What is in the rather expensive basement?

Workshop, small guest room, hobby room (fitness), storage room, laundry room

Here is my constructive input
The pantry should be 1.40 m (4.6 feet):

And where exactly is the problem? I even drew in my 3.2 m (10.5 feet) sofa just for fun. The dining table is also sized at the “upper limit.” If you look online and want three chairs per side, you will often see 1.9 m (6.2 feet) suggested instead of 2.1 m (6.9 feet).

I also don’t find the “overhanging” kitchen problematic. Use underfloor heating and level the entire open area smoothly. If you feel it lacks coziness somewhere, just add some nice rugs.

Best regards

Thank you for your constructive suggestion. I really like it. We will now have timely discussions with the kitchen studio and the architect.

Kitchen door opening the other way

Is there a clever corner door solution?
Here, two doors are positioned very close to each other.

Workshop, I assumed you would use the large garage. There is no natural light in the basement.

With SH3D you have everything you need, you just shouldn’t fool yourself. I measure my sofa at home – 3m (10 feet) – enter 300 under "width (cm)" and that’s it! Or I look online to find the dimensions of this or that kitchen part – then I simply transfer them into SH3D – fits perfectly.

Wow, indeed! The sofa is now 3m (10 feet) long. What you can do with a PC without a pencil is amazing, and tomorrow people will be flying to the moon – unbelievable. *Irony off*

It’s good that at least you have got the hang of it. I have been drawing with software myself for 16 years. And I can tell the difference between 3 and 4 meters (10 and 13 feet) even without measurements. That’s why it’s still more helpful for others to recommend pencil and graph paper when it’s clear that the user doesn’t handle unmarked walls well. If walls are generally given the wrong thickness, and if the user makes no effort to consider plaster thickness, installation details, or their furniture dimensions, it will result in a disaster later on. Therefore, you shouldn’t always assume others are like yourself, but rather give advice thoughtfully and individually.

Hinge kitchen door the other way

I have the same issue myself. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do yet. But maybe I’ll even allow the postal worker a view into the kitchen (as long as the living room, where I watch TV in sweatpants and an undershirt, isn’t visible) and either install no door at all or use a sliding door.
Why? Because in our current rental apartment, we have also taken the living room door off its hinges. We don’t really need it.

That fits perfectly with:

As I said already: with SH3D you have no control over measurements!
I'm out

The difference between you and me? I took a lousy 10 minutes to draw the OP’s living/dining/kitchen area about 95% to scale, instead of spending 10 minutes complaining about how bad SH3D is and why I shouldn’t assume others think like me...

Back to your statements: then help CONCRETELY!!! and not

I think we can close this thread now. I want to thank everyone who provided constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement. We will take them into consideration. In particular, the depth of the pantry and the width of the bedroom will be reconsidered.

If the wall thicknesses are applied incorrectly across the board, and the user does not at all take into account plaster thickness, installation, or the dimensions of their furniture, it will lead to a disaster later on.

With statements like this, the thread is starting to stray. I won’t comment further on this...
