House design
Designed by:
- Planner from a general contractor: GC according to our requirements
What do you particularly like? Large hallway, master bedroom “soundproofed” from the children’s rooms
What do you dislike? Why? Bathroom still too large, enlarge master bedroom. Walk-in closet with only one door and separate entrance to master bedroom.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 290,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: Pure house cost GC: 280,000 EUR
Preferred heating technology: Gas with underfloor heating

If you had to give up on details/extensions, which ones?
- Could you give up: Velux window in the bathroom, sauna
- Could not give up: Walk-in closet

Why has the design turned out as it is? For example:
Standard design from the planner? --> Visiting show houses, the modified floor plan feels open and friendly
What makes it especially good or bad in your opinion? Separation of master and children’s rooms. Large living and dining area. Large hallway.

What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are the children’s rooms too small? Is the bathroom too small if the master bedroom has its own entrance door?

We have a knee wall height of 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches). As someone who is 1.90 meters (6 feet 3 inches) tall, I would always hit my head there, wouldn’t I?

You would more likely do this at that position – the slope is there as well.
Behind the toilet, a small recess will be made, possibly exactly the same depth as by the bathtub. At least enough so that the toilet rim is at or above the 2-meter (6 feet 7 inches) line.

What is the knee wall height now? The 2m (6 ft 7 in) line would help. I would try to have all the doors on the upper floor at 90cm (35 inches) wide.

Yes, the 2m (6.5 ft) line and a few layout sketches would help. For example, both the children's room and the master bedroom look somewhat awkwardly shaped when I try to imagine the furniture arrangement.

I would also like to see the U-shaped kitchen.

Wardrobe under the stairs? WHERE?
