Hello everyone,
we are currently working on the floor plan for our house.
We would like to hear your opinions regarding the ground floor. What would you change and why?
Is the utility/technical room too small? Part of the laundry/utility room could also be used for the electrical connections.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size 669m2 (7204 sq ft)
Slope No
Adjacent buildings only garage
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of floors 2
Roof type hipped roof
Architectural style modern
Orientation south
Maximum height/limits
Other requirements
Homeowner requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type
Basement, number of floors
Number of occupants, age
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor
Office: family use or home office?
Overnight guests per year
Closed architecture
Modern construction method
Closed kitchen with island
Number of dining seats 4
Fireplace yes
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage
Utility garden, greenhouse
House design
Designed by:

What do you particularly like? Why?
What do you not like? Why? Utility room is oddly shaped and the technical room is probably too small

If you have to give up, which details/extensions
- can you do without:
- cannot do without: pantry/guest room
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

I have a spontaneous suggestion for the upper floor. The room shapes would be clearer, and the walk-in closet wouldn’t feel so confined. Also, I find the bedroom in your floor plan too narrow. With 3 meters (10 feet) width minus a 2-meter (6.5 feet) bed, that leaves only 50 centimeters (20 inches) on each side to the wall.
I would make the hallway a bit narrower; I think 2.5 meters (8 feet) would be sufficient, and you could use the saved space in the rooms.
Of course, the windows would need to be adjusted accordingly.
Whether all this works out in detail would still need to be checked. I also think 2.5-meter (8-foot) wide hallways are excessive. 2 meters (6.5 feet) is more than enough if you don’t fill them with cabinets or a sofa. It’s better to create larger living spaces with the area gained.

I gave it a like out of respect because, in principle, you already thought it through quite wisely. Unfortunately, this is not a design with just a few flaws, but one that, in my opinion, can only really be saved by starting over. Yes, I completely agree with you! I just had this spontaneous idea and really wanted to share it :p

I also think hallways 2.5m (8.2 ft) wide are excessive. 2m (6.6 ft) is more than enough if you don’t want to fill them with cupboards or a couch. Better to use the gained space for larger living rooms. Well, our staircase plus banister takes up 110cm (43 inches) in width. That would leave only 90cm (35 inches) if the hallway were 2m (6.6 ft) wide. That’s too narrow for me; you need enough room to pass each other and carry furniture through. But you’re right, a full 2.5m (8.2 ft) width isn’t necessary either.

Well, for us, the staircase plus the balustrade takes up a width of 110cm (43 inches). So with a 2m (79 inches) width, only 90cm (35 inches) would be left. That’s too little for me, you need space to pass each other and to move furniture through. But you’re right, you don’t need a full 2.5m (98 inches).
Okay, I hadn’t considered that since we’re building a bungalow :-) Our entrance area will be 1.95m (77 inches) wide.

Myrna_Loy7 May 2021 09:59The plan is really beyond saving.
Regarding the floor plan itself, three dining areas are at least one too many. It looks very much like Tetris.
The hallway is too wide.
The staircase is too short.
In the recessed area for storage and the utility room, wind accumulates all the dirt.
Why isn’t a functional standard being used?
