For what reason can't a window be installed on the carport side? Better a little less light than no light at all.

Otherwise, you should really take a look at the window in the bathroom and think about it. We explicitly insisted that no window door be installed in the bathroom. "Otherwise, anyone could watch us showering/washing." (OK - who would want that anyway.)

Regarding the storage space, you should really reconsider. When I look alone at our current apartment at all the stuff lying around and that has to be moved + basement + office. There's quite a lot present, and I'm not even talking about drink crates, supplies, cleaning agents, vacuum cleaner, winter/summer tires, clothes dryer, or possibly a place for a drying rack (in winter), etc.

Certificate of failure for the architect!

Bathroom is a no-go. Walking around the shower to wash hands?
The hallway gets funny when more than 2 people want to come in: TRAFFIC JAM
There was more space in the hallway in every rental apartment I have lived in so far

The saying about the window to the carport is good, window is not possible, but front door is? Yeah, right

Lots of living space that probably will look totally cluttered later because all that stuff has to go somewhere.

In the end, you have to live in it and be happy with it. But it seems I'm not the only one who wouldn't like it

Many have already said something about the rest, so I will not comment on that anymore. I wouldn’t design the bedroom with this "fake dressing room" like that. Prefer normal wardrobes and if you still want to watch TV, then a solution with a projector and a retractable screen. Then you can also use the space between the wardrobe and the bed, for example for ironing or for placing a crib for the first few months, etc.

Speaking of television. Where does the TV go in the living room?

Hello,

before we decided to build a house, we looked at various houses. Among other things, we looked at a fairly new house with about 110 sqm of living space. Like you (and us too ) they had not planned a basement. The utility room was about 5 sqm / small and FULL of technology!!! There was absolutely no more space to store anything anywhere.

The house looked so full because, for example, the water crates were placed under the stairs, all walls were fully occupied with shelves or cabinets.

In my opinion, you need at least 10 sqm of utility room.

Where do you want to do laundry? Where will the laundry be hung? Where will beverage crates go? Winter clothing? Sports equipment? Winter/Summer blankets?

Could the upper bedrooms be planned more evenly? Even if you only sleep in the bedroom, you also have your closets there. In our closets, there is bedding and towels for the whole family.
We really don’t have much in the closets, but per person we planned 1.50 m of closet + 50 cm for bedding, towels, etc. + two dressers. That would not fit in your room at all.

On the other hand, I find the bathroom too big. If planned better, you could save space here.

I would definitely let the architect have another look!

Hello,

normally I don’t participate in discussions about floor plans; I usually just end up in trouble .... I still think that you are going a bit overboard with your criticism of the floor plan. I can well imagine that the architect’s task was to be cost-effective and have short distances. Well – he implemented that, although he also – on the surface – messed up the placement of the bathroom in the attic; although no one here knows whether it might rather be that the original poster specified the location of the bathroom ...?


Yep. The front of the hallway measures 2.10 m – by moving the door to the kitchen (or also an interior sliding door) the original poster has enough space to accommodate all the stuff a four-person household needs for outerwear. The concrete stairs also allow a stroller to be parked in the front area – in front of the light strip.


The floor plan of the kitchen currently fits exactly the trend; the original poster has additional storage space in the storage room under the stairs.

It is true, however, that light is missing. I can understand the objection – because of ordering the carport – but it’s a weak argument. If the development plan does not explicitly negate it, the state building code usually allows the building envelope in this area to exceed the parking space issue by up to 3.00 m. Thus there would be space for a side kitchen window. Alternatively, the double carport can be converted to a single carport in favor of kitchen daylight; another parking space is possible in front of the entrance door.


The utility room is also a bit small for my taste; however, all the necessary technical equipment can be accommodated. If ventilation, then probably decentralized. As for drying the laundry – either dryer, garden or bathroom.


Not really. Enough light comes in through the light strip; besides, in the price range €5/600, a daylight spotlight can be installed. Overall, the hallway is designed functionally, which supports my initial thesis.


You can safely disregard that. With 1.30 m plus the roof rafter support you have enough headroom ... also for the occasional physical intimacy of a sporty kind.


That would be enough for me as well. By the way, a TV connection would be wasted money for me ... I wouldn’t watch a movie to the end.


Most architects don’t care much about the bathroom layout. The objects probably only want to signal that there is room; how exactly is probably to be clarified later with the sanitary installer.

The 2.00 m line allows little leeway in the arrangement of the windows, and shutters are to be installed. However, the rooms could still be shifted a bit at the expense of the children’s rooms; 16 sqm usable area is already something .. especially when I consider how little children’s rooms are actually used after all.


Only in the entrance area on the ground floor and that will normalize once the carport is there.


I rather assume it is the original poster’s requirement.


I don’t see it that way. In an elevator, often up to 6 people are allowed despite less floor space; the circulation area upstairs is, in my opinion, sufficient.


That, in my opinion, is the most frequent mistake in floor plan discussions here on the home building forum. They don’t have to please you/me, but above all must always be adapted to the needs and wishes of the respective original poster.

Rhenish greetings
