleaner standing in the "dressing room"... Also, the dressing room has no window. A bit of daylight would really be appropriate there.
- The entrance area has a lot of space but does not convey generosity, since the view is of a wall with a wardrobe. No matter what you do, generosity will not arise here. It just wastes a lot of space and you still have to keep the door closed to get to the wardrobe. Is that generous? Better swap wardrobe and guest toilet with access to the WC from the new wardrobe niche.
- The same applies to the "air space" upstairs. No function that could convey generosity. In addition, for example, the windows are far too small!
- The kitchen will convey a stuffy feeling. A narrow space where work is done on two sides... terrible! It will be an open kitchen but without the typical elements of an open kitchen like a counter - that will not work! Try to get more space here with an L-shape. Also reconsider the wall to the living room a bit. Take space from the living room in favor of the kitchen and also move the door from hallway => living room. Then it can really become generous.
- The house has far too little storage space! Friends of ours have a terraced house only 5 meters wide. But everything looks very generous there. How did they do it? There is nothing, really nothing standing around on the ground floor. You achieve this generosity only through storage spaces. I find almost none of this in your Stadtvilla! You absolutely need to improve this! You simply need an additional storage room for vacuum cleaners, etc. The technical room and a built-in closet will not be enough for this.
- The rooms upstairs are indeed large, but unfortunately there is only one bathroom. It will be anything but fun to share one bathroom in the morning with at least four people. If a second shower bathroom upstairs is too expensive for you, first consider how sensible the sauna in the basement is and whether it needs to be installed immediately...
- The bathroom upstairs is already quite large. The window with the French balcony sounds interesting. Especially for the neighbors who can see you on the throne. With frosted glass you lose the effect of a floor-to-ceiling window. So is it sensible? Better floor-to-ceiling windows in living areas.
Consider the arrangement of sinks, etc. Nothing except perhaps the bathtub should be placed on the wall to the bedroom, otherwise you will hear the "flushing sound" in the bedroom. You might also hear it in the kitchen. Consider whether child 1 and the bathroom could "swap". Then there is also space for a sensible shower bathroom upstairs and the pipes can be laid cost-effectively directly down to the technical room without having to lay them across the house.
- The ground floor has far too much open space in the living room area. Unfortunately, no generosity arises here either, because the kitchen and dining room still look squeezed into the corner and you will see and feel that from the living room => zero sense of generous space despite a lot of wasted area.
- I don’t even need to mention in the basement that the sauna and hobby room waste a lot of space, but the office with 2 desks will seem cramped?! Personally, I would prefer working in the "generous" hallway...

I hope you can make use of these tips and plan your house accordingly. As I said, the basic idea is not wrong. However, your architect (assuming you have one who is paid to develop a sensible concept for you) should make improvements in some areas and also convey the concept of generosity into the rooms.

Best regards

ymmd

You can also set up wardrobes in the dressing room, if you want. However, dust is not really the problem.
