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.

I would (and will) completely skip the closet in the dressing room and instead install a boutique shelving system (e.g., Ikea Elvarli, but there are surely other, even more stylish options elsewhere). It feels airier than having solid wardrobes on both sides, and the whole room is essentially a closet anyway. However, I would definitely want to include a full-length mirror where you can see yourself entirely, regardless.

So, should I avoid a sliding door wardrobe and instead order a hinged door wardrobe with internal mirrors? Or would you recommend implementing the single-wardrobe solution I suggested?1. Sliding doors protrude the most toward the front. If space is tight and there is a parallel arrangement:
It’s better to choose hinged doors, possibly with one pair of mirrored hinged doors—that should be more than enough.
2. You could also use wardrobes with standard dimensions and have a carpenter add profiles and panels at the top and sides to fit the wardrobe to the wall. Since it’s an exterior wall at the top and skirting boards, door frames, etc., also require space, the solution will likely be around 2.50 m (8 feet 2 inches) in length plus some extra. An airtight, custom-sized installation would be too risky regarding ventilation in a damp new build.
We have a walk-in closet just like yours. On both sides, we have two 2.50m (8 feet 2 inches) white high-gloss PAX wardrobes, and it doesn’t feel cramped at all. The space between them is exactly 1.12m (3 feet 8 inches). However, we opted for hinged doors because they are simply easier, quicker, and quieter (silent) to open.

I wouldn’t choose sliding doors. I find that the cabinets look bulky.
Maybe on one side, avoid a 60cm (24 inches) deep cabinet and opt for just 40cm (16 inches) instead.
Loosen up one side a bit with drawers at the bottom and shelves at the top for handbags, a jewelry box, or a watch collection.
