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...

Ev-Marie8615 Jun 2017 12:49Yes, that’s the plan. Appointments have been scheduled at two kitchen showrooms.
Between the wall and the window, there should ideally be at least 65cm (25.5 inches) of space to allow for placing cabinets behind. I would suggest moving the patio door slightly closer to the cabinets. This also looks elegant → a walking space of about one meter (3.3 feet) next to the tall cabinets leading to the terrace. Possibly a U-shaped kitchen countertop above?
For the double doors leading to the open plan room, I would personally limit the side with the tall cabinets with a proper wall. This way, you can hang a calendar or pinboard if needed, or install light switches there.
Best regards in brief

I would remove the floor-to-ceiling windows in the children's room alcoves and just install regular windows. This way, the desk can be placed directly by the window, allowing more free space in the room. I would only make them two-part windows, meaning only the top part opens, but I wouldn’t do without the translucent lower section (possibly frosted glass).

This draft will become the construction plan. [...] So the kitchen needs to be finalized now, not sometime later. And here too: take scissors into your own hands sometimes, don’t just let others design everything. Measure the existing kitchen. Keep a notepad next to the toaster/coffee machine. Write down what would work better differently.
Also, for the lower alcove: windows only open at the top. Patio door where the window currently is in the kitchen corner. A proper dining area in the alcove and get rid of the cereal bar at the kitchen island. Kitchen shaped like a U, possibly stepped, with the tall cabinets on the wall towards the guest room.
More input and “my” bathroom gladly when you collaborate more.

Ev-Marie8615 Jun 2017 16:28I always work with... Still, I think you can’t compare the kitchenette in a rental apartment to the kitchen in a house... I only have a single line now... it’s definitely not enough... Otherwise, I already have some ideas of how I want it to look... but I like getting advice and inspiration at the kitchen showroom, and I don’t see anything wrong with that... What bothers me at the moment is just that it’s too small... Otherwise, it’s good... it’s a new apartment from 2012, so it’s very modern and well equipped, and I also know that you’re not a fan of those drawn-in fake furniture pieces... you’ve mentioned that before.

It’s too late when the real space exists, and only the fake furniture fits in. Then you go to the kitchen showroom and order a kitchen with the wrong dimensions because you built the matching house to fit it.

If you shift the patio door by about 20/30/40, you create an imaginary dividing line for your kitchen. This should be used as a guideline... based on the dimensions, I estimate that a nearly square island would fit best.
Many people here oppose placing the stove on the island due to cooking odors and prefer stove placements along the main counter run. Placing it next to the patio door would work well here, because I see the island dimensions at around 1.20 x 1.20/1.30 meters (4 x 4/4 ¼ feet). A stove on the island would look odd in that space and the areas to the left and right would go to waste.
Just a suggestion.
