I would say the furniture layout is quite optimistic. With a width of 3.4 m (11 feet), you will always have to squeeze around the dining table when someone is sitting there. It won’t feel very spacious. The office is also very small — fitting both a desk and a couch in there will be very tight. We have 3.2 m (10.5 feet) in width, and both just fit opposite each other. Even then it still feels cramped.

A 4m (13 ft) wardrobe is definitely enough for two people. I would solve it like this:
This way, you’d have an unwanted makeup/work area in the bedroom, no desired storage room, and the necessary comment about the staircase has already been made 😉

The original poster @Bauwunsch85 has been left speechless in their own thread instead of responding 😕I am currently trying to apply your tips and suggestions and incorporate them into the floor plan. However, the staircase issue is a bit tricky given the house design 😕At the same time, we took the advice and looked at Maxime and Edition (I actually hadn’t considered that provider before), and the floor plan of Maxime 700II would suit our requirements.

The staircase topic is a bit tricky with this house design 😕The house size actually matters even more. Maybe I missed it, but what are the dimensions (length x width) of the house?
If you’re not set on a straight staircase, it’s better to try a different staircase design.
For houses around 200sqm (2,150 sq ft) or less, a straight staircase is always a bit tight. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but it severely limits your options and requires compromises.
You have to consider whether a straight staircase is really worth it for you.

What are the dimensions (length x width) of the house?Currently, it is 9 x 11 meters (30 x 36 feet), and it would make the most sense to plan it along the longer side, but we’re not really happy with that idea.Originally, I wanted a half-landing staircase, but it will probably take up too much space to integrate it efficiently.
