Hello everyone,
We are currently finalizing the floor plan of our house, and we keep running into a dilemma with one corner that we are still unsure about.
It concerns the wall/door between the hallway on the ground floor and the living/dining/kitchen area. It is important to us that the hallway and staircase are separated from the living space by a door. Attached you will find the floor plan as the wall and door are currently planned. What bothers us is that there is no direct access from the kitchen to the pantry. In red, we have (very professionally ;-) ) planned an alternative, but here we see a conflict between the door and the staircase. Also, we have not yet come up with a good option to have the door open into the living area instead of the hallway, without it getting in the way there.
The door cannot be placed on the other wall facing the kitchen either, as the kitchen cabinets would block that space.
Therefore, our question to you: Do you have any good ideas on how this could be solved?
Thank you in advance and have a nice evening!

As I see it, you have a fundamental issue with the floor plan and space.
Living, dining, and kitchen areas are about 30 m² (320 ft²) – is it really that much? The more compact the floor plan, the more skilled the designer needs to be.
A pantry under the stairs is impractical. And it’s not 3 m² (32 ft²) either. That’s the total area beneath the stairs, but you can’t fully use it.
How far along is the planning? Is this supposed to be just the final refinement? Wow...
If I see the living area right in front of the (expensive corner) window...
Please show everything: ground floor/upper floor…

The living area is approximately 41 m2 (440 sq ft), and the huge living area will not be like that. This is still just the furnishing proposal from the architect. This is really just about the final adjustments to that one wall/door, as we are very happy with the rest of the floor plan.

Is there any reason against a sliding door (running inside the wall)?Thanks for your suggestion! It would be possible inside the wall where the TV is currently located. However, it doesn’t solve the problem of the missing direct access from the kitchen to the pantry. A sliding door to the stairwell would be nice, but unfortunately, it’s not feasible 🙁Zealtose schrieb:
