ᐅ Townhouse Floor Plan – What Do You Like and What Don’t You Like?

The ground floor will then be 2.45 meters (8 feet) and the upper floor just under 2.40 meters (7 feet 10 inches)...

So, as I’ve already mentioned above, small errors are easy to fix. You can swap the walk-in closet and bedroom if you really insist on having your air vent there. I find the air vent in the hallway and entrance area unnecessary and would rather set up a reading nook there instead.
The house is spacious and works well.
But honestly: that nice kitchen floor area ends up with a work counter only 3.60 meters (12 feet) long... once you subtract the stove, sink, and space for kitchen appliances, you’re left with a usable work surface of about 1.20 meters (4 feet). I think that’s quite minimal and far too little.

Don’t you cook often?

P.S. Ah, it’s supposed to be extended – somehow I completely missed that.

I also wanted to comment on the windows: I always think it looks odd when the exterior walls on the left and right sides are quite narrow next to the outer windows.
From your perspectives, this isn’t obvious.
Also, the front view is almost symmetrical but just slightly off, which creates a visual imbalance.

That would be a disaster for us and was not mentioned during the discussion.

Thank you very much for the helpful suggestion. That definitely makes sense and has already been implemented (see attachment).

Indeed, that’s true. The kitchen wing is simply wider. I wonder if it can still be balanced symmetrically?!

In addition to the work surface, when needed (e.g., for baking and big cooking projects), the kitchen table—at the same height and made of the same material—can be added. That is sufficient for us. The kitchen countertop will also have a depth of 75 cm (30 inches).

Do you have no information about the floor structure?

Now move the window in the dressing room so that wardrobes can also fit along the wall shared with the bedroom. I always calculate with a Pax wardrobe size including sliding door of at least 66 cm (26 inches), ideally 70 cm (28 inches).
-------------------
On the ground floor, I had thought that there would be a sliding door between the kitchen and dining area. As shown in the new floor plan here:


this is actually more of an open passage. And if you don’t sit at a small table (as drawn), but at a table measuring 180 x 90/100 cm (71 x 35/39 inches), there won’t be much space between the chair and the stove. This could become an uncomfortably hot spot.
Regarding the kitchen layout... the table as described will probably only be usable on the lower side of the plan, since the walkway on the upper side is intended for working. For a kitchen of 16 sqm (172 sq ft), I think the design can still be optimized.

And where is the terrace supposed to be located?

That is very diplomatically put. So far, the space doesn’t bring any benefits, just long walking distances. And it acts like a resonance chamber if the homemaker likes to sing.
