Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our house and would like to hear your opinions on our floor plan.
Attached you will find a site plan, a sketch with elevation details (the plot slopes about 1.4m (4.6 feet) from NE to SW), and the current draft of our floor plan.
On the west side is the residential street providing access, which has little traffic. To the north and south are neighboring plots. To the east is a street with slightly more traffic, but still not much.
The house is oriented northeast on the plot so that the terrace on the west side is somewhat noise-protected by the house. The bedroom on the ground floor is intended to be used as an office initially and later as a bedroom.

What bothers me most is the terrace next to the front door. I imagine lying there in a bikini and the delivery person or whoever coming up... Is that the one I brought you last week? – Oh, it’s the blue one, then I’ve won my bet with my colleague.

For example, the kids have friends over, and you can’t walk half-naked through the hallway. They see naked people on the beach who they don’t even know – or do you think everyone goes to the mountains for vacation?

Grantlhaua21 Feb 2020 12:37The hallway between the children's rooms just ruins everything on the upper floor. You already have a huge window by the stairs, so why cram in that tiny window and the pointless corridor? If there isn’t enough natural light, you can use a ceiling spotlight.

The hallway between the children's bedrooms just ruins everything on the upper floor.Or it contributes to enhancing the charm of the renovated historic villa—similar to how the restroom on the way there seems to be designed to resemble one "halfway up the stairs." However, my question remains unanswered as to why someone would aim for this remodeling style. This would also typically include casement windows, preferably with sloped reveals. And in the kitchen, an exposed steel beam support, and so on. Terrazzo flooring in the bathroom... I’m starting to get excited.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

There are certainly many people who don’t mind walking around half-naked in front of others, but I’m not one of them, and sneaking quietly through the hallway isn’t great either. I just wanted to point out that many people with or without young children don’t yet think about how things will be later with teenagers.
Best regards
