Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for some time now, and we are currently planning our floor plan. I would appreciate hearing your opinions on it.
In my view, it is a standard design with a few small special features. We really like it so far and would implement it as it is currently planned.
Maybe you will notice something that is particularly poorly designed.
Thank you very much!!

Clear floor plan — I like it. Of course, it’s not a storage miracle, but I’m sure you’re aware of that.
Only regarding the bedroom/walk-in closet, I have some comments. The bedroom is really tight (with a 2m (6 ft 7 in) wide bed, you have just 65cm (25.5 inches) of space left on each side, which isn’t much), and the walk-in closet takes up comparatively too much space. Suggestion: remove the wall between the bedroom and the walk-in closet and rotate the bed 90° clockwise against the bottom wall in the plan. Then you can have continuous wardrobes along both the left and right walls. This provides the same wardrobe space but creates a much more spacious room.
As for the corner windows, I would be cautious as well. In the kitchen, yes, and the floor-to-ceiling corner windows in the dining area are fine, but for such a relatively small house, I find the corner windows on the upper floor inappropriate. We installed several windows right up against the side wall. It’s technically simpler and looks more coherent from the outside (at least in my opinion 😉). Perhaps this could be a compromise? Here are interior and exterior views:

If you consider breaking up the closet space, I would rather place wardrobes on the left and right walls, then install an 80cm (31.5 in) window on the top wall on each side, with the bed in between. This also has the advantage that the circulation paths would be directly at the bottom of the plan near the door.M
Myrna_Loy21 Jun 2021 10:18I find the walk-in closet in such a compact floor plan extremely impractical because it takes up a lot of space but isn't comfortable. The child has 3.30 m (11 feet) of closet space, and the parents have 6.60 m (22 feet) – that's almost 10 meters (33 feet) of storage for clothes.
From the stairs, you run straight into the closet door. The bedroom feels cramped and doesn't even have space for a chair or a place to set things down. The walk-in closet doesn't either. To me, this would be too inconvenient for everyday use.

Myrna_Loy21 Jun 2021 10:28That can be solved better than with a centrally located hose that offers no storage space and an inward-opening door in a 95 cm (37 inch) wide corridor. Try carrying a laundry basket in there. And then distributing its contents. Ergonomically, that is not practical at all.
