Hello everyone,
we are currently working on our floor plan and are starting to get a bit frustrated.
We have now had an optimal floor plan created for us.
We are very satisfied with everything except that the child II room feels too narrow.
The depth in the entrance area (child II) is about 2.5 m (8 feet 2 inches). The depth in the lower section is about 2.37 m (7 feet 9 inches). For comparison: child I is approximately 3.58 m by 5.0 m (11 feet 9 inches by 16 feet 5 inches).
According to our draftsman, this is due to the fact that, according to the current DIN standard, stairs must have a minimum tread depth of 260 mm (10 inches). This makes the staircase significantly longer than in the floor plans we previously reviewed.
Maybe someone here has a good idea on how to still improve this situation.
We appreciate any suggestions.

From my point of view, a bike shed or garden shed would also be sufficient for the bicycles.And where would that be located with access from the street? That’s always the key question.Another thing I noticed is storage space. The bedroom only has about 300 cm (10 feet) of closet space, not much else available on the floor. I’m thinking about suitcases, seasonal clothing, bedding, towels, cleaning supplies on the upper floor, etc.
On the ground floor again, the kitchen is as far as possible from the southwest terrace 😉

The stairs in the floor plans we looked at earlier were about 3.7 meters (12 feet) long. Our staircase would now be over 4.3 meters (14 feet) long, and that completely ruins the entire floor plan. 🙁When I calculate the stairs for my home with a ceiling height of 2.60 meters (8 ft 6 in) and a floor-to-floor height of 2.88 meters (9 ft 5 in), that comes to 16 steps. So that’s 15 steps × 26 cm (10 inches) = 3.9 meters (13 feet).The extra 40 cm (16 inches) actually benefits the floor plan.

The 40 cm (16 inches) really improve the floor plan.Why do you think they do?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Why do you think they would do that?If the entrance or exit has more space, that should be somewhat better. The original poster said that the staircase with 4.30 m (14 ft) ruins his floor plan.hanghaus2023 schrieb:

The original poster had said that the staircase with 4.30 m (14 ft) disrupted his floor plan.If they have more space, that is better. But if they would need more space, that is problematic.Unfortunately, such situations (where the floor plan suddenly no longer fits within the building envelope because the staircase length was miscalculated) rarely lead homeowners to any insights. Instead, they usually end up posting in a forum asking, "Could you please light a candle for us, so that three times three is miraculously seven this time?"
