Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for some time now, and we are currently planning our floor plan. I would appreciate hearing your opinions on it.
In my view, it is a standard design with a few small special features. We really like it so far and would implement it as it is currently planned.
Maybe you will notice something that is particularly poorly designed.
Thank you very much!!

North is located approximately at the corner of the kitchen window.Oops… I would mirror the entire house so that the living areas benefit from natural light and the overall living quality improves.
I’m not a fan of the elevations, but that’s not due to the corner windows—they don’t bother me at all. I was thinking more about floor-to-ceiling windows. In that case, the corners are fine. However, I find the windows themselves somewhat inconsistent. In my opinion, the double casement windows don’t match the panoramic windows.
Regarding the floor plan:
Never build without a bathtub; it’s useful for so many things: hand washing, wool laundry, rinsing, kale preparation, medical baths, alkaline baths, and so on.
For the bedroom/dressing room, I would suggest making the partition wall only halfway and removing the bedroom door from the hallway. The office could benefit from some storage space taken from the children’s room, which could manage with 15–16cm (6–6.5 inches) less space.
This would help compensate for the lack of storage.
Otherwise, it should work well after mirroring.
Ps
I’d prefer the sunny side with neighbors rather than the north side without 🙂

I’m not a fan of the elevations, but that’s not due to the corner windows—they don’t bother me at all. I was thinking about floor-to-ceiling windows. With the corners, that works fine. Still, I find the windows themselves don’t quite fit. In my opinion, the double casement windows don’t match well with the panoramic windows.
Regarding the floor plan:
Never build without a bathtub; it’s needed for many things: hand washing, wool laundry, rinsing, cooking greens, medical baths, alkaline baths, and so on.
For the bedroom/dressing area, I would only make the partition wall halfway and omit the bedroom door from the hallway. The office could use some additional storage space from the child’s room, which can manage with 15–16 square meters (160–172 square feet).
This would help compensate for the lack of storage space.
Otherwise, the plan could work well when mirrored. Thank you very much. I will gladly take all that on board.
As I mentioned, we won’t be using floor-to-ceiling windows like that. Also, regarding the bathtub, I meant “remove” it or relocate it elsewhere—I didn’t express that well. Everything else I’m happy to take on and will discuss it with the general contractor. Thanks!

As I wrote, we will not be installing the floor-to-ceiling windows in that way. For me, the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the front door are the ones I a) would keep because b) they make the house more interesting. Otherwise, I was referring to the corner windows. The panoramic windows just never fit with the rest. It’s a mix-and-match villa when it comes to windows. Overall, it doesn’t work.

The panoramic windows never really fit with the rest. It’s a mix-and-match villa when it comes to windows. Overall, it doesn’t work. I also find the floor-to-ceiling windows generally appropriate with some minor adjustments. What bothers me the most is the large square window above the entrance. It disrupts the entire rhythm of the facade and looks like a bomb explosion. Since it only lights the staircase and landing, more elegant proportions could definitely be found there.
