Suggestions for the floor plan of a single-family house about 175 sqm, gable roof house

so you don't have bedside tables and you have doors next to the head. And sliding doors are rather weak in terms of sound insulation.

Yes, such a solution is possible in the renovation of existing buildings, but please not when you can plan something completely new from scratch... Why do you want to limit yourself like that?

Exactly, that way the bed just doesn't work at all.

I don't think the kitchen space is particularly successful. I find kitchen planning there difficult. As drawn, you end up producing a lot of empty space. And it also firmly locks you in with the corner window combination.

What came out, you can see in the attachment.

You are making a fixed window where it constantly has to be shaded, a bedroom (and living room) into a passage room, and if the partner does not exactly disturb sleep, then it is (here as well as in the living room) a door located behind you, which, because you do not see it, creates discomfort.

Certainly not optimal for the morning routine for everyone.

… not only in the morning, also in the evening or bothersome during the day when ill. And whether in 2 years or 5 or 10 you will still have the conjoined morning ritual is questionable. Especially at your age, changes and discoveries in daily routines begin…

I find the changes to be a case of making things worse while trying to improve them. However, your original idea with the dressing room, which offers more than just the bedroom, is also not exactly brilliant.

The parapet height of these corner windows is quite low at 76 cm, the narrow window is floor-to-ceiling. Admittedly, we wanted them symmetrical to the ground floor. Yeah yeah, I know - from inside to outside…

Yes, but they are not built or ordered yet, right?! You can still change them at the bottom. And the parapets have nothing to do with symmetry. I would clearly adjust a kitchen window to the bedroom window and not the other way around. With the kitchen unit you have many possibilities. And nowhere else do you have it top and bottom. Why especially the bedroom, where you have it rather intimate, like the kitchen, where public exposure bothers less?
Or is it about corner windows? … Symmetry would be if you made the door centered and the windows on the left and right of the frontage the same.

Just go back to the start and to the basics.

No, I don't really want to limit myself. And nothing has been ordered yet. We are just at a point where we don’t quite know where and how to start anew. It’s not that easy when the supposedly finally suitable floor plan is no longer any good. If it weren’t for the forum, we would have probably breathed a sigh of relief that everything fits now and got started. But that’s not the point when so much money is involved. We first need to get organized and consider what the basis should actually be. Presumably, only a completely different floor plan, staircase, etc. would be an option...?

Maybe there is an approach to be seen here? The house is somewhat shortened. Doors upstairs changed. Then the wardrobe can be hidden there behind instead of the bed. (Please see as a sketch... I don't feel like clicking and changing details extensively)


Personally, I think that the Cypress Avenue house, just as you want the changes to the upper floor, is not easily doable - without some more important losses
