Funny, the room layout on the ground floor and upper floor is identical to our house. And I can say, it works!

we have 3.40 in the master bedroom, works great. However, the 2m line at 2.30 from the head end, and a lintel of about 90.

Yes, that is really extreme. One could take a look during the shell construction... (consider: screed) and if necessary then cut out a bit so that the bed can be pulled further forward.

It certainly works, but you have to be aware that there is only about 60-65cm of space between the wall and the bed on each side. You should definitely take a look at the knee wall in a cross-section.

Thanks for your feedback so far! I'll try to address all points as best as I can.


We are even roughly done with the kitchen planning (see screenshot. Floor and kitchen appliances, especially the sink and cooktop, are not correct yet. They were only used for better visualization).
You mean the distance between the kitchen island and the kitchen counter, correct? We had deliberately chosen that in the plan so you can see how far back we can still move the kitchen island without running into someone cooking when they enter the kitchen through the sliding door. The plan, however, is to make the kitchen island a bit deeper (countertop size about 105 cm instead of 90 cm) and then adjust it so that the kitchen counter and kitchen island align flush at the top. This should move them about 20-30 cm closer together. Also, we like cooking together and wanted a bit more "battlefield" space to maneuver around.


We think the exact same about the T-bathroom: You stand directly in front of the sink when entering. Besides, we are concerned the shower would be too dark (we would have swapped it with the toilet, as already suggested by ypg), and the passage between sink and bathtub would become a bottleneck if we install a wider bathtub. Therefore, variant 2 is also an idea.

[Raffstores] will only be installed on the large windows on the south side, for exactly the reasons you mentioned.


I already mentioned swapping shower and toilet above. If we choose the T-bathroom, this swap will happen. Currently, we prefer variant 2 as it seems more open in our minds and would probably offer a bit more storage space.
The point about the living room door is good, we hadn’t thought of that! Thanks for the hint.


Correct, it will be a zero knee wall. We planned to build a small shelf behind the bed depending on the actual ceiling height (i.e., in the raw construction measurement, when seen live). Then the bed moves more into the room and you have a small shelf behind it for glasses, books, phone, etc., and maybe small cabinets with drawers would fit underneath. The width is somewhat larger (3.51 m). The floor plan measured up to the roof of the bathroom (3.35 m), but there are still 16 cm extra. Unfortunately, this is not immediately apparent. So with a 1.8 m wide bed, there should still be 80 cm of space on each side. It’s not ideal, but sufficient for us.


Funny, and good to know that the layout works! Is there anything you would have done differently now that you have gained experience living in the house?

Oh dear... it looks more open because the walls look like nothing from above. Besides, you have drawn an absolutely super-duper space-saving tub there, and without any shelf or such. If anything, I would go with the classic shower as in V2 but rotated, and next to it a straight tub boxed in. Toilet only with a half-high privacy wall, if at all.
