ᐅ Floor plan question: Replacing a straight staircase with an L-shaped staircase

11ant schrieb:

So you want to move the bedroom door to the end of the walk-in closet, where the exit zone for the straight staircase is still in the way. The purpose is a shorter sprint to the "Child 2" room at night, I can follow that – but what does the ground floor have to do with it?
I would rather suggest swapping the functions of the walk-in closet and the "Child 2" room while K2 is still a baby...

It’s more about the fact that when you are in the living room and then need to go upstairs to the bedroom, where the baby is still staying at first, the distance is quite long.
So it’s about shortening the walking distance from the ground floor to the bedroom while the baby is still in the bedroom. I know this will all change eventually. But I would just like to know if it can be modified without complications, if wanted.

I have mentioned before that for discussions about stairs, it is helpful to know the entire ground floor and upper floor plans. Perhaps the staircase could simply be rotated 😉

Kerstin already pointed out the tightness. So I would recommend moving the front door about 40 cm (16 inches) downwards on the plan, which would make the guest room a little smaller.

Probably not, I already gave the source of the house design: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-175qm-satteldach-ohne-keller.45056/

@11ant ... honestly ... then it should be discussed there. If someone creates a separate thread, I expect either the information to be provided in one post or at least appropriate links to relevant posts with the latest floor plans included in the question. I’m not going to dig through a thread to find the most recent floor plan status.

But I would just like to know if it would be easily changeable if desired.

Is the baby already here, for whom the entire floor plan is being changed? Either way, I would seriously consider whether it’s worth rearranging the whole house layout for a phase that only lasts a short time. Babies are very individual; who knows if the situation “we’re in the living room, the baby sleeps upstairs” even applies to you? Many babies are very clingy. Then there are ours, who don’t care about anything and just want to sleep peacefully. For both types, you don’t actually need to go back and forth constantly. If they’re really still at an age where you have to constantly attend to them—mind you, mine is now 4 months old, and that phase is already over—you usually keep them with you all the time anyway, because anything else hardly makes sense. Long story short: Planning ahead for baby behavior and needs is almost impossible. The high-maintenance phase lasts less long than you might think.

You don’t need to bother looking for floor plans. The old ones are no longer up to date, and my focus was explicitly on keeping the hallway width as it is. That means all other rooms and details remain unchanged. The only question was whether an L-shaped staircase is possible with the hallway width. For that, the complete floor plan is not necessary.
