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?
1.2 m (4 feet) for a double door seems too small. I would rather choose a standard 1 m (3.3 feet) door with a small fixed glass panel next to it.
Wouldn't it also be possible to have a large sliding glass door that slides parallel into the kitchen area? That way, you wouldn’t have the issue of the door being in the way. We are getting something similar, but with a fixed glass side panel. Griffwerk Planeo Loft

That means everything above needs to be redesigned.I would take it exactly like that.

Unfortunately, I see the wrong priorities in the design.The original poster doesn’t just unfortunately have the wrong priorities – they also have to change them like underwear. Shiny86 schrieb:
I didn’t know the stair storage room could possibly be accessible from the kitchen.You’re not serious, right (???)Crossy schrieb:

I’ll throw a completely new floor plan into the mix:No, not new. We already had that last week – and I said that even without adjusting for the larger house depth here, there’s “enough” space in the hallway for your piano and Schnute’s sewing machine.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
