Hello everyone,
My brain has been overloaded for days with the following question: "Is the utility room too small?" It is 6.8m² (73 sq ft).
My plan is to place the controlled residential ventilation and brine pump along the left wall, and the dryer and washing machine along the right wall.
The electrical panel is planned to be moved to the garage.
Do you have any useful suggestions for shifting walls?
The guest room / senior bedroom must be 3.2 x 3.5m (10.5 x 11.5 feet).

Thanks.
Move the staircase further to the left as planned. The children's rooms upstairs are relatively too large. The common room can handle that.
The small utility room will cause problems. Also, the technicians will furnish it the way they see fit, which no longer aligns with your detailed planning. That is not a common room but a bathroom, less than 2m (6.6 feet) wide, I will have issues if the shower (along the entire lower wall) splashes or I’d have to make the window narrower.
The stair runner could possibly shrink from 2.40m (7.9 feet) to 2.26m (7.4 feet).
As I said, my brain has been shrinking for days as I’ve been chewing through every possible alternative. *vomit*

Currently adjusted: right side depth to 65cm (25.6 inches), window sill height 165cm (65 inches), sliding door changed to a standard door, mechanical ventilation system yes, supply and exhaust air through the floor slab (“air well”). Room is in the southeast (102) If you have a mechanical ventilation system, you could consider raising the sill height even higher, possibly making it wider instead, like a kind of continuous window strip. You don’t really need it for ventilation.

Not every utility company agrees to that. Don’t get me started with them—they refused to connect my house connection box (self-installed) because it wasn’t their property. (So now I have two of them standing here, haha.)
According to their documents, the room only needs to be lockable (to prevent unauthorized access), and then it wouldn’t be a problem. But I’ll have them provide that in writing.

Take a look at the technical specifications to see how much space is allocated for the ventilation system, pump, etc. I don’t see how I could fit our building services plus laundry into that room.The drying rack could be moved into the office/guest bedroom; that wouldn’t be a problem.
