Hello everyone,
Here are our requirements:
- Staircase not directly at the entrance (not the typical quarter-turn staircase with the first step right at the entrance area)
- Home office on the ground floor
- Living, dining, and kitchen arranged in an L-shape
- Utility room on the ground floor
- 2 children’s bedrooms, preferably facing the garden and therefore to the south
- Each children’s bedroom with 2 windows, not just 1
- 1 master bedroom, with a walk-in closet if possible
- 1 bathroom on the upper floor, no second separate children’s bathroom
The attached drawings should be understood as sketches, meaning that the general contractor will adjust them to the next standard structural module. The window arrangements are also not yet finalized to the centimeter. The current plan is for the entrance door and an adjacent side panel to be the same size as the window above, creating symmetry.
The staircase is designed with 17 risers (i.e., 16 steps) and, with a tread depth of 28cm (11 inches), covers a height difference of 297.5cm (117 inches) (17 x 17.5cm (7 inches)). Depending on the top floor construction and thickness of the intermediate ceiling, this should work; otherwise, some millimeter-level adjustments per riser may be necessary.
Two full stories, hipped roof with a 25-degree pitch. The attic will be accessible via a retractable attic ladder. Roof overhang is 50cm (20 inches) all around.

Usually, you plan for the house sale – but even with 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in), you still have 70 cm (28 in) on each side.
I like it better this way. You just have to consider the window – maybe plenty of continuous hanging space and a dresser or something will be enough – natural daylight when choosing clothes is also a plus.

- 1.06 m (3.5 ft) for the bathroom with the sink is not ideal, as there isn’t much clearance for passage.
- The wardrobe is missing.
- I find the sofa orientation unfortunate.
- The door placement in the bedroom is somewhat awkward – although at first, I thought the larger room was the bedroom, which wouldn’t be a bad idea. Bed under the sloped ceiling, a row of wardrobes along one wall, and another row along the wall at the top of the plan. Now I don’t understand what this room is supposed to be. Also, the 1.62 m (5.3 ft) space for a 60 cm (24 inch) wardrobe row could be a bit tight – but not necessarily.
Otherwise, there are missing windows.

- 1.06 m (3 ft 6 in) for the toilet with the washbasin is not good like that (not much clearance width left) Okay, I will check that again.
- Missing the wardrobe Shoes go under the platform stairs, coats, etc. go in the wardrobe under the stairs (this is shown).
- I find the sofa orientation unfortunate Huh?
- The door is somewhat awkward in the bedroom – although at first I thought the larger room was the bedroom – which I wouldn’t mind. Bed under the sloped ceiling, a row of wardrobes along one wall, another row of wardrobes along the wall at the top of the plan. Now I don’t understand what kind of room this is supposed to be. Especially since the 1.62 m (5 ft 4 in) for a 60 cm (24 in) wardrobe row might be a bit tight – but maybe not. There will probably be no sloped ceilings, 2 full floors with a hipped roof.
The two large rooms are children’s rooms with south/garden orientation.
The bedroom door – that’s why there’s 140 cm (4 ft 7 in) of space there. How much space would actually be necessary?
Otherwise, there are missing windows. Yep, this is just a draft.
Then I find the second children's bedroom quite – let's say – unique.
1.4 m (4.6 feet) is enough – I meant more that the door is basically in the way when you want to leave the room from the walk-in closet. Not the biggest issue, but it could probably be designed differently.

Yep, draft.I thought you couldn’t read that anymore—that designing a house isn’t just done through plans, but also requires considering the elevations. This is shown to you so often.

Shoes under the landing stairs, coats, etc. in the cloakroom under the stairs (which is drawn)Then we end up again with the dirt zone in front of the staircase entrance, which you were trying to avoid.
Otherwise, I would question most of the dimensions: for example, with the 60 cm (24 inches) spaces, neither a light switch, nor a door frame, nor a wardrobe would fit on the wall.
