Hello everyone...
After our first floor plan attempt failed completely, we worked with the architect to develop two more ground floor versions and one for the upper floor. I would like to know which ones you find good or bad, and what you generally like or dislike about the floor plans?! Also, the pantry door is drawn a bit oddly; it won’t actually look like that...

Is there a reason for excessive stockpiling? Or is it just a matter of imagination? Very rural location? Long distance to the supermarket? Otherwise, as far as I can tell, we only keep a few canned goods, like a can of pineapple or something, in the kitchen cupboard. We also buy drinks only in six-packs and store them in the lower cupboard; when we have guests, we keep extra drinks in the garage. In my opinion, in 2017, pantry rooms are unnecessary—everything you need daily fits in the refrigerator with a freezer compartment. Karsten
