Hello everyone,
we are currently working on optimizing our floor plan and hope to get some good advice here.
A special focus is on the fireplace, which still does not meet our expectations. We would like to move the fireplace further east so that it is better positioned between the living room and dining room.
This would create a nicer room atmosphere and highlight the fireplace as a central feature between the two rooms.
The problem is that the chimney stack on the upper floor would then block the closet space in the master bedroom and also obstruct the door.
We are facing the challenge of finding a solution that considers both the fireplace on the ground floor and the room layout on the upper floor.
Does anyone have ideas on how we could solve this problem? Perhaps by relocating the doors or redesigning the hallway?
Maybe you have had similar experiences or creative approaches that could help us.
I look forward to your suggestions and feedback! I am attaching the floor plan so you can get a better idea.
Thank you in advance!

Hi, why is that? What stands out as a problem? No designated space for wardrobes in the bedroom. The bathroom with a bathtub is only accessible through the bedroom. That’s going to be tricky with teenagers who might want to use the bathtub with their first partner, possibly in the middle of the night.

It could, for example, end up in the wardrobe, and then the shower would shift slightly toward the top of the plan.
Where exactly is the mentioned east?
And if the chimney above is removed from the bedroom, you won’t have any more closet space. Who is that supposed to be enough for?
You’re planning the bedroom as a walkthrough room, which I would definitely change.
Where will the technical installations go?Hello, thanks for your ideas.
I had already considered placing the shower there at the top, but because of the door, that unfortunately isn’t possible. I also thought about extending the ceiling of the ground floor / the floor slab of the upper floor over the last step, which could create more space for the door, but according to the architect, that isn’t feasible.
North is “up” in this orientation.
Since we want an attached master bathroom, the bedroom has become a walkthrough room.
The technical installations will be located in the basement.

Hello, thanks for your reply. The "issue" is actually the chimney, or rather its placement..
So that the chimney has an appropriate path in both the ground floor and the upper floor.. Even if it isn’t located there, it still doesn’t give you enough space for a proper wardrobe. Such a chimney is about 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 inches).

This will be interesting with teenagers who might want to take a bath with their first partner, maybe in the middle of the night.The wardrobe space in the bedroom would be on the wall where the fireplace is currently planned. So right now, we have a 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wardrobe and then the chimney.
Well, when I was a teenager, I didn’t use the bathtub with my partner at my parents’ house... the shower in the kids’ bathroom will definitely be enough for that.

Well, as a teenager, I didn’t share the bathtub with my partner in my parents’ house… the shower in the kids’ bathroom is definitely enough for that. Judging by the measurements, you currently have 2 m (6.5 feet) for the wardrobe. Without the chimney, maybe you have 2.5 m (8 feet). Is that enough for you?
And when you enter, you basically walk right into the wardrobe.
Our boys liked doing that. They live here too and have the same rights as the parents.
I always find it strange to deny kids a bathtub.
But that wasn’t the question, and of course, it’s your decision.
Otherwise, maybe like this:

Hi, why is that? What stands out negatively?You have to pass through narrow doorways in all the rooms. Do you already have three children? Then you should be concerned about the furniture layout in the children’s rooms—especially for child number three. The rooms are furnished like a hotel room, with a single bed, desk, and wardrobe. What about all the other stuff children usually have? Or play area? How flexible is the furniture? On the other hand, your wardrobe space is very, very limited. You have so much room, yet it still feels cramped.
