Schnuckline builds a cozy little house (floor plan)

My opinion: below: Too few windows, or they are too small. That is too dark. Remove the kitchen island. Then you also have space to move around in the kitchen. Possibly put in a small table that can be folded and three delicate chairs. Ikea has such things. The hallway is okay. That suffices. I find the storage niche acceptable. Above: The bathroom is poorly designed. Why two sinks? Is this a youth hostel? Suggestion: Bathtub on the east side. Toilet above that on the north side. Shower on the west side. Sink on the south side. Walk-in closet: Forego it. Then you stand in front of the Pax in the room. Who do you want to hide from while dressing! Close the door and that’s fine. Otherwise above as well: more window areas. And no floor-to-ceiling windows. Why? Take 110 cm masonry openings as window dimensions. That gives window areas that you can dress up with IKEA standard blinds and the like. Doors open the wrong way? That’s nonsense. It does not matter at all whether a door is opened with the left or right hand. It only has to be wide enough. Because of the kitchen island, the kitchen door is too narrow. A door should be about 89 cm wide. Anything else is tight. Sometimes, for the guest toilet, you have to go narrower. But please not for kitchen doors. Karsten

Wrong door: the note refers to the fact that the door in the living room opens into the room and not towards the corner of the wall. In addition, the door in the bathroom opens outward at the top.

Before the second washbasin gets removed, I would remove the urinal. One washbasin for four people who want to get ready at the same time is too little.

You misunderstood me. Upstairs the washbasin will be smaller. Instead of a double washbasin, there will be a longer single washbasin. There is no urinal in that bathroom. That is downstairs on the ground floor. The washbasin there, of course, remains. I am slowly getting desperate. If I make the bedroom wider, the bathroom becomes narrower, which is already too narrow. And downstairs on the ground floor it's the same. The kitchen becomes wider, which I actually don't need to be wider, and the entrance area becomes narrower, which I would actually like to be bigger. Ahhhhhhh, this is difficult! I have just sent the plans with improvement comments to the architect. Let's see what she says about it. I can gladly post them here again as soon as she sends me a reply.

I really still need to work on the windows. I’m clarifying with the architect what makes more sense: wider existing windows or additional ones next to the existing ones. Thanks for the tip about the kitchen doors. The one from the living room to the kitchen is planned to be 94 cm and the one from the hallway to the kitchen 73 cm. I will then plan those accordingly larger.
About the bathroom: I have now removed the double washbasin and replaced it with a wide single washbasin. The problem in the bathroom is that the north side consists of a sloping roof (knee wall 1.60). So I can’t install the toilet there or start the shower. And I have to somehow keep the entrance on the west side free — so difficult.
We have now chosen the floor-to-ceiling windows because they are included and basically part of the standard. Of course, you can also redesign and plan two small ones side by side instead of one floor-to-ceiling. Dormers or gables are still being discussed for the children’s rooms.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but I still don’t understand why that’s supposed to be wrong. Why shouldn’t the door in the living room open into the room to the right? I could also turn it the other way, but my concern was that the door would constantly bang against the cabinet there. Although it would be somehow nicer when coming in. Hmm… I still have to think about that. And why shouldn’t the bathroom door open outward? There’s plenty of space.

The simple answer is because people don’t do it
Living room: there is always the danger of slamming the door right into someone’s head. Especially dangerous with small children. Also, you will never be able to leave the door open.

Bathroom: you usually try to have all doors open in the same direction, it simply looks better. And a similar problem, the door can quickly hit someone in the head here as well. The exception is a small guest bathroom where you might simply have no other option.

Phew, why did you come up with the idea? Carrying groceries alone is no fun, possibly even less so with a child in your arms. But you are changing it anyway.

Dachschräge (Kniestock 1,60) besteht. Da kann ich also keine Toilette

It works, actually can be done without problems.

Okay, thank you very much for the explanation. That actually makes sense in the living room. I will implement it that way.
