Hello everyone, we are in the final stages of planning our house and would like to get your opinion on our floor plans. The building permit / planning application has not yet been submitted, so changes are still possible.
Urban villa / hipped roof
Plot size: 615 sqm (6620 sq ft)
Orientation: Entrance facing east, garden area southwest
Number of parking spaces: 2 plus a large garage (6 x 6 m) (20 x 20 ft)
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: hipped roof
Style: modern
Owners’ requirements:
Style, roof type, building type: urban villa, modern
Basement, floors: without
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: everything shown in the floor plan
Office: family use or home office? home office
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen
Number of dining seats: up to 10
Oven / stove: yes
Garage, carport: garage
Energy: air-to-water heat pump and possibly an electricity storage system with solar panels
At the moment, we are considering moving the kitchen to the other side and creating a passage to the utility room. This would change the shape of the bathroom, making it longer and narrower, and allow us to enlarge the utility room so it could also serve as a pantry.
The layout upstairs should remain as it is. We know the bathroom is quite large, but if possible we would like to keep it that way. The window arrangement is not finalized yet. We would appreciate any suggestions.

You definitely need to have the width of the walk-in closet changed!!! With a rough construction measurement of 3.01 meters (10 feet), a 3-meter (10 feet) wardrobe won’t fit in the end. I never understand how this mistake happens so often.
For a kitchen of that size, expect to spend quite a bit more.Our architect knows the measurements and will plan exactly according to the furniture we already have and want to keep. So no mistake has been made yet. But thanks for the tip (that’s the Canadian side of me :-)
We’re planning to consult a kitchen designer soon anyway, so we’ll see what comes next.

@RobsonMKK Our bedroom is about 3.60 meters (12 feet) wide. We have a 4-door wardrobe that is 3.40 meters (11 feet) wide. In the dressing room, we have 2 IKEA Malm dressers and 5 open cabinets with a total width of 4.25 meters (14 feet)! That’s more than enough ... !Robin means the thread starter Daniela 🙂
Let’s get out of here 😉
@blackm88 I wasn’t referring to you 😉
@DanielaS All right, but I would consider the next small step if other furniture comes that isn’t measured in inches. Then, only a 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wardrobe would fit into the current 3.01 m (9 ft 11 in) niche, or a custom-made piece. The "issue" is that we’re talking about 2-3 cm (1 inch) that could become "decisive" later on.

Me neither, and I never said that. It’s simply that the symmetry-related increase in surface areas leads to size dimensions into which a lot of money is poured.That’s exactly how I see it too.
For example, you have a large bedroom. More than enough space, but only because of the symmetry. Since the symmetry is reflected in the windows on the south and west sides on both the ground floor and upper floor, the large bedroom can hardly be fully utilized.
On one hand, both windows will trap the heat of the sun (personally, one south-facing window is already enough to cause sweating), and on the other hand, without the west-facing window, the room would have enough space for the three-meter (10-foot) wardrobe and dresser. The walk-in closet would then be an extra room.
The window in the walk-in closet anyway takes away the room’s purpose of being a cozy and private place to change or get dressed without feeling prudish.
