Hello everyone,

I am not completely satisfied with the entrance area in our floor plan yet.
I am considering removing the window in the cloakroom and instead adding a door with a side panel of about 50cm (20 inches).
Would the side panel be better positioned on the left or right side of the front door?
And would you change the direction in which the door opens?

Best regards

If there is a side panel, then place it on the left and keep the door hinge on the same side.

Note: if. As planned, it is properly designed and, in my opinion, even looks better.

The window facing the garage bothers me a bit... I’m concerned that hardly any light will come through because the distance to the garage is only 2m (6.6 ft).

Moving it 75cm (30 inches) closer to the door doesn’t make much difference; however, it fits as planned.

Another question: Where will the utility connections be located?
