I have attached the preliminary floor plans for our single-family house. I would appreciate any tips or ideas you might have.

Floor plan of a residential building: hallway, staircase, bedroom, children's room, and bathroom.

I still find the children's rooms far too small (!!!).

Good evening,

You are welcome to send me the construction company via private message, as I know all construction companies in Oldenburg very well and can tell you something about almost every one of them, although I already suspect which one is yours. ;-)
Why should the original poster do that?

This is already the second time in a very short period since you joined the HBF that you offer "your help" via private message? Why? Your "experience" will certainly help the other users here as well.

Even if off-topic...
The "second time"? 😕 I can only remember this one time?! 😕
The reason is quite simple: I definitely won’t publicly badmouth construction companies to avoid causing trouble for myself and possibly for the forum moderators, especially when it concerns details and names of employees (as in this case).
As a moderator, you can probably read private messages anyway, so you likely already know what we discussed.

It definitely isn’t, if my intuition is right.

Count again.

Honestly? I’m not even sure if I could. But assuming I could – doesn’t privacy still exist?

P.S.

To my knowledge, the OP didn’t mention anything about their provider?

“Nothing” is relative, by the way, otherwise I wouldn’t have immediately known who the contractor might be.
The OP wrote that the company has been around for 30 years and completes about 150 builds annually. You also participated in the threads where they mentioned this.
If you are somewhat familiar with Oldenburg, you can quickly figure out that only one company fits this profile. And as was clarified in a private message (the OP sent me a PM with the name right away), my guess was correct. 🙂

But I still don’t understand what your problem is...

Exactly – as I replied to you in the email, you will have to be a bit patient.

That’s true, but you should tell Bauexperte that, since he asked me why I’m not registering there... :p

Swapping the utility room with the guest bathroom could actually be a good option. But I’ve always wanted the urinal ;-)

We would like to keep the door in the utility room since it leads to the garage at the back.

We also want to keep the open staircase. Beneath it could be the coat rack or later the dog’s bed.

The island with the breakfast bar in the kitchen also has drawers and is meant for storing groceries, cans, etc.

Laundry should really be hung on a line or drying rack. As long as we don’t have two kids yet, the second bedroom will probably be used for those purposes.

Yeah, the upper floor is a bit tricky. We keep wondering if the children's room sizes will be sufficient. I’m not really worried about the bedroom size. We already live together, and the space with the large wardrobe and dresser is enough.
The office is only intended for a desk and a cabinet to keep papers from being scattered everywhere. The size upstairs could generally be a bit larger. Maybe we should reconsider a larger option than the 134 square meter (1442 square foot) house.

The attic is walkable, but no conversion is planned for now. Where else should the staircase go … hm.

The window in the stairwell is small, as is the one in the guest bathroom.

We would be very grateful for any further suggestions.

We actually consider the sink in the utility room quite useful. We also need to take a closer look at the storage space.
