Here are the ground floor and first floor plans.

I think the design is quite good now, considering what you posted earlier. The rooms are clearly organized and functional.

I looked at the design on its own earlier and only now compared it to the previous one:

I would also separate the two bathrooms spatially.

They were separate before; now I think this is better. Previously, it felt like two bathrooms — now it feels more like one with a partition between the kids’ and parents’ areas. Only with access from the bedroom walk-in closet suite (which was part of the old design) does the master bath conceptually make sense.

I also think you should reconsider the upper floor completely; for example, how about placing the walk-in closet in the cross gable?

The upper floor is almost the same as before, except for the swap of the children’s bathroom and stairs. The cross-gabled dormer used to be just a bay window on the upper floor, making it different from the cross gable on the other side. Now they are comparable and their different styles look a bit off.

Extending this bay window downward was a suggestion from the previous thread https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/feedback-zu-unserem-Grundriss-und-hausentwurf.23960/ — and it was implemented, as was straightening the dining room (previously recessed in two directions) and the living room (previously recessed in one direction).

I should basically praise the fact that suggestions from the other thread have been implemented. But: the previous design at least felt individual, while the current one, despite the clearly inherited upper floor, now looks like an uninspired catalog design with the basement option enabled.

Without claiming that this is necessarily "better," here is a visualization of the "changed" version:

And, as mentioned, align the roof structures (both flat roofs).

My clear favorite, however, is a complete redesign—preferably as a "reengineering"—without carrying over elements from the "old" drafts.

OK, interesting feedback. About "Room1" on the ground floor: this is intended to be a small office with a sofa, and we specifically planned this room on the ground floor because we definitely wanted such a room there. Through the window of this room and the kitchen window, the house connects visually with the street, so we don’t feel completely cut off from activity on the (play) street.

In the area where Room1 is currently located, the original design initially included a half-landing staircase, which required more space. However, we deliberately decided against such a spacious and therefore more formal staircase, and chose Room1 instead. This was not a “utility room” that lost its purpose after planning the basement.

Den Raumteiler zwischen Küche und Esszimmer interpretiere ich nach der Wandstärke mal als tragende Wand - dann fehlt aber dem Unterzug / Sturz sowohl statisch als auch optisch das wohnzimmerseitige Auflager.

I didn’t understand this. Could you please rephrase it in other words? We plan to add a small partial wall on the left side in the kitchen/dining room passage to make it look more balanced. Is that what you mean?

Hättet Ihr ohne Kniestock auch so eine schöne Hühnerleiter ? ;-)

What do you understand by “Hühnerleiter”? I assume it refers to the staircase, but what does that have to do with the knee wall? As mentioned above, the location of the staircase is also because of the decision to have Room1.

Furthermore, we will significantly widen the door to the living room. It will probably be a sliding door with clear glass panels, creating a visual axis from the entrance door to the garden.

Oh, and I almost forgot: we will probably design the bathroom as an en suite after all, meaning no more access from the hallway, only through the bedroom/dressing area. It is true that this makes the concept of a "children’s bathroom" consistent.

The roof shape of both dormers is a uniform gable roof.

If you remove a staircase, the floor plan should always be adjusted immediately afterwards. Floor plan and staircase go together like budgerigars—you should always keep them as a pair ;-)

You simply can’t understand that. If this partition wall just stands there as decoration, meaning the passage next to it is full height, then I was referring to a completely different matter. That’s why I won’t say or draw anything else about it—you can just disregard my thoughts on that.

This design reminded me less of your previous draft and more of the one from the linked thread by SupaCriz. In that design, there is no knee wall, so the attic is accessed via what you might diplomatically call a space-saving staircase.

That’s good, but I didn’t interpret it that way from the plan.

Forgot to mention: I would place the walk-in closet access on the left side of the plan, so you disturb the person still sleeping less when getting dressed 🙂

Best regards, Yvonne

Do you mean that the walk-in closet access shouldn’t be parallel to the gable end, but turned 90 degrees near the bedroom door? We had already considered that, but wouldn’t you then be walking straight toward the bedroom door when coming out of the closet—possibly bumping into it if it opens?
