The utility room is very small; I would make it larger.
The whole area is a bit dark; I would add more windows.
Swap the bathroom and bedroom; itâs easier for drainage.
Does this work structurally? There are few walls on the ground floor.
Donât you need storage space, an office, a guest room, or a utility room?

Well, then I wonât hold back on criticism and will start with the entrance on the ground floor, which is too narrow. There is no space in the hallway for a coat rack or shoes, but with four residents, you need plenty of both, and guests will want to come as well.
You could consider moving the door to the kitchen so that a built-in cupboard could be placed there, but the kitchen also has issues. At the very least, there should be a window in front of the sinkânatural light, which is very important, is missing throughout the entire house.
Then I wonder if there are enough kitchen cabinets for four people (we have planned more for two people... and have three meters (10 feet) of wall space in the freezer room for cabinets for all the appliances, an additional refrigerator, and storage). The stove needs countertop space on both sides for pots and such. Plan the kitchen island to be at least 150cm (60 inches) wide; otherwise, it will feel very cramped. In my opinion, you can make better use of the 17 sqm (180 sq ft).
I donât know how a heat pump is designed, but if it is a box, your freezer room wonât be walk-in. Is there no controlled mechanical ventilation? You also donât seem to have planned for an electrical cabinet? An electrician needs 150cm (60 inches) of clearance in front of the electrical cabinet (I read somewhere that a freezer room should be at least 180 x 220 cm (70 x 87 inches) in size). Where will the laundry be dried?
So, the essentials are kept very small and almost unusable, but the living area is planned very generously.
Upstairs, the hallway is very dark. What knee wall height do you have? We have 130cm (51 inches) and already know that we will push the bed forward so we can sit up in bed. The wall in the bedroom is necessary for the TV, but somehow it is still inconvenient. I see a width of 270cm (106 inches). Where will you store all your winter clothes, extra blankets, scarves, etc.? How do you get in and out of bed? At least 310cm (122 inches) should be planned for a proper wardrobe and easy access to the bed.
The bathroom should also be planned carefully to be functional. The passage between the shower and bathtub looks too narrow, and the toilet is positioned in the middle of a 2-meter (6 feet 7 inches) lineâwhich means it should be moved. Will you always keep the bathroom window covered with curtains? I donât understand these floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom... Also, in my opinion, these windows let in less light than a wider window with a sill (like in a childâs room).
When I imagine the house from the outside, it seems somewhat âsoullessâ because there are few windows. Windows are often called the eyes of a house and should also contribute to its appearance.
I would extend the kitchen island to 2 meters (79 inches) and place it crosswise so you can sit looking out the window while cooking. Also, move the staircase towards the kitchen direction, so the entrance and bedrooms upstairs feel more comfortable. The living area could be smaller, but I donât know if that wall can be moved, as it might be load-bearing. The freezer room definitely needs to be bigger!
The biggest issue I see is the lack of storage and work surfaces.
Does the construction company not have an architect to point these things out to you?
