ᐅ Single-family house with approximately 160 sqm floor area

@marv45, I think you should take a closer look at the drawing! The washing machine and dryer will be placed in the utility room under the stairs. Additionally, the staircase will be fully enclosed and either cast in concrete or built to be soundproof. The stair railing will be constructed from masonry, and behind the coat rack, which will also be enclosed, the same applies.

Furthermore, this is not a floor plan from a construction company, but one we developed together with the architect since we will be building the house ourselves.

In the bedroom, the furniture will likely be placed against the wall on the left side, which should leave enough space in the room.

Why do I get the impression that you don’t like the critical comments?

Overall, I don’t think the floor plan is that bad, even though there are some things I wouldn’t like (but that’s a matter of personal taste).

However, I also have to say that I find the layout of the bedroom combined with the walk-in closet very inconvenient. It starts with the bedside table being right in the middle of the "walking area" and ends with the walk-in closet, which you always have to go through the bedroom to exit. Won’t the partner be woken up by that?
(Not to mention that I don’t really understand the idea of having a walk-in closet connected to the bedroom when it comes to waking the partner. When my husband’s alarm goes off, I’m awake anyway, so he can just get his things together in the bedroom. 😉)

I have absolutely no problem with criticism! That’s exactly why I posted it here—to hear various opinions, including negative ones, so I can reconsider what could be done better!

Maybe it came across the wrong way?! If so, I apologize!!

Doesn’t the partner wake up as well?
(Apart from the fact that I don’t really understand the topic of a walk-in closet in relation to the partner waking up. When my husband’s alarm goes off, I’m already awake anyway, so he can just get his things together in the bedroom. 😉)

Strangely, I don’t understand the whole "my partner wakes up when I get up" (or vice versa) thing. I usually get up before my alarm goes off, and if it does ring, my wife just keeps sleeping. However, searching in the closet with the light on doesn’t work—she eventually wakes up then.

@Topic
I don’t think the floor plan is bad, but I’m not sure if the cloakroom under the stairs is big enough for 4 people.

I just go back to sleep if I’m still tired. But it doesn’t really bother me if I briefly wake up while something is being gathered in the bedroom. So I always find the argument about “waking up your partner” as a major reason for a walk-in closet a bit amusing. If someone really wants a walk-in closet, then they should have one. I personally don’t need one, and definitely not to avoid waking up my partner when getting up.
