What you’re probably underestimating is the noise that will reach Leo’s room. A distance of 2 to 3 meters (6 to 10 feet) isn’t enough to reduce the unrestrained sound from the open living area (there isn’t even a door) unless you install a solid-core door for his room. On top of that, there’s all the traffic noise right outside his door. In comparison, your bedroom will be much quieter.
Before you keep trying to tweak this setup, why not take a look at Danwood and other builders to see if you find a floor plan you like? That way, you can step out of your tunnel vision and allow for fresh ideas.

This way, you can get out of your tunnel vision and allow more new ideas in.I was just about to suggest the same. Have you already looked at the standard floor plans from different home builders?L
Lemming&F26 Jun 2019 15:56Of course, at the beginning we searched the internet for floor plans, but one of us always had some complaint. Eventually, we gathered our ideas and tried to put them on paper.

The bathroom in the current utility room would again be far too small. I don’t like that overall. That can be adjusted. Paper is patient.

The bathroom can also be used by visitors without everyone at the dining table hearing the flush. That is prevented by the building structure.

Danwood would be my choice as well. Scanhaus Marlow now also has nice floor plans.
Moving or removing one or two walls creates new spaces.
Unused hallways could be used to install wardrobes. A 3-meter-long (10 feet) hallway uses less space than your walk-in closet.

Something like that is adjustable. Paper is patient.That’s one of the reasons I am here, among other things. We will, of course, discuss everything with the architect, but input from the forum definitely helps with brainstorming.

You prevent that through the building structure.Do you mean more heavily insulated walls and soundproof doors?
ypg schrieb:
You can also change the details.Yes, of course, but maybe we lack the eye for it. I haven’t seen a floor plan where only minor details stood out to me. Except for our own, but that may be subjective.
