Urban villa floor plan, single-family house new construction opinions

Tell me, how steep is the slope? The earth movements can get pretty expensive..

I don't really like the door right at the head of the bed in the current bedroom.

I think the ground floor is better than before, but you have a rather small kitchen island there. Before you settle on it, I would still go into the detailed planning in the ki forum. The kitchen is also looked at critically there :cool:

I definitely also wanted direct access from the dressing room to the bathroom! Does no one here ever walk (half)naked from the bedroom to the bathroom? I don’t want to run into you in the hallway, and ideally not the kids either!

I haven’t followed everything, but is it really not possible to move the guest room to the ground floor and thereby create more space upstairs?

Best suggestion for this thread! Then finally the garage will be shifted a bit and everything relaxes!

Thanks to you too! We both have work clothes to store

You are planning a dressing room upstairs, right? Why does there have to be a storage room in addition to a utility room plus pantry? I always suggest considering storage rooms, but you can also overdo it a bit: Your pantry is hardly usable, the storage room on the ground floor is too big, half of it should be enough for work clothes in some closet meters. Washing is currently done in the least comfortable room... upstairs the dressing room is also a storage room (not meant negatively), same with the office. If you don’t have any other storage rooms, the multifunctional planning is okay, but you are breaking things up too much and planning less functionally. One might think you plan just to check off everything “you could/have to have.” Pantry is on the list “oh honey, the door please in the front,” so it has to be included. “The door is so great from the dressing room, I want that,” so everything revolves around this connection. I see thoughtless Pinterest/Instagram/show home houses here: Passage garage/storage ... is actually quite well placed here, but wouldn’t it make more sense to open this storage room towards the hallway as well and use it as a cloakroom? Of course somewhat smaller, the utility room could then be a bit bigger Kitchen island... what is 130 cm width good for now? Pantry ... is again not suitable for a larger storage room, but yes for other planning Door to pantry... then it must also have a place in the tall cabinet and not between two wall cabinets. Fireplace... chimney on the exterior wall stacks ugly above the roof and the fireplace itself soots the seated people. Also, it is stuck on the front upstairs and massively contributes to the bedroom (or another one) not working there. T-solution... here it is only implemented because of the Ts, but it would be much better if the room had other wall proportions. Roof terrace... also has too high a priority here and obstructs a beautiful house plan. There are too many dependencies in a house plan, which I don’t see here with you, so I don’t see that planning is actually happening here. Rooms are just placed... and yes: garden utility exactly here in the forum - it’s almost deja vu, but not in a good way.

[QUOTE="rothka92, post: 495832, member: 55231"] The problem is on the one hand that the bathroom as it is now is conveniently directly above the utility room and that if the stairs are moved, then the whole ground floor would have to be redesigned. And we personally like it that way - even if opinions here differ greatly - good like this...

It is more convenient if both bathrooms are stacked.

But I think you can at least be flexible in the planning.

That’s how the client should behave :D However, I see with regard to: bathroom location, garage, roof terrace, fireplace, and keeping the orientations in general, it leads to very little: no matter how well walls are shifted - the fireplace will disturb in every respect, the children’s rooms in the east are poorly positioned, and a bathroom with utility room in the southwest is also somehow pointless.

I don’t want to be rigid, just make my ideas comprehensible

Understandable, but we do this more often than you, so we see where a bed could stand or not. It’s a pity, however, that you yourself don’t see how much is just cramped and there are hardly any furnishing possibilities. You yourself don’t see the obvious in your design***

I’m not familiar with the exact measurements -

***

You have so many requirements for the upper floor, why don’t you plan only that first, completely without thinking about the ground floor.

I don’t think that is right. You can take the suggestion as an excuse to warm up to the problem, but then you should also consider: *** ... making concessions that designing houses is not your strong suit. Too many basics are missing that are actually self-evident, hallway > 80 cm, applies partly also between furniture (office), no washing machine fits at the technical connection, there is no flexibility to get more potential out. And don’t go to an architect with that - he should manage with written basics and a conversation. And I’ll give another piece of advice: always plan also for 5 years ahead – preparing completely only for later is nonsense. But if you plan for children, then in consequence. Don’t always Google or look at the same Pinterest stuff, there are too many décor pictures that are made just for the web. Show homes often have features just to sell the house better – don’t fall for advertising. Much is not everyday-friendly, and you can see that in your attempts.[/QUOTE]

Doesn’t anyone here ever walk (semi)naked from the bedroom to the bathroom? I wouldn’t want to run into you in the hallway and at best, the kids!

Yes. But it really doesn’t matter here whether you meet in the hallway or only in the bathroom :D

Garden beer garden

We already had that, that's what's meant. Damn, word recognition doesn't work for me :D

Yes. But it really doesn’t matter here at all whether you meet in the hallway or only in the bathroom :D

I have to say that for us (since the child is already a teenager) it is more of a "makeshift solution." If we were still planning to have children, we would probably have planned a kids' bathroom. A bathroom doesn’t have to be big, better to plan well, save space each time, and have two bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs, I would reduce this to a purely guest WC.
