Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your feedback on the attached floor plan (not a house!).
I know this is a house building forum, but maybe someone still wants to help.
Since it is a new build, the floor plan can still be changed.
Where do you see needs or weaknesses in the floor plan?

Here are the changes I am considering:
- Change the shower bathroom to a guest toilet (see picture below), advantages: private access and more closet space behind the bedroom door possible
- Include a shower in the bathroom, possibly omitting the bathtub

The stairs behind the dining table lead to another roof terrace on top of the building.

I like the design with the living room and bedroom swapped, without the guest bathroom the best. Since you obviously have the top floor as well (right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the roof terrace), it shouldn’t be a problem to end the soil pipe planned for the guest bathroom on the 5th floor. This way, you won’t have any water noises in the living room and bedroom from toilets above, because there aren’t any.
My only criticism is that you have to walk through the living area from the bedroom to get to the bathroom – but one has to accept some compromise, and this one seems the most acceptable to me. However, I would make the bedroom a bit larger at the expense of the living room, otherwise the space for the wardrobe will be really tight. Is the window in the living room floor-to-ceiling or does it have a standard sill height? That might allow you to arrange the sofa differently (personally, I don’t like the sofa placed right in the middle with your back to the entrance).

Only the living room is exactly the same size Rainer Zufall? – I understood it to mean that the shape was identical as well, which is quite rare statistically when comparing different properties.

Would it be an option to completely skip the guest bathroom?
Honestly, as a guest, I wouldn’t want to be sitting on the toilet right next to the couch. Skipping it or tiling it is a matter of personal taste.
I almost objected, since you would be sitting right next to the downpipe anyway – but judging by the roof terrace, there probably isn’t another apartment above, so only the boxed-in area for the vent pipe would be needed here. That doesn’t make much noise.

It could possibly look like this. Yes, is that possible?

If I were you, I would just try rotating everything. You could also keep the bedroom there and swap the living room and kitchen. Or try something else.
You can also leave out the restroom at the bottom of the plan and instead design a small utility room or back kitchen there. Or place the bedroom in the east, the dining area in the west, and the kitchen at the bottom left of the plan... Just experiment with all the options.
