Semi-detached house design

Hello everyone,

we have now finished the preliminary drafts for the planning of our semi-detached house.
Actually, we were quite satisfied with them.
However, a few small changes still need to be made.

So, now I am interested in your opinions or suggestions for improvement.
I am grateful for any criticism...

Hi, I would do without the floor-to-ceiling window in the bathroom. A normal one should be enough there. Personally, I wouldn't like the entrance area that much, because you see/run directly onto the stairs from the front door. Otherwise, I think it's quite successful.

Thank you Wastl for the answer, the bathroom window will definitely not be floor-to-ceiling either. Probably a wide, low one like the one seen in the other semi-detached house.

I know this post from another forum :) And the people are - I think - right to doubt where the wastewater from the upper toilet is supposed to go. If you look at proper construction drawings, a wastewater pipe is always drawn in. Of course not in brochure drawings. So the location would probably be in the kitchen corner, where the door is (I am an amateur, if I am wrong, then a big sorry in advance!) But then the kitchen door would also have to be moved. And since the staircase with 14? steps may already be very steep, it would have to be relocated toward the living room. I know this program, when an amateur operates it, we work with shell construction dimensions, meaning the screed is not included. Measure your staircase on the plan, I would not plan below 3.80 as an amateur so that a proper construction drawing can come out. Thus, you have to give up some centimeters (certainly 40/50cm) of the living room. And thus also space in the upper rooms. Otherwise, I would also forego a floor-to-ceiling window in the bathroom. Maybe the shower could be swapped with the toilet? The large side windows I would plan more centered on the wall, not placed so dominantly outward, or/and also plan them narrower. That was a statement from an amateur (with a bit of construction knowledge) :)

Yes, correct, I also posted the draft there. The more opinions the better :D Whether the staircase is too steep I have to check, but I thought there is a certain standard for staircases that must be followed. In the plan, the staircase is just under 3.70m. Placing the side windows a bit more centrally sounds good. Swapping the shower and toilet... reluctantly. Thanks to you too ypg, many thanks for your statement

Then take a look at the rise and the tread width in the program. As already mentioned, the raw construction dimensions do not include the screed, and theoretically one step would disappear. 15 steps in the right ratio are more comfortable. I once visited a model home exhibition, and every staircase had 14 steps: not very comfortable for me, but they were also winding, so it doesn't have to mean anything. Count other stair steps at acquaintances sometime :) Ours has 15!
