Additional wishes

I would like to hear your opinions, pros and cons. I find it challenging to fit 3 children’s rooms plus the master bedroom with dressing room all on one floor, so I’m curious what you think.

Have a great day

Roki & Concetta

The question is, where else would you put the washing machine and dryer???
Personally, I think it’s pointless to place them on the ground floor when all the bedrooms and children’s rooms are upstairs, where all the wardrobes with clothes are located.
Carrying dirty clothes down to the ground floor to wash them and then bringing them back upstairs seems like unnecessary work to me, as a man who also does laundry and has no problem with household chores.

I fully agree with you about the daylight issue.
How else could I do it?

Our laundry is hung outside and will continue to be, whenever the weather allows (otherwise in the utility room), so in my opinion the ground floor is more practical + a laundry chute to the bathroom upstairs.

Still pointless :-) ?!

Now I understand the site plan.... You are accessing the property from the southwest side. I would definitely change that and place the driveway on the north side. Use the south and west sides for the garden!

What do you mean by that?

What would you have planned for the room?

I didn’t have any specific idea yet, just wanted to ask...
I don’t find the single window in the bathroom problematic. With today’s lighting options, natural daylight in the bathroom is less important (in my opinion).
@haydee I see a pantry less as a cool storage space for food and more as a walk-in closet for everything I can’t or don’t want to put inside kitchen cabinets (because it’s too big).
@tumaa Unfortunately, drying laundry outside is only an option for non-allergy sufferers 🙁

Still nonsense 🙂 ?!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Wouldn't it be better not to do this due to noise transmission and drafts from the upper floor to the ground floor or vice versa? There are many arguments for and against.

But assuming I remove the laundry room, would you simply increase the bathroom to about 25 square meters (270 square feet)?

Right, the majority of the plot is being used as a driveway, which seems like a waste. Does this even comply with the floor area ratio / site coverage ratio?

I would imagine the small niche that is drawn in as shown in the attached picture. Otherwise, could something still be planned under the stairs? yes or no??

Nice niche, but it can only really be used for everyday jackets and shoes. Basically, it makes sense for the storage room to be dedicated entirely to seasonal clothing. However, it could then be a bit smaller. I would possibly arrange these three utility rooms differently... if not, there would still be enough storage space in the freezer room combined with the pantry. I would rename the pantry as a utility kitchen: here you could have a sink, space for a microwave, etc., and on the other side a broom closet and similar. Tools and decorations would then go into the technical corner. Laundry room on the upper floor for washing.
