ᐅ How to modify a floor plan?

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

The passageway looks relatively narrow.
That could be a critical point.

Yes, you’re right, maybe it’s better to accept that one child—perhaps the smallest one—gets just a small room of 13.8 m² (148.5 sq ft). The other two rooms would then be roughly the same size. Unfortunately, the square meter values are not correct here. It’s a software error that doesn’t subtract the wall thickness. You always have to deduct about 13%.
Well, it’s still not ideal. But perhaps you can gather some ideas and then discuss them further with the architect.

In my opinion, the main issue upstairs is the kids’ bathroom. It would work better if the two bathrooms were next to each other and the staircase switched to the side with the main entrance. Here is a sketch to show what I mean. This would mean that the ground floor would need to be adjusted accordingly, which doesn’t sound impossible to me. However, almost all the rooms would have to be redesigned.
Just a thought.

You did well with the upper floor [emoji1319]
That’s how I described it in post #3 from me [emoji2]

However, the parents’ bathroom didn’t get much approval

Sometimes no other staircase works at all, and now suddenly it does?!

I understood it more as that another staircase wouldn't be unwelcome, but so far no alternative staircase was believed to provide a significant improvement in comfort (beyond the standard of a “staircase in the parents’ house”).

However, it didn’t really catch on with the master bathroom

And even if the world falls apart, I’m not planning to put the washing machine and dryer in the bathroom.

Pretty long dark hallway upstairs, do we have the possibility to bring in light from the roof?
