Good morning,
we have now received the first draft of the interior layout for our single-family home from our planner, but we are not quite satisfied, as some of our requests were unfortunately not taken into account. Accordingly, we are disappointed because this will be a "life project" for us, and we feel somewhat let down.
It is a terraced house with a total area of 110m² (1,184 sq ft), divided into 2 floors of 55m² (592 sq ft) each. Additionally, there is a basement and an attic, although the attic cannot be used as living space.
In the basement, we want the kitchen and dining area on the south side, the living room further back, which can be closed off with a sliding door to create a potential retreat space. There should also be a small storage room for food and miscellaneous items as well as a guest toilet.
On the upper floor, there is a master bedroom of about 16m² (172 sq ft) with direct access to a large bathroom, two children's bedrooms, and a separate small bathroom.
In my opinion, shifting the staircase might be a good idea, but since we are not experts, we have fully relied on our planner so far.
Another meeting with him will take place in the next few days, and perhaps you have suggestions and input that we could bring up concretely.
Thank you very much in advance!

If you place the sink at the back, you will spend most of the time with your back to the room and facing the wall; the sink is used much more often than the stove. That’s true, I use the sink more often than the cooktop. For me, it’s more important to consider on what occasions and at what times I use each. I also spend more time in bed than on the sofa, yet the bed doesn’t face the south-facing ground floor terrace.

And casually standing at the stove chatting only really works when you are cooking pasta and ground meat. But what about when you’re having a shared breakfast with eggs, grated dishes, or pancakes...
Or when preparing several courses fresh and you don’t want to lose contact with your guests...
Or when you get distracted by conversation and quickly whip up some leftovers...
Or when you prefer to show off your cooking rather than your washing-up skills...
And so on...
There are good reasons for placing either the sink or the cooktop in the island (or both if the space allows—which is not the case here or in my own home), but there’s definitely no “better” or “worse” option.

And seen it? No sign. I have also been paying close attention to houses/properties for about 20 years now.My old residential area:Thanks for all your suggestions! 🙂
We had also considered a kitchen island open on both sides, but our concern was that there wouldn’t be enough space for it. For us, the cooktop will definitely be on the island, and the sink will be at the back because most of the dishes go straight into the dishwasher anyway. That’s decided for us, but thanks again for all your ideas and input 😉
I understand that you can do without a fireplace. However, we live at a higher elevation, about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) in South Tyrol, where it can get quite cold in autumn and spring. Having the stove lets us save a lot on heating costs during those times since we can heat the house with it (which is also why we see open spaces as an extra benefit).
I’m designing the house for myself and my family, not based on occasional guests who might come for birthdays. I would never put a beer bench in my house, let alone in the living room with a wooden floor.

A wood-burning stove only functions as a heating source to a limited extent. It heats up very quickly and intensely but also cools down just as fast. If you expect a heating function from the stove, you need a masonry heater, which involves additional costs and requires space—unless you can use the entire wall between the cloakroom and living room as thermal mass. In that case, the extra cost will be significantly higher.

The extra cost will then be correspondingly higher. Firewood is not an issue. The plan was to install a storage stove, as is common here. In my opinion, the designated space should be sufficient; we have already seen many apartments and houses where the storage stove had exactly these dimensions.

(Everything looks the same!) And the houses are only as wide as a typical car is long. 😳 Here, the phrase "living on the stairs" fits perfectly.
