Hello everyone,

My brain has been overloaded for days with the following question: "Is the utility room too small?" It is 6.8m² (73 sq ft).
My plan is to place the controlled residential ventilation and brine pump along the left wall, and the dryer and washing machine along the right wall.
The electrical panel is planned to be moved to the garage.

Do you have any useful suggestions for shifting walls?
The guest room / senior bedroom must be 3.2 x 3.5m (10.5 x 11.5 feet).

Yes, it is definitely very tight. Do you have ventilation? Possibly use windows only as skylights, then you could still use the wall...
Make sure to position the door so that the "shorter" wall still has enough depth for the typical equipment (~65 cm [25.5 inches]).

Where is the utility room?

102 bottom right of the plan, "HA room". That’s basically all there is.
I’m having a similar problem. No idea yet how to really solve it...

Thanks.
Move the stairs further to the left on the plan. The children's rooms upstairs are relatively large. The open living area can handle that.
The small utility room will cause frustration. Also, the technicians will furnish it in the way that works best for them, which won’t align with your detailed planning anymore.

Currently already adjusted: right side depth to 65cm (25.6 inches), window sill height 165cm (65 inches), sliding door changed to a standard door, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, supply and exhaust air through the floor slab (“air well”). Room is located in the southeast (102).
