Hello dear forum community,
My wife and I are planning to start our building project in a few months. It will be an urban villa with approximately 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) of living space. We have already purchased the plot of land (540 m² (5,813 sq ft)) and are currently in the planning phase. We would like to build with a general contractor and are actually quite satisfied with the one we have chosen so far.
However, we are not entirely sure about the floor plan and whether it really works well. This is our first (and hopefully last) building project. We would appreciate feedback from more experienced people who can offer us some tips. Thanks in advance!

Open wardrobes like in US movies have the downside that everything gets dusty. Especially if you need so much closet space, you have a lot of clothes hanging around for months.
A proper dressing room with closed wardrobes, a window, and access to the hallway makes sense if you have enough space.

A proper dressing room with closed wardrobes, a window, and access to the hallway makes sense if you have enough space. Is that supposed to be a "proper" dressing room? That’s a matter of definition—I’d rather call it a walk-in closet. You just place your wardrobe units in a separate room.
I don’t even need a window there since the area is for changing clothes anyway, and something would always hang in front of it. I think this idea isn’t fully thought through.
You close off the room separately with a door, nothing else. That saves doors on the storage units and significantly saves space.
Yes, that is "American," it’s called a walk-in closet. The dimensions in the floor plan are more than sufficient for that.
No one is working shifts here, so the argument about waking someone up is theoretical. It might apply, but it doesn’t have to. So here is my preference for a "contained" room attached to the bedroom, and against locking up the whole upper floor just because the wardrobes have to be separately accessible. I find the forum’s dogmatic insistence on dressing rooms and what "must" be done here a bit too much.

Why expand the width? That would give me even less opening towards the west.ypg schrieb:
You have 16 meters (52 feet) of depth available: make use of it.... for example, by making it wider and then rotating the house 90°, so the north-facing living room would face west.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

What does it mean to have a proper walk-in closet or none at all? I don’t have one.I don’t understand your question.

Why grow wider? I wrote depth! It’s exactly the opposite.

Then I have even less opening towards the west, or am I misunderstanding something? Please read everything carefully.
You should go over everything from the beginning again and really understand it. If needed, try drawing out everything that is being suggested to you here. Because somehow, you’re not just getting advice from me. You’re being given many tips, starting with the furniture layout: just take a tape measure, check your own furniture, and then draw it to scale on the floor plan. Feel free to cut out templates and move the furniture pieces around. That way, you’ll understand it yourself, and everything will go more smoothly.
It only works if you engage with it personally. Without that, it will be random.
By the time the house is built, it will be too late.
