What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
- Where could it still be optimized? Would you recommend different window dimensions or sill heights?
- What do you think is poor or what would you do differently?
- A partition wall will be added in the walk-in closet. That would theoretically allow watching TV from the bed. I am considering a lightweight wall. I plan to place a 211cm (83 inches) Pax combination wardrobe in the closet. The closet is planned with a raw width of 218cm (86 inches). Do you think 218cm is enough for the Pax once the walls are plastered, or how wide should the rough dimensions preferably be?
- Is the hallway on the ground floor too narrow?
- Would you raise the ground level? The house would be 40cm (16 inches) below street level. If I build a terrace into the garden, it would be about 1m (3 ft) difference. You could raise only the house level, resulting in approximately 1.6m (5 ft) difference between terrace and garden. I don’t know anyone living below street level. Raising the garden would probably not be allowed without permits, and affected neighbors likely wouldn’t agree. On the sides of the house adjacent to neighbors, raising is permitted only up to certain limits. I am overwhelmed with the decision.
- Do you have any ideas for arranging the sofa differently and placing the TV sensibly? My husband doesn’t want the sofa back facing a window. I still need to get used to placing the sofa in the middle of the room.
- Is the kitchen size sufficient for a nice kitchen with an island?
What do you think about the floor plans?
Exactly, they have long poles and can clean a few meters above your heads. And can you not climb onto the carport roof then? Besides, the window at least from the inside does not get dirty from fingerprints or anything like that, so cleaning it once in a blue moon is probably enough.
Ah, okay. I thought they would bring a special ladder that they can also climb to open the window. Do you have windows that open or glass elements?
I’m not sure yet what the carport will look like and how it will bear loads or whether it can be climbed on.
Will the stairwell be too dark for us if the window starts only near the top? It’s not a long window that extends across the entire stairwell. It only starts on the upper floor at a sill height of 90cm (35 inches).

It only begins on the upper floor at a sill height of 90cm (35 inches).I’m not quite sure where exactly it is supposed to start. Only on the upper floor? Maybe it extends a bit lower? But I don’t think it will be too dark. Of course, you could also have the window run the full height, but then the staircase would be visible from outside.

A laundry chute might be interesting. But what bothers me is that you can’t clean the pipe—how is cleaning done?Pinky0301 schrieb:
