Hello everyone,
Hm, they are mentioned among the overnight guests; for children between 14 and 9 years old, it is already very forward-looking to plan the room usage of the future now ...
That’s exactly what is meant: at the beginning, surely the two large rooms upstairs will be "children's rooms" ... but it doesn’t seem sensible to me to have no plan for what the rooms should be used for when the regular visits become fewer and not everyone is there at the same time anymore... therefore the "review" on the floor plan whether it is suitable for the "later" use...
Door from garage to TK: what is it for?
We thought it would be practical to have a door into the garage – especially if you size it so that maybe supplies, a chest freezer, wine, or other things can be stored there – and you don’t always want to open a 5m gate when you just want to grab something...
What is the storage room under the stairs for?
We thought of using this area for vacuum cleaners, mops, or similar "stuff" to be stored – instead of leaving the space under the stairs open and free, where one wouldn’t place anything "undecorative"?
The arrangement of the three ancillary rooms could be better: if the TK were central, a better door position would also free up space in the hallway for a dresser or a coat rack. The latter: where should that go?
That is basically true – we have already tried it once – that would contradict the idea of a door to the garage – so we switched it back – we would actually have to find space for the coat rack (hook board for jackets, etc.) – at the moment I would see a shoe cabinet in the utility room – this is where a air-water heat pump (e.g. from Proxxon) is to be installed, which then "hangs" above the washing machine/dryer; however, with a water and battery storage it could really get a bit tight?
Upstairs, three doors spoil the space in the dressing room
Can you think of something better here? Our usual "morning routine" currently is that I get up about 2 hours before my wife, get ready and dressed – and then leave for work – while she can still sleep "undisturbed"... with a dressing room next to the bedroom without access to the hallway/bathroom, you would always have to go through the bedroom, which would be disturbing – I would prefer if you could leave the bedroom with an alarm clock ringing and quietly close the door – and then no longer hear anything happening outside...?
Is work done daily in the "office" or is it more a computer room where people rather play?
The office should be more an "extension" of the living room, where files and a desk are located and which can be separated by a sliding door – but it is usually open... when you sit in the office, it is actually for working – looking at photos, writing documents, etc. – we do not play there – we rather play "board games" at the table
The hallway downstairs (no window), the stairwell and the hallway upstairs are dark. When you enter the dressing room, everything is dark too, windows are definitely missing
There shall be skylights (1mx1.4m), one above the staircase and one in the dressing room – this should create more headroom in the dressing room slope and much light, as the window closes at the top side of the roof, not at the bottom of the lowered ceiling... I just couldn’t draw this in SweetHome3D,...
The dining room seems generally too small to you – we rather thought here (even if the floor plan all looks so straight and rectangular) that you never place everything straight – and that in the open area LR/DR/K there should be enough space for a table and chairs? Or how much should one plan for the dining area from your experience?
Many thanks already for the things that you notice at first glance
Best regards and have a great start to the week ...
