Why has the design turned out as it is? For example:

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?
we look forward to your feedback on the floor plan.

Hmm, do you get used to 77cm (30 inches) doors for the bedroom?
I already thought the 2m (6 ft 7 in) height limit was the reason for the smaller doors. It’s not a big issue, but I wouldn’t really like it. I would keep adjusting the plan until there’s enough space. Staircase oriented upwards on the plan, wider bay window, narrower bathroom, higher knee wall—there’s got to be a way. For us, we now also have 77cm (30 inches) doors in the attic, and that’s fine.
Changes like the knee wall height are no longer possible since the documents are already with the building authority (building permit / planning permission), and we’ve already maximized everything possible.
Attached you will find the furnished floor plans:
Ground floor:
- Kitchen with a U-shape
- Wall in the kitchen removed
Attic:
- Children’s room with 2 furnishing options. We find the left one more practical.
- Door to the master bedroom removed
- Shower size increased from 95cm (37 inches) to 105cm (41 inches)

... yes, then I would move the living room window. It looks really awkward with the sofa like that. So cramped. And since we’re rearranging anyway, the staircase can also be moved a few centimeters (inches) upward on the plan until the door to the dressing room and bedroom is at a 90-degree angle.

Another idea would be to move the TV to the guest room/office wall and rotate the sofa accordingly.

And since we’re rearranging anyway, the stairs could be shifted a few centimeters (inches) toward the top of the plan until the door to the dressing room and bedroom becomes a right angle.Unfortunately, we don’t want to make the hallway any larger.
What are your thoughts on the kids’ rooms? Is the left or right option better in terms of furniture arrangement?

So we now have 77cm (30 inches) doors in the attic, and that works fine for us.However, this is probably a rough structural dimension on the plan, from which about 10cm (4 inches) will still be deducted later...

This is certainly a shell construction measurement in the plan here, from which about 10cm (4 inches) will be deducted later on…That’s a good point, thank you. We will look into it again.
