See, I told you?

A walk-in closet that’s only accessible through the bedroom is basically just a larger wardrobe. If I don’t want to disturb the person sleeping, I shouldn’t have to go through the bedroom after getting dressed. So the walk-in closet should be designed as an entry/exit room.

(I think I don’t understand your post)

Me neither.
I think a walk-in closet is simply an extra room for clothes so the bedroom stays free from piles of fabric.
A walk-in closet accessible only through the bedroom has the same drawback as a wardrobe: it disturbs the person sleeping. That’s why it’s better to have a small hallway with two separate doors or plan the closet cleverly in front of the bedroom.

A walk-in closet with only one entrance is inconvenient because you have to keep disturbing the person who is still or already in bed. Having the closet as a vestibule to the bedroom makes more sense and is more considerate.

The design is not so great that it should be carved in stone and copied by the other company.

That was just a first draft that definitely requires changes. Scanhaus Marlow cannot realize our request for an open void space, and their price shows that prefabricated houses are not cheaper than solid construction; in fact, it’s the opposite.

Unfortunately, the architect has made no changes, so the ball is in our court again. According to him, the living area is 125 m² (1,345 sq ft).

Whether a walk-in closet serves as a passage room is a matter of personal preference. A passage room, in any form, is simply avoidable. However, if it can’t be avoided due to lack of space, then you have to reconsider the layout.

No, a walk-through room is not always to be avoided. If the dressing room is intended, among other things, to allow one person to get ready without waking the other, it makes sense to design the dressing room as a walk-through space leading to the bedroom (or alternatively, as an enclosed area connected to the bathroom).

If it is not designed this way, then you simply have a walk-in closet. Plenty of space, but no additional practical benefit.

You are planning your bedroom as a walk-through room!

Whether a dressing room can serve as a walk-through room is probably a matter of taste.

This has nothing to do with taste, only with consideration.
If we had our dressing room at the back, meaning the bedroom as a walk-through room, as you are planning, we would no longer be married.

Therefore, we planned a passage to the bathroom so that you don’t have to go through the bedroom again. But it’s definitely inconvenient if someone is already sleeping…

An additional advantage of having a walk-in closet as a passage room is that you don’t have to use a hallway to get dressed. For example, when guests are around, my husband likes to go from the bed to the shower in his underwear in the morning and then walk naked to the wardrobe. He doesn’t pick out his clothes in advance and probably never will. That’s why we are designing it so that he can do all of this within the privacy of the bedroom–walk-in closet–bathroom area, without being seen by guests. Access to both other rooms is through the walk-in closet, which also means there are no two doors to close if you want some peace and quiet in the bathroom.
