Single-family house city villa 200 sqm 2 full floors

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time even though the floor plan is impossible to design. The niche in the living room is intended for a TV cabinet. But you are right, about 45 cm would also be sufficient for that, and with a side arrangement of shower, toilet, and washbasin in the guest bathroom, enough space can be created for the guest bathroom.

For the upper floor, we have different requirements that make a different arrangement very difficult. Thank you nevertheless for the alternative suggestions for the room layout.

Children’s room not next to the bedroom
Bedroom not directly next to the bathroom
Access from the bedroom to the bathroom through the dressing room.
Laundry chute in the bathroom via the utility room (lower right area)
Large study (not for an employee but 2 desks for a lot of home office work and 1 desk for hobby work)

My wife has suggested reconsidering point 1 and rotating the rooms again without a proper storage room. What do you think if you only look at the arrangement, would the layout be better? I’m not so enthusiastic because it makes the hallway and shower smaller and the 4 doors in a very tight space (bedroom, study, bathroom) seem very senseless.

My advice would be: forget the Microsoft method of fixing botched work with one patch on top of another patch on top of another patch. The better "bugfix" seemed to me here to crumple up the old plan and create a completely new drawing using the suggestions from the previous discussion. First clear your head of the remnants of the botched plan instead of endlessly (worsening-)improving it as a basis.

And: screw the professional look of a fancy drawing tool. As you can see, that backfires nicely if you use this tool too early.

Even just the scale ruler of the drawing software tempts you to work with concrete dimensions right away. Only once the room layout is on the doodle sheet should you work with measurements at all.

Even better: you do work "concretely," but not starting with the house. Instead start with the stuff that is going in there (furniture, other fixtures/fittings, and the space in between). Draw that first and arrange it as rooms. Not just table and bed and shower, but also the stairs. Then print it out, cut it out, and rotate and shift it around on the table.

By the way, architects work the same way: at the beginning they doodle on napkins and beer coasters, then distribute the masses in 1:200 scale, at 1:100 they discuss concrete measurements and shutters. Only the layman immediately starts doodling at 1:50 scale with 5 megapixels in color and Dolby Surround. Quickly spun around on the computer in all perspectives, the biggest collection of errors feels like a finished dream house. The only true thing about that is the feeling that it’s probably better to discuss it again.

Of course, thanks to their routine in imagining scale relationships, they can do without sliding scraps around – but privately, it's even fun. Like an alternative to a dice game evening with family or friends. Occasionally snapped from above with a phone camera on the table, you can "save" the intermediate steps.

Discussion? I see no discussion! I see an original poster, questions and tips from users, but no response and possibly no implementation from the OP.

Thank you for the hints 11ant but unfortunately we have already moved beyond these steps, precisely because, as listed above, we have a clear idea of how the rooms and walkways should be arranged. It is basically only about the distribution on the upper floor. Whether it is more important to not have children's rooms directly next to the bedroom or to have a comfortable square bedroom.

I’d say, everything is still salvageable – whether you want that, of course, is up to you. I find the youngest upper floor layout to be acceptable.
