Single-family house - Opinions on our design

It certainly always depends on the specific implementation. But I am of the opinion that options are being taken away. And "small" walk-in solutions will probably end up in puddles where none were planned. I find that impossible to imagine on 4sqm.

105 sqm of living space on one floor and not a hint of spaciousness visible.

Huh, I hadn’t added it up at all – yes, it feels like not much more than seventy. Well, then I’m all the more curious about the ground floor. It almost has to be optimal if "the rest of the shooting festival" is so tangled up. That wouldn’t be the first time that botchery upstairs was related to priorities that were implemented as desired on the ground floor.

Hello, thank you for the numerous responses. Over time, one becomes blind from so many drawings. I have (hopefully) manually marked a few improvements and would like to ask for your opinion before having the drawing modified. I have also uploaded the original drawings including dimensions. Regarding the stairwell: A glass front will be installed on the ground floor and on the upper floor it will be half-height masonry. The staircase is intended to function as a room divider on the ground floor. Thank you for your help.

Hello first of all
Drafts can only be evaluated and possibly changed in their entirety.
Some things are missing here for that.
The upper floor shows that the staircase either has the wrong position or is fundamentally the wrong choice.
The room layout is not advantageous: parents' bedroom, child 2, utility room... almost unnecessarily wasted, unusable nooks in the rooms. Bathroom furniture should be arranged appropriately.

No tips from me, see sentence 1!

Maybe also read the pinned post of mine and fill out the questionnaire before you fill your 40 posts but haven’t said anything yet?!

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?

How can I divide the upper floor better?

Is the entrance on the south side? And what about the upper floor? The stairs are rotated there?

As I already said: I don't think this shape or positioning of the stairs is good, because you have to plan a hallway around them. Therefore, I couldn't make a satisfactory suggestion for myself now.

Next time, JPGs would be better... at least some people here feel like constantly working with auxiliary programs (Acrobat), especially since many access the forum with their phones.

Mobile greetings from on the go
