Further wishes/special features/daily routine

- unclear whether the 12 sqm of the children's room are in appropriate proportion to the 31 sqm of the parents' realm
- if necessary, there will be some maneuvering when you want to leave the children's bathroom after washing your hands
- air space is always a tricky issue because of noise... one watches TV, child 1 goes crazy
- 1.25 m is too little for a passage + wardrobe, there will always be traffic jams
- access to the guest WC is similarly critical as the one to the children's bathroom
- 3 m width in the living room is rather little - these are very flattering sofas that are drawn in there
- seating situation in the bay window is okay with the 2.6 m, but rather narrow (80 cm per guest and chair)
- from where is the conservatory accessible?
- without a basement, the 6.7 sqm utility room with a partition wall is manageable. unclear whether I would cancel the pantry and make the utility room bigger instead.

If construction is supposed to start in a few days ... I will refrain from comments ...

Hello,

I want to "kidnap" the OP for a moment :D

Alex: could you please take a look at this thread - post 19. Who, if not you, is best suited to answer the question contained there professionally?

Thanks + Rheinische greetings

- unclear whether the 12 sqm of the children's room are in a reasonable proportion to the 31 sqm of the parents' bedroom
- it might be a squeeze when you want to leave the children's bathroom after washing your hands
- air space is always tricky because of sound... one person is watching TV, child 1 goes crazy
- 1.25 m is too little for a passage + wardrobe, you'll always have congestion there
- access to the guest WC is similarly critical as in the children's bathroom

This is not about children. There will be only 1 child and therefore there is more than enough space.
Access to bathroom and WC is sufficient in my opinion since there will never be more than 1 person inside.
The conservatory is only accessible via the kitchen or terrace, which was intended that way.

If construction is supposed to start in a few days ... I'll hold back on comments ...

Not me :-D

Let's see when the second house will be built, because the first one has too many flaws (in the planning) ;-)

- Dining area too narrow, living room as well.
- Air space right next to the children's room - let's see who gets annoyed first: the parents because they want to eat quietly with friends and the child is listening to music or just playing in the children's room. Or the child, because food smells waft into the children's room as well as the conversations and the TV.

- Why does the children's bathroom have only a skylight? Why don't you make one children's room a bit smaller and make the bathroom a bit bigger instead? Why do you need two children's rooms at all if only one child is desired? Reserve?
- Staircase from the dining area also very inconvenient. Consider that your child will also bring friends home when you are already asleep.

Conclusion: nice floor plan for a couple. But not with and for children. Privacy is almost non-existent in this layout.
