Development Plan / Restrictions
The outer walls are fixed and cannot be altered, as this is a condominium/project. However, the interior layout can largely be customized.

Number of People, Age
Currently 2 adults, possibly with children in the future 😉

Space Requirements on Ground Floor and Upper Floor
Desired: 6 rooms:
- Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet
- 2 rooms (1 guest room, possibly 1 children’s room)
- Small bathroom (shower / guest toilet)
- 2 offices
- Utility room for washing machine, dryer, clothes dryer
- Large open living/dining area with kitchen island

House Design
Two designs are from an architect, one is self-drawn.
The patio area is continuous in all versions, located at the lower left and facing south-west.

What do you dislike? Why?
Option 1: Living room too tight, especially around the sofa; office size is acceptable
Option 2: Utility room in the kitchen doesn’t suit us well; covered patio reachable only through the office
Option 3: No direct access to the covered patio

What do you especially like? Why?
Option 2: Large walk-in closet, room sizes
Option 3: Room sizes

If you have to give up something, which details/extra rooms?
Possibly only 1 office

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summed up in 130 characters?
Do you perhaps have a completely different idea for the room layout? How would you best arrange the living room, kitchen, and dining table?

Option 1:

2D floor plan of a house with rooms such as living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom


Option 2:

2D floor plan of a house with kitchen, living area, staircase, entrance and bathroom.


Option 3:

Floor plan of a house with multiple rooms, offices, bathroom and walk-in closet

😉 ... now about load-bearing walls ... can we say that this here:

can basically represent the open space. The blue areas indicate the current toilet waste pipe locations. Or do any walls absolutely have to be positioned in certain places?

Hello kbt09

That’s really moving fast 😉 No, the walls are flexible, even the thick line going into the room at the bottom center is more of a "drawing error."

Of course, you’ll need some walls in the end to keep everything stable, but with more concrete or, if necessary, a steel beam, many things are possible 😉

The most critical area is probably the "former" living space, where there’s a large window wall on the left... But let your creativity run wild.

Best regards from Switzerland

So, could the evening study also be combined with a guest room? Would you prefer a larger home office for conferences?
Is the child already there?
And I probably missed it: is this a modern construction method? Do you also prefer it over the country house style?

The evening study can easily accommodate the guest room. For larger conferences, no extra space is needed since I have a bigger office about 8 minutes away.

There are no children yet, but you know, you always plan for the future 😉

The building method is modern. Here is a picture showing approximately what the exterior looks like, as well as the view from the terrace in the lower corner...

However, I find it hard to imagine that someone would actually change the positions and sizes of their windows and thus deviate from the standard:

Actually, the windows can be moved or enlarged, it just requires a minor building permit / planning permission, which is feasible.
