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!!

For example, I built 140 m² (1507 sq ft), including the basement, but the footprint remains the footprint.
At a scale of 1:100, I don’t think you can tell from the shell dimensions whether it’s 1.20 m or 1.40 m (4 ft or 4 ft 7 in).
But don’t worry too much about it; there are many opinions. Take from them what you think has potential for improvement. Check if the floor plan meets your preferences. If you want plenty of light from midday to evening, all living spaces need to face south and west. If you want evening sun in the upper floor, you need window areas facing north.
Our preference, for example, was for the ground floor to be completely open with lots of window space, and all three children’s bedrooms located upstairs while minimizing wasted space as much as possible.
My plan was also discussed. That comes with sharing your floor plan for discussion.
The slope issue hasn’t been talked about yet either. It’s quite possible your floor plan isn’t suitable for a sloped site, so don’t get too attached to it. If you’re planning a central mechanical ventilation system with outlets in the ceiling of the upper floor, then the floor plan might not work, and so on. A floor plan depends on more than just whether you like the layout.

I feel the same way now. You can't compare a 140 sqm (1507 sq ft) house to one with 160 sqm (1722 sq ft). We understand that some areas might not be ideal (hallway 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in) wide), but there is hardly any way to reduce width anywhere. Exactly. Keep the staircase where you like it.
Change the bedroom, make the kid’s room smaller, enlarge the office. And if, at some point, you realize the living room is too dark, or there’s too much open space between dining area and sofa, and it always feels drafty, then sell and build a new house.

The distance between the two walls of the kitchen and the staircase is exactly 2.51 meters (8 ft 3 in). The clear width of the staircase is 1.00 meter (3 ft 3 in), so there is 1.51 meters (4 ft 11 in) left in the hallway. Of course, the clearance is a bit less directly at the entrance area because of the 90-degree start of the stairs, but only for the first meter (3 ft 3 in) 🙂

How do you even come up with the idea to cut the measurements? I thought you were just a silent reader 😀
