House design
Who is the planner: developer
What is liked in particular? Straight staircase, living/dining room, hallway on upper floor
What is not liked: wardrobe, shower/WC; cellar layout
Preferred heating technology: district heating (requirement!)

If you have to do without, on which details/upgrades

Why is the design as it is now? Developed together

The hallway on the upper floor is desired, as a reading corner or with the best view of the mountains, therefore desired!

Question: good ideas regarding wardrobe/office/shower-WC, possibly optimize kitchen layout, optimize cellar layout. Better layout for bathroom on upper floor

Basically suggestions/improvements welcome!
Of course also constructive criticism!

Alignment?

Turn stairs;
Bedroom door into dressing room, wardrobes towards the back

Hey Ypg,
Orientation: living room/bedroom facing east ...
The staircase is like that on purpose because we don’t want people to go upstairs through the living room...
By cabinets to the back, do you mean in the dressing room? That there should also be cabinets on the back wall? I completely agree with you!!
Thanks a lot!

Are there also views?

I find some approaches very nice. :) But a few points are inconsistent or I can't imagine them.

The bedroom faces east but doesn't have an east window? Here I would probably remove the north window and place the bed there instead. Instead, an east window. This also has the advantage that the room door is not immediately next to someone sleeping and there should then also be space for a bedside table.

Make the dressing room accessible accordingly at the bottom of the plan. I am missing dimensions here, but the space between the wardrobes is probably too small / two nearly floor-to-ceiling wardrobes will feel a bit overwhelming.

I always find two doors into the bathroom difficult. If the shower doesn’t have a door, the area in front of the toilet will always be a bit wet.

I find the number of corner windows structurally interesting. More important to me, however, is the external impression. So little wall could feel somewhat unusual and too airy (even unpleasant). But that is a matter of taste...

What I don’t understand at all so far: is the door from the hallway into the living room built into a wall? How does everything work with the fireplace – will something be cladded there? By the way, I find the chimney flue positioned quite poorly on the upper floor.

I also have two children and I would know 100% that I would constantly be standing in the dressing room in front of the locked bathroom door because the children would have locked it but forgotten to unlock it again when going out. When they are small, they might not lock it yet, but by the time puberty begins, the bathroom door is locked. It is also always annoying to lock and unlock two doors again.

Best regards
Sabine
