Hello everyone,

After a long wait, the first floor plan is ready. I would appreciate it if you could take a critical look and give me your feedback.

Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size 643 sqm (7,000 sq ft)
Floor area ratio 0.30
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 1
Roof type Gable roof
Architectural style
Orientation
Maximum height / limits FH 9.0 m (29.5 ft)
Other requirements

Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, gable roof, four-gable
Basement, floors 1, no basement
Number of residents, ages 5 persons (34, 31, 7, 5, 1)
Space needs on ground floor and upper floor
Kitchen, living room, guest shower toilet, utility/technical room, smaller office/guest room
Office: family use or home office?
Number of overnight guests per year 10
Open or closed architecture partly open, partly closed
Conservative or modern design a healthy mix of both
Open kitchen with island, semi-open kitchen with island would be nice
Number of dining seats 6–8
Fireplace No
Music / stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace
Garage, double garage
Useable garden, greenhouse Garden for pleasant evenings, children’s birthday parties, etc.
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for preferences

We would like a larger but semi-open kitchen, as we cook and/or bake daily. The children also like to help in the kitchen.

If possible, I would also like an additional utility room on the upper floor, since all laundry-related tasks take place upstairs.

House Design
Who made the design:
– Planner from a construction company
What do you especially like? Why? Living/kitchen area is nicely large, lots of space for the family
Upstairs a beautiful large play hallway with additional storage space.
What don’t you like? Why?
Guest toilet door is somewhat awkward, too narrow? Hallway wastes too much space?? Where should a proper coatroom go? Entrance area is not appealing? The front door feels too small for the house, the guest toilet window does not fit visually. No idea how to improve this.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: still open / will follow once the floor plan and thus house size is fixed
Personal price limit for the house including fittings and fixtures:
Preferred heating system:

If You Have to Give Up, which details or extensions
– can you give up:
– can you not give up:

Why is the design the way it is now?

What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
Upper floor looks good, entrance area could be better

Would a different staircase allow a better layout?

Thank you in advance

And where will the wardrobe be placed now? Or is the closet in the living room the only one? That won’t even be enough for the two of us...

Could the home office be made narrower? Then the bathroom could be moved to the right, leaving some space to the right of the front door.

To put it briefly: choose one style. Pasta salad and rhubarb pie: both delicious, but not at the same time. Here we have chili con chocolate :-(

I had already thought about the home office as well. But where would the door go then?
@11ant

Regarding the style, you’ll have to explain that to me in more detail. I don’t understand how you can talk about style and especially style mixing based on a floor plan? Please clarify specifically.
