Hello everyone,
would you like to share your thoughts on our current design?
With our little ones, the house has become too small. There are now six of us.
The new section is easy to understand from the floor plans.
In my opinion, the floor plan is already quite optimized, but sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.
I’m looking forward to your comments!
Note:
In the current design, the dormer is not yet properly integrated into Child’s Room 2. Just imagine that the dormer is as wide on the inside as the room itself.
The zoning plan and building envelope allow for this extension.

By the way, I like the open-plan living area: a large dining space, with a family corner there, and a chill-out area behind it.
Where do you have the technical equipment? And where do you do the laundry? Is everything located in the utility room, including the freezer???
Do you actually have a lot of guests? Do you need a separate room? Or an office?
I would keep the cloakroom as an enclosed wardrobe/dressing room without an external door. Later on, when the children are tidier and take their jackets themselves to their closets in their rooms, it will be a nice multipurpose room.
I can imagine that in a few years the older sister will/wants to move to the ground floor. However, I also see the ground floor more as a parents' area.
For a self-contained apartment (later), there is the option to connect the “living room and office” now and later convert the cloakroom into a bathroom.
Alternatively, you could retrofit an entrance from the carport to the cloakroom and close off the stairway to the main entrance, so the ground floor uses the main entrance with everything accessible without stairs and cloakroom.
In both cases, I see access to the “guest” room (later a bedroom) through the new living room.

Since then, there have been some changes, and the architect’s current proposal is to omit the partition wall. Consequently, we will of course remove the insulation. I recently forgot to mention this: On one hand, I see in the plans that the existing gable wall, which will now become an interior wall, is kept at its original thickness—meaning the exterior insulation (ETICS / external thermal insulation composite system) apparently has not been removed; on the other hand, the extension shows a different wall structure. Why does the architect not maintain a consistent wall construction approach with such a relatively new existing building?
