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?

No, I believe it was a bungalow, and the hallway had two bends to the right that weren’t 90 degrees, but included 45-degree wall panels in between… that’s how I remember it. Dum-di-dumm-di-dumdumdum… does that ring a bell?No – was that a post with 3D presentations?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Wonderful, fantastic, explore as much new ground as possible for the general contractor, so the expert will at least have a lot of sweat on their brow.The general contractor has nothing to do with that. I’m hiring a painter who has been specializing in this for a few years.

The general contractor has nothing to do with that. You have absolutely no clue about anything going on in construction, but you want to throw in some minor subcontracting work into a general contractor project. That’s quite a bold move. You manage to surprise me even more than Gisela in her silver trouser suit, darling. But let’s keep this just between us, you know.

Yes! Could you help me with some more details? – I’m not sure which thread you might be referring to.

Alessandro17 Apr 2020 07:36I agree with you that some 3D programs (especially the free or low-cost ones) sometimes distort or display poorly. However, I am convinced that they help many people, including the original poster, to better understand room sizes, distances, and proportions. My wife also has difficulty visualizing a floor plan. A cross-section view is already helpful.
By the way, our somewhat older stove fitter from the deep Lahn-Dill district created a proper 3D simulation for us without being asked.
I have to honestly admit that this impressed me as a customer because he went that extra step... and that is very valuable in construction!

You have no clue about any detail or procedure in construction but want to mix in some minor subcontracting within a general contract build. Now that’s a tough punch.What do you mean by that? Where do you see the problem? I just don’t like tiles. Why should that be an issue? That’s supposed to be the last step anyway, right, once the general contractor is done? The stairs don’t have any covering either. They will also be smoothed and sealed with microcement, by the same painter.
