Hello, what do you think of the floor plan and what could be improved or changed? Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks
It could be adjusted for better quality, for example brighter, larger, or sharper 🙂
Yes, that's what I thought: Viebrockhaus is unmistakable 🙂 Just without any surprises and the staircase placed where it shouldn’t be.
Where is the wardrobe? Where will you keep jackets, coats, and shoes easily accessible for 4 people?
And again: why is the kitchen there and not swapped with the living area?

Are there any (glass) walls planned for the shower? I think the passage between the shower and the sink is too narrow.Upstairs or downstairs? The walls are made of glass.
The hallway on the upper floor is very cramped. It’s impossible for two people carrying items to pass each other there...
And yes, how do you access the shower on the ground floor? Where do you put your belongings (clothes, towels, etc.)?
But as I said, the staircase design just doesn’t work. It’s better to start over.

YPG, why shouldn’t the kitchen be where it is? We arranged it similarly in our home. It’s a four-gable house, and the kitchen is located in one of the gables. The living and dining area extends along the full width of the house on the side. Only the staircase and the other rooms are arranged differently.

I don’t like this hallway on the upper floor. It’s long, narrow, and dark. Unfortunately, many people still think that hallways are wasted space. But that’s not the case. Our upper floor hallway has enough room for a wardrobe, a shoe cabinet, and a mirror. I would remove the small hobby room and simply make a larger hallway here or separate it from the hallway with a half-height partition wall. That would make it feel much more open.
The dressing room will be quite dark, so you’ll need artificial lighting even during the day to see properly.
For child’s room 1, you don’t have a good spot for the wardrobe. Either you bump into it as soon as you open the door or the window gets blocked. As nice as large windows are, windows and doors should always be planned with a clearance of 65cm (26 inches) from the wall, so there is still enough space for furniture.
Do you have a basement? If not, the utility room will be quite small. If the heating system and washing machine are in there, there won’t be much space left for anything else.
I also see a problem in your living room: you always have to walk around the table to get to the terrace. I find that very impractical, especially with children or when you have gatherings.
As for your guest toilet, I would move the door to the opposite wall. That way, you’d create a nice niche along the hallway wall for a cabinet or coat rack, and in the guest bathroom, you’d have the option to add a cabinet or some hooks behind the door for towels and bathrobes.
