ᐅ Floor plan design shortly before submitting the building permit application

Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still haven’t decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in child’s room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

R.Hotzenplotz21 Jun 2018 21:09Now one unpleasant surprise after another keeps coming up.
In the office, our desk was always planned against the right wall. This is also shown that way in the detailed construction drawings.
Where it says "DD 35/14 downpipe shifted in ceiling," I always thought there would be a small boxed-in section or something like in other parts of the house. But now there is a thick pipe running from the ceiling straight down right in the middle of the wall. So the desk can’t be positioned as shown in the plans.
What kind of poor planning is this? They apparently want to build a boxed-in shaft for a single pipe right in the middle of the room. Anyone looking into the room will basically see a wide gap with that boxed-in section behind it.
I will try to fix this somehow, but I fear there won’t be any solution. Is it normal to plan something like this and then even place the furniture in a way that you can’t actually arrange it? This just can’t be right!

Um. What did you expect the downpipe running along the wall to mean?
I’m a bit confused.
But yes, it’s unfortunate. However, isn’t it clearly shown on the plan?!
There is also a pipe running along the wall on the left.
It’s not exactly high art. But I seem to recall that the instructions were already given during the floor plan design phase concerning how everything should work structurally and in terms of plumbing.

It’s frustrating that the expensive construction supervisor didn’t catch it either when reviewing the documents. A pipe right in the middle of the room...
I can’t remember if this has already been brought up here. With all the information flowing around, I can’t rule it out. Really a pity.

I’d rather have the electrical plan redesigned and move the power outlets for the desk somewhere else. I’ll just have to redesign the damn room then.
