Hello everyone!

We have now had several meetings with our architect and are unfortunately quite dissatisfied with the designs. These are the 5th drafts and still far from what we envision.

Here are the designs for now.

I am particularly bothered by the awkwardly shaped rooms. According to the architect, this is necessary due to the structural requirements of the urban villa...

Where is the TV supposed to be placed, to the right of the fireplace? The TV corner seems a bit too small to me. How is the sofa supposed to fit there? There appears to be a lot of unused space near the entrance to the living room.

To me, there are also too many corners in the individual rooms; it doesn’t look perfectly planned.

Best regards,
Sabine

A quick note regarding structural engineering: Nowadays, a lot is possible. We also have an almost 70 sqm (750 sq ft) room (living + kitchen + dining, square) which was initially considered "not feasible." The solution was a 35 cm (14 inch) steel/concrete ceiling with two hidden "columns" in the exterior wall.

Considering the number of your posts, I'd rather not dig through the history myself and ask in a lazy way: Where is your house located here?
