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!!

The entrance area is absolutely uninspiring. A cloakroom behind the door (just barely acceptable...) and the staircase right next to the door. Strange passage to the restroom under the stairs. A 1.2 m (4 feet) wide hallway?
No storage or utility space available. Okay, a loft space for the seasonal items, but what else? The utility room is too small at 8 sqm (86 sq ft) for this purpose.
The upper floor has already been "criticized."

The upper floor has already been “criticized.” Hm, okay, I agree with some points but not all. Often the staircase is directly at the entrance. Some people mind it, others don’t. I think it’s a matter of personal taste. The staircase in the passage to the restroom is barely existing or rather disappears already on the upper floor. We have also seen this several times and it doesn’t bother us either. Is a hallway width of 1.2 m (4 feet) too narrow? Storage space is hardly visible on the floor plan, that’s true, but as you said, the attic serves this purpose. Additionally, the office will also be used for storage since it is mostly planned with just a desk and a shelf. One or two cabinets will be added there for storage. A small cabinet for odds and ends will be installed behind the door in the utility room. Currently, we don’t have many more storage options, and it works perfectly fine for us 🙂

In summary, this is how we would proceed:
- I consider the ground floor as the reference point. Even if one assumes that the assessment that the ground floor is essentially "finished" is correct, I strongly recommend optimizing the upper floor independently, without relying on preserving the ground floor as is. Otherwise, the improvements can turn into a chaotic mess.
The sleeping area usually has a more detailed layout than two floors combined. In practice, this means you either plan it first or the effort to coordinate load-bearing walls and downpipes becomes exhausting and often requires several adjustments.
Planning the living and entrance floor first is a challenging task that experienced builders wisely avoid and can easily cause great frustration for newcomers.

Where @driver55 is right, he is right.
Do you live in a house? Are you already collecting tools and flower pots? And how much decoration do you have for how many square meters (sq m) of living space? Needs tend to grow when you give them space.
I already mentioned it: the office is quite small. While it might all work well on the plan, you usually furnish with more than just the main pieces. We have a 14 sq m (150 sq ft) office with a 3-meter (10 ft) closet for change of jackets, files, and hobby stuff, and the room could definitely be bigger so you can spread out with a sewing machine next to the PC. People change over their lifetime, and while decluttering creates space, it doesn’t reduce needs.
But it’s quite impractical. Though I also find it acceptable. Well, not really.
Guests can probably see into the toilet when sitting at the dining table.
Yep. Even our terraced house had 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in)... and that’s why we now have 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in)... 1.3 m simply didn’t work, it affected the comfort level.
