We are planning to build a single-family house of about 170 sqm (1,830 sq ft). We want to build without a basement. The plot has a southwest orientation. We are quite satisfied with the current room layout.
An important room in the house would be a study/office.
One point we are unsure about is the layout of the living/dining area and the kitchen. Does anyone see a way to make the kitchen larger? It seems a bit small in its current form. We have already tried swapping the living room and the kitchen, but then the living room ends up with the same problem.
Upstairs, we find that the two children’s rooms are quite large. Is there a way to better divide and use this space?

I don’t think it’s that bad. Unfortunately, the dimensions are a bit unclear. At least the exterior measurements would be helpful.
Having the bedroom next to the children’s room is a concern – the wall should have additional sound insulation. 😉
The door to the master area could still be moved upwards on the plan. The entrance would then lead into the walk-in closet with an extra door to the bed area. This way, one partner can get dressed while the other continues sleeping.
The door to the kitchen opposite the stairs is missing, right? It’s a pity that the space under the stairs is only dark and unused. Is the carpenter supposed to install something underneath? I might consider dividing the storage room and converting part of it into a cloakroom, or should it be a full cloakroom instead?
