Finally? Every home construction company uses this arrangement. But whatever.
I'll take a stand:
The hallway is far too large at over 18 sqm. However, your staircase is drawn too small; it needs more space, at least a staircase flight of about 220 x 250.
I find the wardrobe too small for 4 people. I created a thread about this in the last few days. THE LIST!
I'll also include the utility room in the criticism, which is nicely large but can only be accessed through the living room and kitchen doors. The utility room is the most central room in a house and must be accessed several times a day. So it's not suitable to go through living space and have to use two additional doors frequently—very cumbersome, especially when handling laundry.
I find the window areas or sizes insufficient for an airy living atmosphere. The sofa drawn certainly does not correspond to an acceptable size or seating depth and suggests a larger living room than it actually is.
Upper floor: hallway too large. Staircase already mentioned.
Toilet position below the 2-meter line and must be adjusted with the other bathroom fixtures. The washbasin does not correspond to a realistic measure for a family bathroom. 4 people: 2 washbasins. And a proper shower instead of a corner space-saving shower. Bathroom door, like the office door, should open inward. There is no reason to deviate from the rule.
Bedroom: draw a realistically wide bed. In old age, you want more space and need enough clearance space on the sides. So get rid of that brown thing, then it fits.
Plan a nice big window in the staircase flight. If you want a double casement window, don’t worry about cleaning—it’s washed by rainwater running off.
For the remaining rooms (also applies to the lower rooms), take wider windows. At least 160 cm, preferably double casement up to 2 meters.
Almost 20% hallway is too much. Storage room upstairs is good. Think about wardrobe (cloakroom). Make utility room more accessible. Widen windows and furnish the bathroom.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I didn’t manage the hallway well either upstairs or downstairs. That will still be improved. I had read your thread "the list". I liked it and had to think about us in many places.
We wanted both the washing machine and dryer to be in the storage room on the upper floor and also in the utility room. As long as we use both floors, washing will be done upstairs; if we get very old, we can use the connections downstairs and wash only there. You are, of course, right that the utility room is not optimally accessible. However, it can’t be improved without losing space in the utility room and the wardrobe in the hallway. I also discussed this point with my wife because it would also provide more cupboard space in the kitchen and we could design the kitchen differently. We came to the conclusion that this is the best way for us to do it. Once the floor plan is redrawn by BU, we will look at the point again. If the utility room is still that big, one could consider it then.
The sofa has the dimensions of ours. It is actually a bit small for 4 people.
We will design the bathroom later.
Regarding the bedroom: the brown thing is supposed to be a piece of furniture of ours. Since we have it, it is included.
I see plenty of opportunity for façade windows along the staircase and in the knee wall.
Okay.
The garage is quite narrow; given the width, I would take a carport.
Garage and carport in a row is nothing. After the 5th "Honey, move your car, I have to go," one parks somewhere else.
True, that’s why there are 2 parking spaces next to it.
