Hello dear homebuilding community,
a user from another thread suggested that we share our house plans/floor plan to get possible improvement ideas.
We are at the beginning of our planning phase and are currently deciding on Heinz von Heiden.
The size of the house is based on our wish to have 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the upper floor.
We basically like the standard floor plan. There are a few changes we want, such as a larger utility room, a closed kitchen, a shower in the guest toilet, and a smaller living room.
We would really appreciate tips and suggestions.
Below you will find a summary of additional information.

Actually, the bedroom is large enough to accommodate both a wardrobe and a bed. I would convert the dressing room into a utility room. In detail, I agree with you, and this also applies to several other individually reasonable suggestions. However, on the whole, I share the opinion of the previous commenter and, as already mentioned, I do not consider this basis improvable for the simple reason that it fundamentally misses the point of the original poster’s actual needs. You can only improve something that is at least heading in the right direction. But in Mexico, there are no roads leading to Rome, so all efforts are in vain.

Do you already own the plot? Yes, the plot (without elevation details) is parcel 90 in the almost hidden attachment of post #6
