Single-family house, approximately 160m², Bauhaus style; first draft according to our wishes

I also have a sink island and would do it the same way again. The island is short enough to quickly dash around if needed, close enough to the cooktop and the dishwasher (half a turn to the back) and contains all necessary preparation utensils (cutting boards, knives, towels), is deep enough that I can wipe everything in depth with one arm movement (90cm for me) and does not require an extra powerful range hood. I find it terrible in other people’s homes when the cooktop is on the island. I don’t want to be close to splashes of grease and hot steam while the host is busy tidying up for a good part of the cooking time. The advantage of a cooktop island has so far really escaped me.

So, here’s the next update, the caravan is moving forward, the last to-do for now are still the views. Tomorrow is the next appointment where we will continue exactly from there.

What has changed since then:
- Kfw55: We will probably no longer pursue this and just “see where we end up”
- The stove is back in (a little something for the soul...)
- The kitchen has now been rotated
- The terrace on the south side has been extended
- The two balcony doors on the south side have now been redesigned
- Bedroom / dressing room combined

The west view still includes the balcony, but it is no longer part of it -> see floor plan.

We have approached the windows from the lighting needs from the inside as stated several times here. Now matching the widths etc. is again the rotation back, right?

Further ideas (purely from the analogy of alignment) that came to me:
- East side: Adjust bedroom window to the width of the kitchen window
- South: Window front bottom right aligned with the dressing room window: Problem? The stove needs the width of the wall... but I cannot move the dressing room window due to the room layout
- West: Children’s room window left aligned with the lift/sliding element to the terrace.

Opinions?

P.S. Additionally (again): The oven question is still an incredibly emotionally charged discussion at the moment. We are torn between all the arguments for and the arguments against.

Did I count correctly now? There are 11 formats for 14 windows... Of these, 5 windows in 4 formats are on the front side, 4 windows/4 formats on the south side.

Why is the kitchen like this now? What do you expect from it? Or what is better about it now?

The stainless steel chimney was deliberately left out of the views. It is simply impossible for it to stake up freely like a pennant pole.
Why is the stove not placed in the center of the house? Opposite the stairs, the flue can go into the corner... then you also have some of the stove from the living area. It will be warm enough in the kitchen without a stove anyway.

I would free the cloakroom niche from one door. One is enough.
No one likes to go through a small chaotic cloakroom on the way. I actually consider it a bit small. As a room itself it would be sufficient, but not with two additional doors.

Tomorrow we have an appointment where we will only work on the windows & views in total.

Space & more sense of room. Before, I simply found it way too cramped... We didn’t like it overall, we are still working on an optimal solution because we don’t have one yet...

Opposite the stairs the chimney can go in the corner... then you also have some of the stove visible from the living area.

That only doesn’t work again with the roof. It would then run straight across the corridor upstairs and massively reduce the corridor width both on the ground floor and upstairs (if even possible). Since the stove discussion is anyway a complete "feeling decision" and not a really sensible decision, I consider the stove in the corridor "out of place". You want to see the thing, not use it as a "heating replacement," which is pointless anyway with tight building envelopes...

I would free the wardrobe niche from one door. One is enough. Nobody likes to go through a small chaotic wardrobe on the way to the toilet. I consider it somewhat small. As a room itself, it would be sufficient, but not with two additional doors.

The niche doesn’t have a door at all, only the storage room.

I like the floor plan. Are you only planning one sink upstairs? I would definitely choose two if the bathroom is for 4 people.
