Hello everyone!
I would like to hear your opinions on our long-prepared floor plan, so I’m starting a new thread just before submitting the building permit / planning permission with the current design of our single-family house.
These are the preliminary drafts for the building permit / planning permission, and this is my last chance to review everything and point out any issues.
Basically, everything fits our needs, but before finalizing the detailed planning, there is still some flexibility and the floor plan might be adjusted.
I would be very grateful for your suggestions, ideas, and criticism!
Greetings from Leipzig!

The entrance seems rather narrow to me; I actually wanted a more spacious hallway with a wardrobe. That should make you think. You can cry today, but tomorrow you'll be glad that we were honest. Cry because you trusted someone too much there.You are all right, and I’m really grateful for the honest feedback! The drawing is a plan we found on the internet and then revised with a planner. We have now submitted this design to the architect employed at our construction company. They accepted the plan without any comments and even praised it! Still, I remain concerned about the entrance area, as I haven’t found a solution for it yet.

But above all, the entrance area still worries me because I still haven’t found a solution!And once again: you should worry least about the entrance area, because it will work. Everything else won’t, at least not in a way that you can be satisfied with. The planner did not earn their money.

For example, the living room: I still get the impression its size was chosen purely based on square meters. But you must have had a reason for that. However, all suggestions like swapping the kitchen and living room won’t help if you carefully thought it through and don’t want to change it.
So—what activities are planned for the "dance floor"? Why does your husband say it should be at least 30 m² (320 ft²)?
