Hello everyone,
I already posted a floor plan in the building costs forum.
There was a comment that the children's rooms are too small.
Yesterday, I visited a show home for a quote and took a look at the rooms there.
I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by the size of the children's rooms, which were about 11 sqm (118 sq ft). So, hardly smaller than what we have planned. It’s hard to imagine the room size just from the paper.
Do you have any ideas on how to enlarge the three children's rooms on the upper floor without completely changing the entire floor plan?
Or if you have any other criticism or suggestions for improvement, feel free to share.
Best regards,
Steffen

Who did the planning?
Personally, I don’t like the exterior of the house: it lacks appeal, looking more like a box with a bit too much going on.
That said, the first thing I would do is swap the kitchen with the workspace to ensure good conditions for barbecue evenings.
Regarding your issue, there are definitely options. Rotate the dressing room and reduce the size of the bathroom so the children's rooms on the left side can be deeper. Narrow the hallway. Also, place the kids’ bathroom on the right side of the staircase.
In my opinion, the staircase size doesn’t match the house.
If I were you, I would abandon this design and start over. Just because it’s dimensioned in detail doesn’t mean it’s the best design worth keeping.
Best regards in brief

The only thing I’m still not completely convinced about are the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor. They don’t look perfect yet.

Move the children’s bathroom to the right side of the staircase.

Building bigger would be a solution, but unfortunately, too expensive.
I have to agree with Yvonne somehow: it looks like a massive block.
Regarding the upper floor and the kids’ rooms topic: why do two people who mainly use these rooms just for sleeping need more space than three children who play in their rooms and sometimes have friends over? I find that incredible (and I’m sure it will spark another discussion soon).
I don’t have any specific suggestions but it’s something to think about. What stands out to me is the space for a 9m (30 ft) wardrobe, a double vanity for two people... and then a hallway that is bigger than any of the children’s rooms. I feel the proportions don’t quite add up.
As I mentioned in another thread, once architects get more space, it seems the actual planning stops.
