We really like the open staircase, especially that it leads up from the living area. We have thoroughly considered the respective disadvantages. Otherwise, the entrance is on the north side, and the house is on a south-facing slope.

I like it. I wouldn’t change anything except for the chimney. I find it unattractive on the outside like that. Another delicate point is that Child 2 can watch Mom and Dad from the bedroom balcony.

Here are the views without straining your neck

Oh, I missed one thing. Not enough windows! I would add another window in the kitchen, as well as in the upstairs storage room, the bathroom, the cloakroom, and the office. Child 1 could have one, too.

So, the kitchen is very difficult to plan this way.

Missing the garden access.
The most important thing when you have children.

The bedroom faces directly south; I would rather assign that to the children's room.

Otherwise, Kaho has covered everything.
