If the entrance through the garage is used frequently, having a wardrobe in the utility room definitely makes sense. For guests, the niche near the office works well.
An open wardrobe in the hallway looks unattractive, but if planned well, I find it suitable in the utility room or a closed room.
We also have a T-shaped bathroom and we think it’s great! We would definitely do it the same way again.
I would also place the wardrobe outside the utility room, somewhere in the entrance area. In my view, the niche for the office doesn’t make much sense. Why not have the door flush with the wall in front of the stairs?
Other than that, I really like the design!

I don’t understand the corner in front of the office. Also, the large open space with the recess on the upper floor is unclear to me. If the main bathroom is meant to provide access for the children, that’s okay, but otherwise, it seems like a waste of space, doesn’t it?
To make the rooms on the ground floor a bit more “rectangular,” maybe take a look at something like this:
But you’ll need to measure whether the kitchen and dining area will still fit, or plan it with actual furniture.

If the access through the garage is used frequently, having a coat closet in the utility room definitely makes sense. For guests, the niche near the office would work.
An open coat rack in the hallway looks unattractive; I find it better planned in the utility room or a closed space. I’d like to see space for a coat closet in an 11m² (118 sq ft) utility room. There also needs to be storage space and a washing machine, plus room for the building services equipment.
I wouldn’t want to have to go into the utility room just to get a jacket. Of course, there are those who have their utility rooms nicely fitted out with kitchen cabinets and so on, but in most utility rooms (including ours), it usually ends up with shelves filled with all sorts of stored junk. So it’s usually not very visually pleasing, which for me makes it not appealing enough to go in there daily to grab my jacket.
The proportions just don’t work for me.
We’re talking about 190m² (2045 sq ft) here, so compromises like this shouldn’t be necessary. The open-plan living area and large hallway cover almost 75m² (807 sq ft), but there’s hardly any space left for a decent coat closet.
Everyone is free to have their own opinion, but this wouldn’t work for me.
There’s a lot of wasted space here—especially the entire lower part of the plan below the living room and the area between the living room and kitchen near the space marker is completely unused. You could call that generosity, but there’s a serious shortage of space elsewhere because of it.

Alessandro23 Oct 2020 10:33The niche near the office makes a lot of sense. Everyone needs a sideboard or chest of drawers for keys, the house phone, slippers, and a guest coat rack, etc. I think it’s good that it’s not placed in the middle of the hallway, which would otherwise narrow the space.
The same applies to the upper floor. These are spots that can be nicely designed with a bookshelf, chest of drawers, illuminated artwork accompanied by a small decorative table and chairs, a large plant, and so on.
Such niches add character to a house and offer many possibilities. They always look much better than having a cupboard placed directly in front of a plain wall.
