Single-family house, approx. 140 m², 2 children's rooms - What do you think of the floor plan?

The T-bath doesn’t work properly like this:

Room width:
338 - 90 cm shower - 18 cm wall - 85 cm tub - 10 cm plaster and tiles from the many walls - 55 cm for a realistically deep sink.
That leaves 80 cm passage .. ok, could be enough, but it is less generous than the drawing suggests.

However, the T-shower is pointless if the shower door is as drawn, but if the shower door is in the passage, then the shower door reaches into the window and the window would have to be a lot narrower again. Could then be rather max. 126 cm.

... it would be nice if the house were drawn to scale again in the site plan.

Yes, the shower wall will definitely open inward, see example:
The 80 cm is a good hint, but it is sufficient for us so far.
We will request the site plan again and then I will add it.

Let’s just take this here: the pantry is unusable as such because of the window on the south side. After three days of sunshine, you can no longer get the heat out of this narrow room, so it becomes unpleasant for more than one person to stay there. Food spoils quickly.

We will have external blinds, so you can somewhat avoid this problem. But not completely, that’s true. So far we have left it in because of the blinds and the look from the outside. How is the ventilation if the window in the pantry is removed? Will the ventilation system be installed in every room, including the pantry?
And the symmetry of the windows on that side would then be gone.

The design is getting worse and worse.

The pantry still has its south window. Everything here revolves around the impossible entrance under the carport... as if you wanted to deliberately build a bottleneck with a labyrinth here.

Could it be that you cannot understand our well-meaning and sensible advice?

We are trying to understand the advice and certainly draw our conclusions from it.
I already commented on the hallway problem in post no. 37.

Maybe move the house 2.5m east within the building boundary and you have space in front of the entrance door to move it to the north.

Pantry next to the kitchen makes sense, but just swap living room and kitchen. Then you kill three birds with one stone:
- Living room facing south
- Dining room facing south
- Pantry directly by the kitchen and cool on the north side

The suggestion could really work, but for this we first need the updated site plan. Because it could get quite tight – or not possible at all. But we will take care of it!

But a 90x90 shower in a T, which is actually designed for a 90x150 to 160 shower, is somehow nonsense.

And the symmetry of the windows would be done on that side.

Secondly, there is none, and firstly you don’t need it. You don’t go into the pantry to get some fresh air – it benefits from the most constant climate possible, and that means no heating up caused by a window. A blind there would merely be a consequence in joking.

I would also swap the kitchen and the living room. Something like this:


I definitely would not base the position of the front door or the overall floor plan on a utility room. For example, we keep garden tools in a separate wooden shed near the beds.

You don't go into the pantry to get some fresh air – it requires as constant a climate as possible, which means no heating through a window.

That tops off the absurdity of the planning when I block the sunny side of the house with windowless storage rooms so that they don't heat up.

That really crowns the absurdity of the planning when I block the sunny side of the house with windowless storage rooms so they don't heat up.

No one ever advised placing the pantry on the south side.
You reach this absurdity when the pantry absolutely has to be accessible from the south kitchen ... plus the two towers as tall cabinets in the kitchen so that the kitchen door can swing better.
Instead of considering to think the pantry away first and plan the kitchen door directly from the entrance.
