Dear building experts,
After many serious setbacks, we are now planning a "town villa."
Using some of our experiences, original floor plans, and input, we have developed a floor plan.
I don’t want to go into too much detail, just this...
We are in a difficult situation, we can’t expect much support from the architect, and I urgently need your help!
I put a lot of effort into the drawing, but after all, it’s just a drawing.
I would like to get your opinion on the proportions and dimensions.
The windows have not been detailed yet and are only roughly placed for now.
Do you see any other potential in the layout?
I am unsure if the proportions in the bathroom are an advantage for the space or a critical mistake...
The plot faces north.
There is a small residential street at the front, neighbors on both sides, and meadows and forest at the back.
I am completely new here and ask for your understanding regarding any mistakes.

If you have to give up on any details or features
- What can you give up:
- What can’t you give up:
I see no potential to give up anything; a walk-in closet is necessary due to different sleep rhythms and shift work schedules
Why was the design created as it is now? For example,
A mix of many sources, magazines, internet, own ideas...
What makes it, in your opinion, particularly good or bad?
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters or less?
What do you think about the proportions and dimensions?
Does the arrangement and layout make sense to you?
