ᐅ Basement Layout Planning – Looking for Ideas

Good evening everyone,

Although we are close to commissioning the shell construction, we used the Easter holidays to review the floor plans once again. During this, our "stepchild" reappeared – the basement.

The hallway simply feels too large to us; somehow it still doesn’t quite fit. We would appreciate it if you could share some ideas with us.

A few points from our side:

• The heating system could be placed under the stairs – but the available height needs to be checked again. This would reduce the size of the utility room, shift the hallway upward, and possibly allow the other rooms to become larger.
• The chimney no longer extends into the basement, but the laundry chute currently remains in that position.
• The bathroom location is not fixed – it could also be moved into the storage room, though this would make that space more irregularly shaped.
• The light well in the utility room has already been eliminated. Unfortunately, other shafts cannot be planned because of the bay windows – so apart from the office, the basement will continue to be mainly basement space.

Many thanks in advance for your ideas – questions are of course welcome.
