Semi-detached house first draft, what do you think?

And the parents' bathroom becomes a shared one.

You then enter it from the staircase ? ? ? I have the impression that this is not your house at all. Who, pray tell, commissioned the architect if the needs and living wishes of your family are so completely absent from the design and you have to change basically almost everything so that it fits for you. WHO sets the planning framework and who pays and orders the music, i.e., commands the architect? The drawings all look as if the semi-detached house was originally designed as a mirror clone by a third party and afterwards only vaguely formulated change requests were attempted to be incorporated. But you can no longer fix anything on the detailing level that has already taken a roughly deviating course at the preliminary design stage. I hope you are only prospective buyers so far and can still cancel with the project developer.

That you then enter from the stairs ? ? ?

But . Now don’t play dumb. Both bathrooms are being combined into one large bathroom.

Hello,
overall it would be too open for me and it looks more like a model house than a residential house.
I have sketched minimal modifications that would mean I wouldn’t build it like that, but I could imagine living in it. However, I wouldn’t want to do without the children’s bathroom. This doesn’t mean that only the child is allowed to use it, but also someone who perhaps gets up earlier and doesn’t want to disturb the others in the bedroom. Then one could also consider making the dressing room accessible from the hallway instead of the bedroom. The guest/office room would be good for the children’s rooms in such a large house, but I would be reluctant to do without an office, also regarding a possible resale.

As an alternative with large children’s rooms and a small guest/office at the expense of the dressing room:
(not optimal either, since the children’s bathroom borders the bedroom).

With the proposal, I wouldn't make 2 bathrooms upstairs, but rather like this: creepy with a slant so the kids can use the bathroom... and then make the downstairs toilet a bit bigger with a shower. But overall, it's rather crappy, but I'm not really good at drawing floor plans (as you can see ), others do that better.



Also, it really bothers me right now that it feels like nothing fits into around 200 sqm... probably because of the staircase right in the middle in an almost square floor plan. I would change that; it fits better into rectangles.

The frosted glass door hardly improves the ground floor for the needs of a family in my view. Furthermore, the central path over the stairs runs directly through the quiet zone. And whether the door to the utility room is at the front or back, .. it still looks strange.

For me, the frosted glass door hardly improves the ground floor for the needs of a family. Furthermore, the central path through the stairs goes directly through the quiet zone. And whether the door to the technical room is at the front or the back ... it still looks strange.

That is all correct. But from my point of view, it improves the situation somewhat, because
- Not everyone can look directly onto the sofa from the front door
- The wall opposite the TV (towards the utility room) can be used for a nice bookshelf and you don’t have the door right next to the sofa.

I have sketched another possible (maybe better but also not optimal) layout here:

The kitchen would become very "open" as a result, and whether the width is sufficient for eating and living would then have to be simulated with actual furniture - just as a thought.

However, this all looks to me like a developer project - and how extensive the individual planning possibilities are is, of course, also a major factor.
