Hello everyone,
We are going to build an end-of-terrace house together with a general contractor and have, of course, already planned the floor plans and thought them through accordingly.
The plot measures 10 x 21m (33 x 69 ft), and as currently planned, the maximum available space has been used up, leaving us with enough room for the garden.
On the ground floor, the staircase will be closed off at the bottom and then used as additional storage for drinks or cleaning supplies. The utility connections will also be located in the cloakroom—my wife wanted a separate room so that shoes and jackets don’t always clutter the hallway.
From November, we will be four people, so we have decided to live together on one floor (the upper floor) with our two very small children, as it is simply more practical. A requirement for our master bedroom was the possibility to place a wardrobe 3m (10 ft) wide. However, we are still not completely satisfied with the layout of the upper floor, although we cannot think of any alternatives. The bathroom should stay the same size.
The attic will include a guest room, which will mainly serve as a playroom for the children and me. A large dormer will be added there. Later, one of the older children could move up there, and the two children's bedrooms on the upper floor would be combined into one large room. We both need a home office, so it is designed somewhat larger.
We intentionally moved the technical equipment to the attic because we are building without a basement, which would have meant placing it on the ground floor. That would have significantly reduced the available space there. We will also use this area for the washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional storage room.
Additionally, we will have a converted loft with a height of 1.36m (4 ft 6 in) as extra storage space.
I look forward to your suggestions.

You probably only allow one opinion—your own, right?

For girls, one would say "sassy" Ok.By the way, I think this is what Yvonne meant about the children’s room.
You can move the wall in between until the rooms are the same size or at least roughly equal.

From my own hard-earned experience—supported by similar situations with several friends—I can say that the concept of "treating equally" only seems "fair" in one sense: both the "bigger" and the "smaller" end up feeling it's unfair about the same amount of times. Leaving aside that I always smile in builder forums about how the topic of children’s bedrooms is dealt with as if “the toddler factor” is completely ignored.

Leaving aside that in homebuilding forums I always have to smile at how often the issue of children's rooms is approached without considering the real situation No like, sorry.
If you build the mentioned wall as a lightweight partition wall, you can quite easily make it into three rooms.
But regardless, why should you always build an extra room for occasional use? Why criticize where space is already limited?
What do you want to achieve with this objection? It’s not helpful at all.
Apart from that—although I also think, if that is your reason—that the children's rooms are then way too oversized. Somehow it still lacks the golden kids' toilet… haha… sorry!
