Renovation with architect: Suggestions for house floor plan desired

Honey, the shortening was already suggested [emoji2] That's why my answer.

I also like your suggestion, but it would bother me that the kids have to pass by the visitor in the evening.

You always die one death: I basically don't like hallways, but if it's necessary... that's just how it is.
I think there are also nice lighting solutions that can turn the negative into a positive. Also a nice wall for picture galleries [emoji2]

We would like to keep the entrance area with the spiral staircase open.

Is your suggestion even statically feasible? We would have a post or something similar in the living room anyway.

Yes, I have to admit, it wasn’t entirely clear to me what you meant. About the same as I outlined? Then we agree? I had rather assumed you only wanted to move the door. Draw a sketch, --- darling. :)

I actually found the cozy corner in the back quite well shielded. That terrible additional mouse-run hallway would definitely not be worth it for me. Pictures aside.

Yes, all the better! I would plan an open passage as a windbreak. As you can see, I’m also in favor of fewer walls. :)

You have to ask the structural engineer. If half the wall for the kitchen goes up that high, I would say it’s possible without it. But that wouldn’t be critical for my decision.

The entrance area is downstairs.
