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.

You can put a partition wall like that in a 20sqm (215 sq ft) bedroom. But in your case, it will just feel cramped. Also, try drawing furniture into your walk-in closet. You won’t fit anything in there either. Besides, I also think the layout of the bedroom and walk-in closet is poorly planned.

Coletrickle_78086 May 2020 16:27As I said, I am open to tips and not set in my ways. However, I kindly ask some here to moderate their tone a bit.
I am also not an architect.
I provided two floor plans from the current provider along with the requests for a walk-in closet and symmetrical windows on the front and rear elevations.
These were the two previous proposals I received.
The partition wall was added because otherwise the TV unit would be too far from the bed. Currently, there is 60cm (24 inches) between the bed and this unit.

A very simple tip: draw to scale all the furniture throughout the house. Keep in mind that these are rough structural dimensions. For example, a desired 3m (10 ft) wardrobe won’t fit into a 3m (10 ft) marked niche. Allow for 3cm (1¼ inches) of plaster per wall.
Consider that 60cm (24 inches) might work for you right now, but is that the spatial feel you want? Also think practically: can you still get through there with a walking aid?
How useful is your dressing room? How many linear meters (feet) of wardrobe space can you fit in? Is the investment in square meters (square feet) worth it?
