Hello everyone,
we have finally managed to create a first floor plan. What do you think? What could be improved and what is not very well designed?

Yes, flat roofs are easier to waterproof today than in the past.
As I mentioned, I think it’s quite good overall, but we can’t really judge the usefulness of the utility room because we don’t know its width. A difference of 10, 20, or 30 cm (4, 8, or 12 inches) is significant in terms of whether you have to squeeze along the wall or not.
Guest: It’s not a suitable alternative for a bedroom later on, as it’s too small <- Note.
I question the exterior door leading to the freezer room since the main entrance is right there anyway...
And the laundry area is the dirtiest room in the entire house.
Please be cautious with well-meaning advice from people who are not familiar with modern building practices.

Well, with a knee wall height of 220 cm (87 inches), the shower area is just above 220 cm (87 inches) .. That should be taken into account. I don't think that's ideal for a shower.As I’ve mentioned before, this is not the final drawing, but thanks for the feedback anyway 🙂

Sylvia Besuch26 Feb 2015 15:26I also quite like the floor plan. When we planned our house, we included a utility/storage room on the upper floor. That’s where the washing machine is located. Since the laundry is done upstairs, it can be handled there right away. If you possibly enlarge the storage room a bit, that would also work for you, and you would have more space in the utility room downstairs for other things.

Since the laundry accumulates upstairs, it can be "processed" there right away. If you enlarge the storage room a bit, this could work for you as well, and you would have more space in the utility room downstairs for other things.That could be a good idea too, but I think the space for the dryer and washing machine is really well utilized. Also, you can go directly out to the backyard through the garage and hang the laundry outside. The upper storage room is actually meant to be a storage space for the vacuum cleaner and similar items.
Where do you plan to hang laundry in winter? With the two doors in the utility room, there might only be about 4 square meters (43 square feet) left for the washing machine and other appliances. You should reconsider this. And when you enter the house through the entrance hall, where do you intend to place a coat rack or storage for jackets and similar items?
Upstairs, I think you aimed to win the prize for the most asymmetrical rooms. 🙂 Sorry, but some of these unnecessary corners are really problematic. In my opinion, the bedroom is far too small; try furnishing it properly with a decent bed and actual dimensions. It might be better to skip the walk-in closet altogether, as it's mostly a trend anyway. And do the children’s rooms have different windows? One even has a sort of balcony door? There’s definitely a lot that could be improved, especially upstairs, which is quite problematic. 🤨
The house isn’t exactly small, so there’s plenty of potential to make better use of the space...
