Planning the city villa - opinions?

Hi everyone and many thanks for the great feedback.
I’m happy to pick up on the suggestions and want to explain a few things but also ask some questions about your proposals.
I’ve tried to sort and consolidate it a bit.
In general, we are currently three people and no further child is planned, but it is not ruled out. Therefore, for now, the decision is to have 2 children's rooms of similar "size." Child 2's room will be used as a guest room and office (10x home office per year).

Ground floor:
: Definitely, the fronts at the dining table should be able to slide completely open, our parents-in-law have the same and living room and terrace merge optimally this way. Absolutely agree with you. Will be like we have now: a gray floor inside and outside gray WPC, which looks nice as a continuous design.

Utility room:
- Bay window, idea to break the facade at the front again and create the basis for the continuous 1m deep roof overhang from the door to the carport.
- Dividing the utility room: sounds reasonable given the size, what does TK stand for?

Children's playroom:
Above our living area, the room should serve as a children's "living" room or playroom. We want the kids to play nearby and not be locked away upstairs. Also, later with consoles or TV, it’s easier to keep an eye on them. Sliding door runs into the wall so toys can be left out occasionally. Therefore, some sqm can be sacrificed upstairs in the children's room. The room will surely change function over the years; it is conceivable that one child might later have both rooms upstairs and downstairs remains office only.

Upper floor:
Children's room explanation see above but we also pondered the size.
- Child 2 also facing south is cancelled since it’s used as an office/guest room. If there should be a child 2, which is very unlikely, it would then be so. We are reluctant to place it in the north because it may never be used.

Walk-in closet:
- Window: was once in the plan, the option to place the walk-in closet in a U shape made it disappear.
- Doors at the front, was also my idea on Tuesday with the architect. Counterargument was usability behind the door and entrance not with a direct view "only" of the bathtub.
- In general, the plan was to access the parents’ area via the walk-in closet. If one of us has to get up earlier, that person can slip away via the walk-in closet and not disturb the other.

Bathroom:
- I don't know the size of the sanitary fixtures, hope it won’t feel too cramped later.
- The suggestion of an inverted L sounds interesting; I can’t quite imagine yet how exactly the layout should be.

Hallway area:
- Uncertainty, on the one hand, it provides open light to the entire area. The room would be for a sideboard and maybe a plant facing forward. Alternatively, the bathroom could be enlarged around the corner and possibly built-in cupboards could be provided.

General:
- Facade plaster white/gray example see attachment.
- Our layman-described wish was visually a mix of townhouse villa with Bauhaus style accents. There are many different tastes here; we already like it a lot on the outside.
- Side entrance necessary. Certainly a justified question since such experiences have also been made here. It’s somehow another axis on the ground floor where our desired built-in wardrobe niche as well as the shoe room find their access.

As said, many thanks for your thoughts.

Best regards,
Jan

Forget it, that's how the facade is supposed to look.

TK: Technikraum.
Kinderbad: for one child I find a children's bathroom unnecessary.
Zugänge von der Ankleide: by doing this you outsource the dressing room function, namely you place wardrobes back in the bathroom and bedroom, which normally should be unnecessary with a dressing room.
You should consider whether you really want to put up with a space-consuming wardrobe in the bedroom or want more usable space in the dressing room. At least in these door areas it will again be a good amount of individual wardrobe sections instead of continuous wardrobe surfaces.
Einbauschrank Garderobe: ....can also be very well leaned against the utility room wall. The gain would be a nice guest room.
L im Bad: instead of your T

Didn't TK stand rather for freezer?

...
Then I would divide the utility room into freezer and utility room.

No

That would be a freezer, freezer unit

TK: technical room. Children’s bathroom: for one child I find a children’s bathroom unnecessary. Accesses from the dressing room: by doing this, you outsource the dressing room function, namely you put wardrobes back in the bathroom and bedroom, which should normally be unnecessary with a dressing room. You should consider whether you really want to put up a space-consuming wardrobe in the bedroom or want more usable space in the dressing room. At least in these door areas, there will be a lot of single wardrobe piecing together again instead of continuous wardrobe surfaces. Built-in wardrobe hallway: ....can also be very well leaned against the utility room wall. A gain would be a nice guest room. L in the bathroom: instead of your T

Hi Yvonne,

after further reflection I agree with you. The goal should be to use a dressing room with the longest possible wardrobes and not to create niches for dressers behind the doors. I will have that changed.

In addition, the idea came to me to swap the L simultaneously with the washbasins and bathtub. You wouldn’t stumble directly into the bathtub if the doors are at the beginning, and the bathtub would be placed against the middle wall provided there is enough space.
