Hi, attached is a floor plan for a townhouse (142sqm (1,527 sq ft)).
What can be improved here? How can the upper floor be optimized in relation to Child 2’s room?
All windows on the upper floor are floor-to-ceiling and located in the same positions as on the ground floor.
On the ground floor, for example, I would create an opening from the kitchen to the hallway opposite the floor-to-ceiling window.
1. This would save having to go through the living room.
2. It would allow natural light into the hallway through that window.
Additionally, I might consider moving the fireplace closer to the living room.
- This would make the walk-in closet more usable; it would probably not disturb Child 1’s room.
Regarding Child 2’s room, the only idea I have is to incorporate the hallway space. Child 2 would then have the wide floor-to-ceiling window, but the hallway would lose its window entirely...
I’m really at a loss here.

This was the original... the only thing bothering us here is the staircase.It started the same way for @Shiny86 about eight hundred posts ago—following the seemingly harmless approach of slightly optimizing a originally functional floor plan; it also began with the staircase, and then the domino effect took hold. Eventually, a trivial downpipe beside the sofa abruptly ended the LSD trip, but since then the Damocles sword of symmetry still hangs by a thread over an unsatisfactory cloakroom without a key bowl. And if they haven’t given up, they’ll still be unsure tomorrow which of the French doors leads back out of the fairy tale forest. Do you want that?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Take a look at the many floor plans available online first.
