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!

But the chimney is not aligned between the ground floor and the first floor.I know. But this is roughly how it could work. In the living room, it would be about 50cm (20 inches) further to the right.

Our general contractor rejected integrating a chimney into the wall at the time, saying it would cause cracks.The architect should be able to manage that.
I’m sure it could be done even more elegantly.

Integrating a chimney into the wall was rejected by our general contractor back then because it would cause cracks.What I find even more advisable to avoid are splices in the area of the ridge beam.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

You have to pass through narrow doorways in the rooms everywhere.
Do you already have three children? Then you should be concerned about the furniture layout in the children's rooms—especially for child number 3. The furniture consists of a basic setup with a single bed, desk, and wardrobe. What about all the other stuff children usually have? Or play areas? How flexible is the furniture arrangement? Your wardrobe space, on the other hand, is very, very limited. You have so much space, yet everything feels cramped. Thank you for your reply.
What exactly do you mean by “narrow doorways”? Could you please explain that in more detail?
Yes, we already have three kids.
So far, the architect has only placed the furniture like that as a rough idea.
We also have a full room in the basement designated as a sports and playroom.
On the ground floor, there is an office/guest room where some of the items currently stored in our wardrobe will be kept, so only everyday clothes will be stored in the bedroom.
I’m not a person with thousands of clothes or handbags, so we see our current needs as reasonable and believe this will work quite well for us.

And secondly: what exactly does my username have to do with the architect’s planning?
Sorry, don’t get me wrong, but please stay on topic.
Still, thank you for your opinion and effort.

Here’s a quick draft. Something like this?
So kind of you! Thanks! I will give it some thought.
