Exactly
Do the bathroom windows have a sill?
The window on the east side has a sill, since this is the street side and visible. On the north side, I am still undecided between floor-to-ceiling and sill. Floor-to-ceiling wouldn’t matter, as only a footpath runs along there.
I like the clarity of the design and the relaxed implementation of the wishes.
Dirt from children in the living room? Every terraced house resident knows that and gets along quite well with it. (About that, the crime scene cleaner says: “Dirt is just matter in the wrong place.” Then a resilient floor is installed there, such as bamboo parquet or tiles.
Kitchen not directly on the terrace? With a bit of imagination you can give the kitchen a garden access, if necessary with a few steps and a small herb garden next to it.
Hallway upstairs too large – maybe. However, you can still need storage space in this house; the hallway is suitable for that. Put in cabinets.
Rooms upstairs are not generously wide but by no means “tube-like.”
What construction method is the house supposed to be built with?
Thanks for the feedback. It also took a long time before we could implement our wishes in a design. It would be 3 m to the terrace. If I still wanted to install a single-leaf floor-to-ceiling window there, I would have to build a privacy screen on the south side, since the neighbor’s house entrance is there. The hallway size is due to the straight staircase; I have already tried to get the best possible out of it.
The house is to be built with aerated concrete. Load-bearing walls in sand-lime brick and, if necessary, the wall of the cantilever staircase in
The stair start to the basement is in the dining room. A 1/4 turn with a half-height wall or a wall with decorative windows in the upper area would help – that creates coziness.
The cloakroom somehow does not appeal to me. Relatively a lot of space and still hardly anything fits in. If you put more opposite the closet, it quickly looks cluttered. I currently lack the idea off the top of my head.

The elevations should be reviewed. Otherwise, I like the design quite a bit.
The stair start to the basement is at the entrance door. The start to the upper floor is in the dining room. Since the basement is not living space, I intend to build it with a clear ceiling height of only 2.20 m, making the stairs a bit shorter and so you do not run directly into them at the entrance. I also still have some concerns about the cloakroom and no approach for improvement.
I will submit the elevations soon.
I would place the cloakroom against the interior wall and make it larger as a half-room, better conceal the WC door.
I would rotate the stairs 180 degrees.
I would probably make the utility room accessible from the hallway and place the tall kitchen cabinets on this short side. I would forgo the base cabinets at the bottom of the plan and instead install a panoramic window or terrace door so that you are outside while cooking.
Upstairs I would still do quite a bit to the bathroom: move the door, position the toilet by a window, coordinate drainage with the guest toilet...
As I said, we don’t like the cloakroom yet either. Thanks for the tip. We had already considered a utility room door in the hallway and that is generally possible. As you say, we would gain space for tall cabinets. Terrace door in the kitchen is also possible, but as mentioned, a privacy screen would have to be erected since the neighbor’s house entrance is there, and we want a bit of privacy. The argument for direct garden access instead of taking the small detour is indeed very strong. I will submit the planned downpipe layout.
Thanks for the abundant feedback
