Thank you very much for your replies, I’m very happy about them! In the next few days I will present the planned renovation with the extension, the complete floor plan, photos, etc.

For your information regarding the height of the steps and the gallery, attached is the cross-section. It was also important to me to have ground-level access to the garden, but of course it won’t be used very often, especially at this time of year. Not only that, but there is a one-way street passing by next to the property, which is used a lot by pedestrians and cyclists. If we had planned the extension higher, we were afraid that people would have a very good view into our living area. That’s why we’re going to plant a hedge, and I think that will keep us rather private.

Planning the staircase a bit wider is a very good point. I had already considered perhaps making it a wider seating staircase or something similar next to the steps, as you often see in gardens. The downside is that in the dining room we hardly have room for a cozy seating/laying area for the children.

I would definitely keep that as an island. You have enough floor space at the bottom of the plan, and it’s nice when a kitchen island can be walked around. And 240 cm is absolutely sufficient if only one functionality (cooking or washing) is planned. I am more of a sink-island fan, because then you have the free choice of extractor hood and can, above all, install a good ventilation solution on the wall unit via a short distance.
