Single-family house with basement and double garage 9.2x11m floor plan optimization

I would also skip the second door to the bathroom with this floor plan. Instead, definitely place the bedroom door into the walk-in closet. The path from the walk-in closet to the bathroom through the hallway should be possible and makes it easier to furnish the bathroom more sensibly, plus you get more wardrobe space in the walk-in closet. And, I agree with ypg here: place wardrobes on the exterior wall (this also works better without the additional bathroom door).

Sliding doors can be nicely integrated into the wall, but that costs more (I hope you are aware of this). In the living room, I would then have them slide into the wall behind the TV sideboard. In the kitchen, you could then put cabinets where the sliding door currently runs (if desired, but as I said, I don’t find the kitchen design that great overall). A regular door would also be possible for the kitchen.

I find the kitchen suboptimal as it is, but doable. What would be an absolute no-go for me are only 80cm passages into the dining/living area. That’s just too narrow. I currently have that in my rental apartment as a passage between the kitchen unit and the dining table. It works, but for heaven’s sake NEVER in my own house!

I also don’t find the position of the fireplace ideal. Not necessarily in the upper floor; you can create a nice built-in shelf/cabinet there for the child, but in the dining/living area it just stands there like it accidentally fell down and was then left there.

No east-facing windows but instead north-facing windows – that wouldn’t happen to me. I assume the facade design was the decisive factor here. Therefore, I would also be interested in an exterior view.

As a layperson, I can’t say anything about the static structure, and I think with appropriate beams almost anything is possible. Is it planned as solid construction or wood? Usually you can do more with wood. The question is whether it makes sense.

The view of the mountains from the upper floor hallway is a nice gimmick, but honestly: I don’t think it will be used much (e.g., for reading there). You have the view from your bedroom daily. I would rather want to have the mountain view there (if you like, also from the bathroom when lying in the tub). In the hallway you’re pleased when you come up the stairs, but it won’t be much more than that. So reflect and consider where the beautiful mountain view makes more sense.

Stairs: quarter-turn going down, straight going up??? Does that work out with the height?

I looked at the dimensions in the kitchen again. That won’t work. The depth of the countertop is specified as exactly 60cm, but I would expect a real measurement of at least 65cm, which will make the passage even narrower. So either shorten the peninsula or do without the 50cm deep cabinet on the wall.

Dining table measuring 2m x 0.8m? Do you already have it or is it planned? If it is still in the planning stage, I would definitely make it wider, then you also have a chance to place something in the middle. There is space for that. We currently have a dining table 85cm deep, and it is difficult to fit a serving plate with roast, etc. between two opposite seats. I would take at least 1m width (and for reasons of proportionality, perhaps make the table a few cm longer).

You have a large living area and only 15 steps marked, so I assume you have low ceilings. I would reconsider that because it doesn’t look good in a large room.

I don’t think the approach is bad, the most important tips have already been mentioned.

What I also notice:
The entrance hallway has a direct line of sight to the living area. Although it still goes around the corner by 3 meters, it seems to me that the cozy evening atmosphere is lost if there is no door or something similar.

I would move the front door within the hallway upwards according to the plan. It is very impractical when you come in and immediately hit the stairs. Don’t worry about the bathroom door. It is very unlikely that both doors will be used simultaneously.

I find it a bit of a pity that the cloakroom area is so long and narrow. It hardly makes sense to put a mirror somewhere here. You would stand with your nose against the glass.

The rooms upstairs are all sufficiently sized and okay, but the generous hallway takes its toll. For me, the whole thing is a bit neither fish nor fowl. Although the hallway is huge now, it still doesn’t create an extra cozy reading-gallery corner but rather just a tunnel. It will be difficult to bring coziness into this. Apart from that, the children’s room door should be moved to the left according to the plan so that the interior designer at least has a chance to put something on this fleshless viewpoint place.

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 kids had locked it but forgot to unlock it when going out.

You just collect all the keys and done. Whoever locks bathroom doors has no emergency doctor in their circle of friends.

I looked at the dimensions in the kitchen again. That won't work. The depth of the countertop is specified as exactly 60cm,

Some measurements are calculated very tightly and only fit in the shell construction (which would have to be made by the precision mechanic).

Stairs: quarter turn downwards, straight upwards??? Does the height add up?

I share that doubt.

but in the dining/living area it somehow just looks like it randomly fell down and was left standing there.

It stands there because of the sliding door rushing past to the horror of the cat.

You collect all the keys and that's it. If you lock bathroom doors, you don't have an emergency doctor in your circle of friends.

there.

In new buildings, turn bolts are installed on bathroom doors so that they can be easily opened in an emergency (e.g., with a coin).
