ᐅ Floor plan for a single-family house of approximately 200 sqm designed for 4 people – initial drafts

I put together a rough plan:
Ground floor
--> Practical kitchen island (3.6m (12 feet)) with a hidden pantry
--> Shower bathroom instead of just a toilet

- The kitchen wall (5m (16 feet)) with a window is already planned, featuring a 3m (10 feet) wide island. The storage room functions as a second kitchen area for "messy" tasks.

- We had showers included but after much consideration removed them; now we still have three showers in the house which should be enough (one is still in the basement by the sauna).
- Instead, we made the cloakroom larger.

Upper floor
--> Parents’ area at the front. This way you don’t have to walk past sleeping children. Changed to be noticeably larger and more spacious on the same footprint.

- Yes, that is something I will discuss with the architect! THANK YOU

The facade is not quite right yet either. The house should have a flat roof and then go in this direction:

Your architect will definitely make it look great. Let’s go!

- Unfortunately, this is not possible because the children’s rooms will have a double ceiling to give the kids additional space, which was a requirement; otherwise, they wouldn’t move with us.

Thanks for your suggestions!!!!

What? The kitchen is already installed? Are you building around it or what?

I find the design by @ivenh0 very appealing.
Especially the kitchen including the pantry, etc., would be something special.
A backup kitchen could also be integrated there.

The first option would also be my favorite. However, I find it problematic that the front door opens towards the bottom of the stairs. The open space and the stairs allow quite a bit of kitchen noise to reach the children's rooms. I would have concerns about that as well.

No, it’s not set yet, of course, but my manager really wants the kitchen like that, so that’s why I said “the kitchen is set.”
The idea is “good,” I don’t want to disagree with that!

I might still show it to my manager, but I don’t think anything will change.

- Yes, thank you.
The door will be moved from the window to the wall; I also noticed that it’s not 100% ideal.
- Unfortunately, with the open space, there is very little that can be changed.

Thank you

What is the issue with the bottom of the stairs and the door?
