There were no questions, right?

I don’t really know what you’re hoping for, but I’d like to share my impression. Although I don’t know where this is supposed to lead if the plan is fixed anyway.

First impression:
It’s definitely big.

I don’t like the view from the north. The glass could be bigger, mixed formats, small windows for bathrooms ... height differences with ramps, steps, excavation for the basement ... hmm.
Rabbit wire in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor is not my thing.

The hallway downstairs is too fussy for me, it doesn’t do justice to the spaciousness of the house.
You can also fix the windows on the gallery, you will never open them anyway.
Bathroom 1 on the upper floor deserves a reset button, honestly nothing fits for me. The tub is in the way and wastes a lot of space, passage to the shower is too narrow, washbasin cramped, towel radiator as far as possible from shower and washbasin. Walk-in shower is too small, will be a nice flood if there’s no door.
I have never seen three doors in one bathroom.
Bathroom 2 on the upper floor is a bit cozy. The wall of the walk-in shower is too short, it will get nicely wet there (same fate as bathroom 1). I wouldn’t leave it open, in my opinion there needs to be a glass door.

Children 1 and 2 could have been made equally large without any problem.

Bedroom layout is too large; between bed and window is just empty space. Spaciousness is nice and all, but then the width of the access doesn’t fit the concept.

Is children’s room 3 intended as such? If yes, why so small? If no, what else is the room for? It seems like the room is simply surplus, as it apparently was not designed according to the same rules as the other rooms.

A typical single-family house for four has 150-160 sqm. This design has 260 sqm? It has a small children’s bathroom and a small third children’s room more than a typical single-family house floor plan. Where is the rest?

Final impression:
You could have saved area in high equivalent value without really noticing it, in my opinion.

... frankly, the result amazes me. And in that sense, it almost makes me sad to read, Why didn’t you get in touch when there was still a chance to save something? The stated floor area is nowhere to be seen in the design, but above all: this townhouse apparently suffers from an extreme lack of imagination. Also a kind of minimalism, if you will.

I’ll add to Alex85 that the door for the extra WC in the parents' bathroom should definitely open outwards. In case something happens to someone, and so that one can actually get out from the inside again.

Where is there room for the wardrobe? I would have had a lot to contribute if I had been asked. I do not find the house well thought out at all. Large rooms, but a lot of unconsidered. My 5sqm dressing room in my 135sqm house has more closet space than yours. Well then, I am sure you will be happy in your house [ ].
