House design
Designed by:
- Planner from a general contractor: GC according to our requirements
What do you particularly like? Large hallway, master bedroom “soundproofed” from the children’s rooms
What do you dislike? Why? Bathroom still too large, enlarge master bedroom. Walk-in closet with only one door and separate entrance to master bedroom.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 290,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: Pure house cost GC: 280,000 EUR
Preferred heating technology: Gas with underfloor heating

If you had to give up on details/extensions, which ones?
- Could you give up: Velux window in the bathroom, sauna
- Could not give up: Walk-in closet

Why has the design turned out as it is? For example:
Standard design from the planner? --> Visiting show houses, the modified floor plan feels open and friendly
What makes it especially good or bad in your opinion? Separation of master and children’s rooms. Large living and dining area. Large hallway.

What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are the children’s rooms too small? Is the bathroom too small if the master bedroom has its own entrance door?

The bathroom wouldn’t be my choice at all. As soon as you enter, you visually encounter walls and it continues like that...

Great We had the same opinion and therefore lowered the door.

Please share more of this

What does "the door set lower" mean? Into the walk-in closet?

Contrary to the attached file, the staircase will now also be executed with a half-turn.
Advantages: More space in the dressing room, door from the dressing room to the bedroom, space for furniture in the hallway

Great. We thought the same and positioned the door downward.

Ah, okay... the dressing room becomes smaller as a result, and the door to the bathroom can be relocated...

I would make sure that the exterior door in the utility room is positioned 70cm (28 inches) away from the wall, so that a closet could fit there if needed.
I would enlarge the office at the expense of the living room.

The window above the entrance does not suit the house.

I agree with Yvonne. Also:
Why does the utility room door open into the hallway in front of the living room door? I would change that.

I would reduce the double door to the living room to a single door plus a fixed glass panel, so that a cabinet can easily be placed next to it.

No kitchen island? A shame considering the size of the kitchen – it looks quite bare and empty. If you do include one, the patio door would need to be covered.

The bathroom layout will need to be revised with the offset door – is there already a plan for that? Will the bathtub be removed?

There will definitely be one.

Yes, it needs to be refurnished. I agree with Katja on that.

We have revised quite a bit and have now finalized everything, meaning it has been signed.

Attached you will find the latest floor plan.
Do you have any ideas or comments? --> Minor changes are still possible.

--> The kitchen is not shown correctly; it will be a U-shaped layout.
--> The double-leaf door in the living room might get sidelights and will be changed to a single-leaf door, also because of the light switches.

Thanks in advance.
