Hello everyone,
since we are currently in the planning phase of our little house, I would like to get your opinion on my design, which was drafted by the architect.
I am open to any objections or suggestions for improvement.
The main point where I would especially like to hear your thoughts is how you would approach the windows (3.01m (10 feet)) at this angle. I am currently leaning towards having the windows fully fixed. Personally, I like that best. However, my partner has concerns because:
1. The interior roller shutter box would be difficult to clean properly.
2. She is worried that the corner wouldn’t be ventilated. (In the kitchen, the two-part element is designed to open.)
Alternatively, I am willing to install a sliding door and have the other window element fixed with a mullion (to keep the appearance consistent).
Currently, the drawing shows a three-part element, which doesn’t appeal to me as much because the large surface would be mostly covered by profiles.
Maybe someone has faced the same issue before or can share their personal experience.
Otherwise, these are the only changes I would consider so far:
1. Move the garage door closer to the window so that there is space behind the door to hang or place things.
2. Place the side panel of the front door on the left side, to create a space behind it for storing, for example, a stroller.
3. Extend the wall where the fireplace will go (47cm (19 inches)) a bit. How much space should be planned on average for a fireplace? Is 75cm (30 inches) enough here?
4. Possibly use a sliding door for the hallway-to-living-room door.
A little about us:
2 people, aged 26 and 28. No children yet, possibly one in the future.
Thanks in advance for your help and opinions.
