Hello, I'm looking forward to your feedback. We had the first planning meeting today and now have the first sketches. Most of what we had planned beforehand has been implemented.
What we especially like:

the open living concept downstairs, which makes very efficient use of space.

we also like the bedroom upstairs. When both children are here, the niche can be used openly as a study or, if needed, separated by a drywall partition to create an additional full room.

What is not ideal:
The location of the bathroom downstairs is not perfect, but we couldn’t improve it without either
A) adding a hallway
B) losing space on the south side

The walls there will also be made of calcium silicate blocks to improve sound insulation somewhat. Generally, we are an open family, and visitors who don’t like it can just go upstairs.

So this works for us.

Another less ideal aspect is the location of the fireplace. It comes out of the clipped side of the roof here. But it’s okay, not a deal breaker.

I’m looking forward to your feedback!

So, are they now proposing a stair landing with a split landing? 🤨

No, that’s a limitation of Kaho’s drawing software .. it has always been like that. Given the planned space, it is a standard staircase without landings 😉

Also a nice design. I like it well enough, but my girlfriend is not too fond of it.
However, it is definitely something I could like. Although, as mentioned, we don’t want the extra home office upstairs. Too many small rooms for the floor area. But functional.
