House Design
Who Designed it: Architect from a construction company
What Do You Like Most? Why? Side driveway to garage, direct access from garage to house, separate apartment concept, open ground floor design, upper floor is perfect in our opinion, gallery
What Do You Like Least? Why? Living/dining area is somewhat too large (wife worries it may be hard to arrange cozily), bedroom window position in the separate apartment is tricky, (north entrance → long access route for guests)
Preferred Heating System: Air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic system + battery storage
If You Have to Cut Back, On Which Details / Extensions
- Can be cut: Office on upper floor, a few square meters in living/dining area
- Cannot be cut: Remaining room program
Why Has the Design Turned Out As It Is Now?
The room program was provided by us. Furthermore, many requirements and the plot itself influenced the design.
Why Was the Drawing Created in Sweet Home 3D?
The architect’s design is drawn to scale but not dimensioned, so I transferred it to SH3D.
What Is the Most Important / Fundamental Question About the Floor Plan, Summarized in 130 Characters?
What do you think of the floor plan? Any ideas on how to make the large living/dining area feel cozier?

Thanks in advance for the feedback. We are still not 100% satisfied with the entrance situation, but it is definitely much better than before. As shown in the sketches in #21, I already find it much more successful than before.

It would help us more if there were concrete suggestions for improvement along with the feedback. In that case, larger images would be helpful, I think.

Having the images a bit larger would be helpful for this, I think.Here you go:

Small vestibule.
Straight ahead is the hallway/coat room area,
to the right is the entrance to the secondary apartment.
The cellar wall of the front room is shifted to the left. This way, you can create a coat area to the right in front of the stairs.
The living area of the secondary apartment is a bit larger as well. Not sure if it will be easier to furnish. The apartment will be quite dark; will it be approved as living space?
On the ground floor, kitchen, pantry, and office swap places, as well as living and dining areas. Possibly align the living room-wall to end flush with the stairs.
Upper floor:
I haven’t come up with the right solution yet. Is there a reason why the walk-in closet is so large?
I think there’s an imbalance if the bedroom plus walk-in closet are larger than a child’s bedroom.
Does the staircase need to be straight?
I would place a child’s bedroom where the walk-in closet is now. Then both children’s rooms would have nice, bright, and sunny spaces.
Remove the gallery.
Left side: children’s room and bathroom.
Right side: children’s room, walk-in closet, and bedroom.
Both children’s rooms slightly larger.
The gallery becomes an office.

Entrance to the granny flat on the right
Basement wall of the front room moved to the left. This way, you can create a wardrobe area to the right in front of the stairs.
The open living space of the granny flat is also slightly larger. Not sure if it’s easier to furnish though. The apartment will also be quite dark; not sure if it will be approved as a living space like that.

Upper floor
I haven’t found the right solution yet. Is there a reason why the walk-in closet is so large?
I feel it’s disproportionate if the sleeping area plus the walk-in closet is larger than a child’s bedroom.
Does the staircase have to be straight?
I would place a child’s bedroom where the walk-in closet is now. That way, both children’s bedrooms have nice, bright, and sunny rooms.
Remove the gallery.
Left side: children’s bedroom and bathroom
Right side: children’s bedroom, walk-in closet, and master bedroom.
Both children’s bedrooms slightly larger.
The gallery becomes an office.Yes, that’s an idea, at least parts of it. You shouldn’t lose sight of other options just because last week’s design was satisfactory; rearranging can eventually be considered good to very good.
However, I still see the issue with the light in the granny flat. The ceiling heights are unknown.

Remove the gallery. You really don’t need this opera box inside the house. The irony is, you add so much insulation to the ceiling between floors as if your own upper floor were the enemy, and at the same time you build this huge chimney for the breath of the Chinese dragon. Supposedly to make it easier to call kids to dinner, who at a certain age don’t obey anyway.
But it feels like this open space often becomes the main support of a “modern, open” design. And for the homeowners, it’s a heartless blow when someone says: this is not art at all, it can go.
