Planning, floor plans approx. 190 sqm with request for feedback

I don't think a teenager would want to move to the ground floor ... [UG] might be quite good, I know it from other houses.

Please scan the photos without entering the creator. I will delete the ones above later. It's better that way!

Super thanks... I've already reported it via the button because of that...

Done, finished... are visible again above :)

The relatively small children's rooms compared to the overall size have already been mentioned, as well as the fact that the bathroom upstairs can be accessed from 2 doors. That means the children never know if a parent might come in?! Also, the shower is right next to Child 1, who will be thrilled to bits if they don't have to get up early but everyone else showers next to them.

The open architecture is desired, you write. Ok, tastes are just different; and if you think it's great to sit at the dining table and have the toilet door, guest room door, and garage door in view, then of course that's possible. Cosiness looks different...

Then there is an open space in the living room that will ensure your children get plenty of your activities in the living room and kitchen. Vice versa as well; this is especially wonderful during the teenage years ;)
Also, in winter, every time the front door is opened, a blast of cold air will sweep through the whole house. That’s why people invented practical things like a hallway.

For 2 people, I find this expensive yuppie pad absolutely fine. For a family with 2 children, I find it rather horrible and impractical. Basically, this is a 2-person house in which you have squeezed in 2 children’s rooms.:cool:

The size of the children's rooms is also one of our biggest points of criticism. However, we haven't yet come up with a reasonable idea where we could get the space for an enlargement. Ultimately, the idea is that as soon as one of the children reaches the teenage years and needs more space, they can move into the ground floor into the current guest room, and then as the next step, the wall between the children's rooms will be removed (drywall). We still have enough space in the basement which is completely free (i.e. not underground) that can be converted into living space if needed...

I love it open, we also have an open hallway and a gallery with an open space... But we have no children and you can’t see the wardrobe or the toilet from the sofa. A basement hole (stairs) is also not exactly something that contributes to the cozy part. So, I would separate the stairs so that no one can look after the guest when they want to shower. Well, where to get space for children’s rooms? Would you get a Smart or a convertible (2-seater) if you need a car for 4 people? You have to make some compromises when you have children. Yes, such a gallery is great, but you don’t have to have everything that is ‘great’... Especially not if other housemates are disadvantaged because of it. You prioritize your wishes over the needs of your future children... You might as well save the ideas about later renovations: they won’t be implemented anyway, and somehow it’s ridiculous to give the growing children a place in the basement or next to the sofa just shortly before they move out.
