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 is the situation if you want to move 1-2 windows by 10cm (4 inches)?
Would that be considered a structural alteration? From the building permit perspective, yes — criminally, in this specific case, I will answer from your draftsman’s defender’s point of view: manslaughter in the heat of the moment; and from a guardianship law perspective, you could be signing your admission to a psychiatric institution!

Okay, fine. No, then it’s not worth it to me.
I thought there was some tolerance of a few centimeters (inches) in construction since it’s only about a few centimeters (inches). It’s good that this change (I’m not even going to ask which window still isn’t fitting perfectly) isn’t quite worth you being overwhelmed after all. Tolerance here isn’t really about a slightly misaligned window, but more about the fact that Ms. Princess on the Pea keeps appearing as a jumping bean for the (if Tim Bendzko didn’t miscount) 148,237th time until she gets stuck. And, if you’re honest, not only we others know this wouldn’t be your last change— not even regarding the windows. Once the new sofa and coffee table are in, you’ll probably bang your knee somewhere and move everything about 6 cm (2.5 inches)—that is, 3 cm (1 inch) off some axis of symmetry. Then you would have preferred the windows moved 7 cm (3 inches) or 13 cm (5 inches) instead of 10 cm (4 inches). But for the outside, 10 cm (4 inches) shifting would be perfect, so your question will be whether windows can be shifted a few centimeters (inches) differently inside than outside—“can you see that?” My suggestion for you to take a break wasn’t a way to get likes, but a sincere concern for your well-being—even though we don’t really know each other from before. That should give you something to think about.
