Good evening everyone,
We have fallen in love with the floor plan of a concrete house supplier who has a show home park in Kaarst. We have already visited the house several times 😎. The floor plan is attached.
Here are the changes we would like to make:
- Mirror the kitchen to the opposite side of the living room
- Do not recess the front door
- Build up a wall between the bathtub and the door for seating or as a shelf
- Possibly a larger bathtub
The planned exterior dimensions are 10.5 m x 10.5 m (34 ft 5 in x 34 ft 5 in).
What do you think of the floor plan / any suggestions for improvement?
Best regards
Ingo

I’m puzzled about what’s so terrible about it? 😕 Is this a personal issue with your guests? Or is the space for the coat area strictly reserved? Please enlighten me!Why not ask your architect if they have the guest bathroom right next to the front door? Probably not, unless it was their own design.

I would reconsider the window wall on the ground floor so you can also overlook the garden from inside. The current layout looks great from the outside but you don’t get much of a view from inside since there are always walls between the windows 🙁We spent a long time again in the living room today. I actually find the window wall on the ground floor really great, both from the inside and from the outside.

Wondering what exactly is so terrible about it? 😕 Is this a personal issue with your guests? Or is the space for the wardrobe absolutely reserved? Please enlighten me!I’m wondering as well. There is an argument against it (keyword: "guest toilet near the entrance"), but in times of ventilation systems and many floor plan designs, that argument isn’t really valid. The case in favor is actually stronger, but it depends on the specific design and the clients' preferences.
Since you already want to enjoy toilet sounds in the bedroom, I have a bad suspicion about the reason behind this requirement.
It’s a pity that the original poster and thread might get lost—please repost the thread after restarting.

Just ask your architect if they have the guest toilet right next to the front door; probably not, at least if they are doing their own planning.But now it’s backfiring: THE architect, let’s consider the standard guidelines and basics architects follow (one learns this, another that; architecture also depends on generations and trends), says you shouldn’t place a toilet next to the front door because… because the sounds and odors can escape through the window to the outside. It actually has nothing to do with the interior door!
@flamingo: it’s related to the window and the resonance effect of the toilet bowl!
By the way, very few architects design open kitchens… also because of the odors 🙂
