Single-family house – new construction project from day one - and the planning begins

A fireplace should crackle, super HD sound is counterproductive

Just a heretical remark on the subject of panorama fireplaces: I do like Porsche, but I also know what a "car rental" is. By the way, there are also such things for classics – in case someone thinks, oh no, they always have the newest one. Thanks to this blessed invention, I can be quite satisfied with my little Opel in everyday life. You can do the same with building: rent a fireplace every year on your wedding anniversary, each year in a different city with a hotel suite bundled. From the money saved, you can go on vacation in between, and at home, you have the fireplace area (with spark protection zone hardly less than 3 sqm) for a little dance with your spouse. One would have to be able to play the piano...

Of course, you can also completely forgo building a house and spend 600,000€ every year in the most beautiful resorts...
Even the costs for a pool, which is also not often used, can be spent on nice vacations for years.
A fireplace, whether used a lot or not, is always a highlight!
If everyone always went by the cost/benefit factor, no one would have brand clothes, no car more expensive than a Dacia, no smart home, no gallery or everyone would have a 120 sqm house where not a single square meter is unused and where you can start the coffee machine directly from the couch.

Open spaces, galleries, fireplaces, pools shape the style and the feel-good factor of a house, which is why they simply belong. Useful or not is debatable and does not matter.

: Very nice! The sideways TV would really annoy me, though, especially if behind it there’s a large window area that probably needs to be darkened for a pleasant picture.
With the garden, I would be outside 90% of the time anyway.

Advantage: short walking distance from the kitchen to the terrace, larger living room

Disadvantage: small kitchen, bathroom without window, longer walking distance from the living room to the terrace

I don't know if the fireplace on the upper floor would also fit since I am not familiar with it. The chimney pipe must not be directly behind the fireplace in this variant but rather on the right side next to the stairs

If only, if only bicycle chain...

We are just big fans of functional and cozy niches. I think the current design reflects that well.

That could have been managed in #115 as well.

The pantry being accessible through a door in the kitchen unit is a "no-go" for us. However, the pantry should still be directly accessible from the kitchen, which brings me to the next point

That could have been done too. Now you have a pantry that’s not walk-in... a proper freezer doesn’t fit anymore...

We don’t like the position of the stairs. We would prefer them on the other side. Otherwise, if you stand in the hallway, you basically stand directly in the kitchen. The stairs should therefore serve as a room divider between hallway and kitchen

You constantly forget to draw the wall on the stair side, then you see, if you also think of a door to the utility room, the corridor (despite the glass)

Overall, the floor plan is too large. Currently it’s 190 m². But we would prefer around 180 m²

It would be 180 if you had compressed the house depth a bit. Then you wouldn’t have had square rooms either.
By the way, I don’t see where you mirrored anything.
I agree: a lot of useless space below. The remaciere will be a decorative object, and see who will be...

Sorry, my pad only had 1% left... now I don't remember what I wanted to write anymore

Sorry for bothering you but what kind of floor do you have? Very nice in any case.
